On 08/29/2023, an informal office meeting was conducted today at the Fresno South Regional Child Care Office. In attendance was Licensee Denniesha Washington, homeowner/landlord Michael Cook, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Candis Rodriguez, and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Susie Fanning. The purpose of today's informal office meeting was to discuss concerns regarding the health and safety of children in Licensee's care.

On 08/22/2023, Licensee contacted Community Care Licensing (CCL) and stated her home had suffered flooding in the day care areas including the bathroom the children use, at the end of July 2023. Licensee stated she could not use her home to provide care, so she had been renting out another home, which is unlicensed, to provide day care services to children. Licensee stated she had been utilizing this unlicensed home from 08/05/2023 to 08/22/2023. Licensee was instructed to stop providing care at the unlicensed and unauthorized location. Licensee was also advised not to provide care in her licensed home until the repairs that had began were completed, and to contact Licensing upon completion and when Licensee resumes operating.

Licensee stated the home she was renting out to provide care was located at 4205 Charter Oaks Ave, Bakersfield, CA. Licensee stated Brenda Cook and Michael Cook (landlord's father) both live in the home, but Michael Cook (landlord's father) was not present during the time Licensee provided care for children in the home. Licensee stated Brenda Cook was present in the home. LPA reviewed fingerprint clearances and determined Brenda Cook is finger print cleared and associated to Licensee's facility. LPM advised Licensee that Michael Cook (landlord's father) has a lifetime exclusion by the Department and can not be present in any licensed community care facility. Licensee stated her plan is to remain closed until the repairs are completed in her licensed facility.

LPM and LPA discussed with Licensee the requirement to report unusual incidents to CCL by phone within one business day, and submit a written Unusual Incident Report (LIC 624) within 7 days. LPM and LPA also discussed with Licensee the requirement to provide care only in the licensed areas of the home and that licenses are not transferable to an unauthorized and unlicensed home or other location. Licensee stated she understands the requirements to report incidents and the limitations of the license. Licensee stated she also understands the fingerprint clearance requirements of adults present in the home and/or around day care children.

Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, of the California Code of Regulations, no deficiencies are cited.

It was discussed that continued violations of Title 22 Regulations may result in a Non-Compliance conference or a possible referral of the child care facility to the Legal Division for possible Administrative Action. A copy of this signed report was provided to Licensee Denniesha Washington.
