LPA explained to applicant that if they relocate and wants to continue to provide care, they must submit a change of location application and have the new home inspected. Applicant understands that if they want to make any off-limit area an on-limits area, licensing must be notified and LPA must do an inspection before children are allowed in the area. Applicant understand that licenses are not transferable, and once licensed, licensee must live in the home and be present for 80% of the operating hours. If applicant chooses to not operate the childcare anymore, licensing must be notified in writing.

Applicant was reminded that all adults 18 and over living in the home, persons who provide care and supervision to children, and staff who have contact with children, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5-days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30-days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

The applicant has not obtained a signed Property Owner/Landlord Consent form (LIC9149). Without this consent, the applicant understands that, once licensed, they can operate with a maximum capacity of 6 children. If property owner/landlord consent is obtained in the future, the applicant is advised that a new Application for a Family Child Care Home License (LIC 279) must be submitted with a change of capacity fee of $25, to increase the capacity and provide care to 8 children.
