25 | On February 26, 2025, Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Kari McWilliams and Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Yesenia Fierro conducted an unannounced case management. LPM McWilliams and LPA Fierro met with Licensee, Angelica Valenzuela and explained the reason of the inspection. A tour of the home was conducted, and census were taken.
The purpose of today’s visit is to address that on December 19, 2024, Co-Licensee Thomas Valenzuela called the Officer of the Day to report an unusual incident. Co-Licensee reported to the Officer of the Day that he was “at work” and not in the family childcare home when the unusual incident occurred.
Through LPA interviews conducted with Co-Licensee Thomas Valenzuela and Licensee Angelica Valenzuela, it was confirmed that Co-Licensee has an outside job and does not provide care for children.
Licensee was reminded that the daycare license is under her and her spouse Thomas Valenzuela names and are therefore considered the primary providers and should be the ones providing care and supervision to the children enrolled in her family childcare home. Furthermore, Licensee was reminded that her spouse/Co-Licensee should be present in the home 80% of the time that the facility is providing care per day. Licensee stated she would like to remove her spouse from the license.
Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, of the California Code of Regulations, the following deficiency is being cited: (see next page, 809 D). Licensee Angelica Valenzuela was provided a copy of their appeal rights.
