On Friday, September 19, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lea Habtom arrived at the facility for an unannounced case management inspection. LPA met with Owner/Director, Subashini (Sue) Ranatunga and Owner Lucky Ranatunga. There were 29 preschool children in classrooms green, toddler II, red room & blue room being supervised by 7 preschool teachers. All staff have fingerprint clearances and associations.

LPA notified the director the purpose of the inspection is in response to the self reported unusual incident received on September 15, 2025.

On September 15, 2025, the self reported unusual incident disclosed that a child (C1) made their way out of the classroom and outside of the preschool. This incident occurred around 11:40 AM - 12:00 PM. Interviews and review of video footage, LPA gathered that the classroom door was left propped open after a parent arrived to drop off their child (C1). A child (C2) approached the open door from the corner of the room as the teacher (S1) followed (C2) from the bathroom area. The director states that the child has patterns of attempting to run out of the room. The teacher (S1) met the parent at the door as the child (C2) went to interact with child (C1). The child (C2) squeezed their way between the parent and out of the opened door. The door was then closed by the teacher (S1). Within seconds, the door was opened by the parent who stepped out of the room. The teacher (S1) also stepped out of the classroom to what seemed like looking for the child. The video footage of the hallway showed the child (C2) running out in the hallway. There was no staff seen in the hallway footage as the child (C2) was running down the hallway. Around 11:50 AM, the child (C2) then opened the front door and left the building. At 11:50 AM, the administrator Mr. Lucky (S2) opened the door to go after the child. The administrator is then seen walking back towards the front door with the child (C2). At 11:51 AM, the administrator (S2) and child (C2), meet the teacher (S1) at the front door. Prior to the incident, the director states they were working with the family to come up with a solution to address the behavior.

Based on the information gathered, LPA has conclude that there was an absence of supervision when the door of the classroom was shut after the child left the room. The child also ran down the hallway with no staff following. The child also made their way outside of the preschool facility with no staff following until the owner retrieved the child.

FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form.

DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies:
  • Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.
  • Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and information given.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.
