Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On October 22, 2025 Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Garcia and Tran made an unannounced case management visit to finalize adding Room 5 to the facility to increase capacity and adding an infant outdoor yard 'A'. LPAs met with Director, Savannah Ranger, and Licensee, Magda Bachakashvili. The Department received an application with Emergency Disaster Plan and sketches from the director requesting to change Room 6, from their preschool license, into an infant room for their infant license, therefore increasing their infant capacity from 10 to 20. During the inspection, the facility was inspected for health and safety hazards. Indoor space for room 6 is equal to 515 sq. ft. divided by 35 sq. ft. which can accommodate up to 14 children. The licensee had requested to increase the capacity to a total of 20 infants within the license. Today's measurements are lower than the initial measurements from 3/7/25 due to more encumbered space and the final setup of the sleeping area. The sleeping area was not included as part of the indoor activity space. LPAs observed a changing table in the room in arm's reach of a sink. The classrooms have a centralized fire alarm, a smoke and carbon monoxide detector, and a fully charged fire extinguisher. The facility has age appropriate toys, furniture, and equipment available for children. There are storage spaces for children's personal belongings located inside the classroom. There are two bathrooms located outside of the infant classrooms with a sink and two toilets in each bathroom. The bathrooms were observed to be clean and with no health and safety hazards. There is a separate bathroom for staff usage. ***Continue to page 2*** ***Page 2 continued*** The new additional outdoor space 'A' for the infant children is adjacent to infant Room 5. The initial outdoor yard 'D' for infants allowed for a capacity of 7. The space included the deck/walk area and the barricaded infant area. LPA Garcia observed that the deck/walk area was not barricaded for children to be utilized. LPA Garcia discussed with director if that area had ever been used for the infants. Per director, it had never been used for infants, therefore it will be removed during today's visit. The only active infant areas are the new yard 'A' next to Room 5 and the existing yard 'D' barricaded next to Room 1. The new total outdoor area yard 'A' and 'D', consisting of two separate areas measures at 1219.04 sq. ft. divided by 75 sq. ft. which accommodates 16 children. LPAs observed that the yard consists of small benches, play structures/slides and age appropriate furniture for outdoor activity. Based on the previous report on 3/7/2025, the facility needed to decrease the total capacity in the preschool license (214005495) from 51-41 to compensate for the capacity increase under the infant license. The facility submitted the capacity decrease for preschool license number 214005495 on 10/7/25 with total capacity of 29 children with 8 toddlers between the ages of 18-36 months. Fire clearance was approved for that request on 10/14/25. The room addition and capacity increase from 10 to 20 total infant children has been granted on 3/7/25 and as of today's date, the new outdoor area is also granted. Facility currently has an outdoor waiver for yard 'D' on file and will be followed until the updated waiver for yard 'A' is approved by management. No deficiencies are cited today under the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12. Notice of Site Visit is provided and must remain posted for 30 days. A copy of the report was reviewed and discussed with the Director, Savannah Ranger.
