On 07/15/2024, during a Required – 3 Year annual inspection, Licensee was observed providing care to 24 children, 5 of which were infants. Licensee exceeded their total capacity by 10 children, and total number of infants a Family Child Care Home can have in care.

On 08/14/2024, the Department conducted an informal meeting with Licensee to address operating over capacity. During the informal meeting, Licensee was reminded that previous inspections have been conducted by the Department and Licensee was found to be over capacity. The Department also discussed capacity limitations with Licensee and discussed that although they have a license for a large capacity of 14 the limitations are that at least one child has to be enrolled in and attending kindergarten or elementary school and a second child is at least six years of age. In addition, no more than three infants are cared for during any time when more than 12 children are being cared for. Licensee agreed to stay in compliance by ensuring that they will not exceed their license capacity of 14.

The following deficiencies listed on the attached LIC 809D are being cited in accordance with California Code of Regulations Title 22. Deficiencies that are being cited need to be cleared to protect the children’s health & safety.

A copy of this report shall be provided to the parent/guardian of children currently enrolled by the next business day or immediately upon return. A copy of this report shall also be provided to the parent/guardian of any newly enrolled children for the next 12 months (1 year). The Acknowledgement form must be maintained in each child’s file immediately upon receipt from parent.

A copy of the LIC 9224 - Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Reports was provided during this visit.
