On 03/01/21 at 3:00 PM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Monica Mathur conducted an unannounced investigation at Kid Time Inc. for allegation of unlicensed care being provided at 1942 Linda Dr, Pleasant Hill, 94523. This location is in the process of being licensed by CCL and an application is pending subject to fire clearance and prelicensing inspection. Investigation and interview was conducted over the phone due to COVID19 restrictions. LPA spoke to Charles Hodes who stated he is the Director designate for this facility and that owner, Leah Rosenthal was out of town at the time. Charles stated he and staff of 5 provided care and supervision for 20 children, ages 5-9 years from 7:00 am - 6:00 pm for 2 days (02/23/21 - 02/24/21). On 02/25/21 the Fire Marshal informed that they could not use this premises and were required to schedule a fire clearance before operating child care. Facility ceased to operate on 02/25/21, children were picked up early by parents and facility was completely emptied out. Charles stated he is now aware that unlicensed care was being provided and there was a misunderstanding whether they could operate at this location or not at that time. They have not provided care since 02/25/21.
