On August 23, 2022, Fresno Child Care Regional office met with licensee, First Church of God of Fresno. Attendees were Regional Manager (RM) Rebecca Varela, Licensing Program Managers (LPM) Michael Duarte and Juvenal Moctezuma and Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cynthia Brannon. Representatives of licensee attended were Director Lisa Antaramian, Board Chair Rick Ransom, Board/Secretary Matt Phanco, Vice Chair School Board Joyce Hale, Chair School Board Pam Wirth, and Senior Greg Kendall.

The purpose of today’s office meeting is to review expectations of the licensee and application process. When a pre-licensing inspection is scheduled with licensee, it is with the understanding that the licensee has the intended licensed areas to be Title 22 compliance. Upon receipt of the application, there should not be any changes made by the applicant. This includes capacity changes, rooms to be licensed for a specific program and fire clearance is granted.

The application received on or there about of 11/25/19. The COVID epidemic did not stop the Regional office from conducting pre-licensing inspections. It is the Department’s goal to complete licensure within 90 days. The delays include a fire clearance denial dated 11/30/21, another fire clearance stating that not all rooms were ready for a fire clearance. A fire clearance was granted on 7/19/22 for 26 infants, 51 preschool children and 24 school age children. On 8/9/22, the final prelicensing inspection was conducted. Licensure was granted if licensee would correct items

During the preschool inspection, the following was observed:

1) The kitchen is accessible to children. The door leading into the kitchen is required to have a locking mechanism to ensure children do not have access to knives, sharp objects, etc. that are potentially harmful to children.

3) Some of the florescent light covers are missing or broken. Florescent light must have protective covers to provide a strong barrier to prevent light bulbs from shattering and the glass falling onto preschool children in care.

These items are a potential risk to children in care.

During the school age inspection, the following was observed:
1) There were no cubbies for the 24 school age children. Per director, each classroom has bookshelves. They were supposed to be empty but licensee, First Church of God Early Enrichment Center, placed books and other items in areas that were designated for children's cubbies.
