25 | During the course of a complaint investigation, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Melchisedeck Augustin made an unannounced Case Management (CM) visit and met with Licensee (LS), Jennifer Hixson to verify the facility’s operational status. On 02/08/24, LPA interviewed two staff (S2 & S3) who stated LS sold the home approximately two weeks ago, the facility was not in operation; and the facility was permanently closed.
During the visit, LS confirmed she sold the home and donated all the daycare equipment, and the facility closed effective, 01/15/24. LS allowed LPA to take a tour of the home and some of the furnishing in the home had been removed. LPA did not see or hear any daycare children in the home and LPA did not see evidence or indication to suggest that childcare services was being provided. LS submitted her original license and a written statement reflecting she was no longer interested in operating a childcare facility.
The facility license is forfeited in accordance with California of Code of Regulations (CCR) 102383(a)(1), and the facility license will be closed effective, 02/14/2024. LPA provided LS with copies of California Code of Regulations (CCR) 102383 and 102358 which respectively provides information on license exemptions and indicated that the provider may provide care for her own children and for the children of one family. This report was discussed and reviewed with LS. |
