On September 17, 2024, at 11:30 AM Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Renesha Askew and Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Adriana Macias conducted an Office Meeting with Licensee Caroline Cherestal, Spouse/Applicant Pierre Louis Julien (376102149) and friend/translator Marie Cherilien. LPA Veronica Torres Gonzalez also assisted with translation in Spanish. The purpose of the meeting is to review and discuss Health and Safety Code and Title 22 Regulations prior to licensure to ensure their understanding and compliance in response to the contradictory responses that both have provided to the Department regarding cohabitation and living arrangements.

102352(l) Definitions: (2) "Licensee" means an adult licensed to operate a Family Day Care Home and who is primarily involved in providing care for the children during the hours that the home provides care.

102417 Operation of a Family Child Care Home: (a) “The licensee shall be present in the home and shall ensure that children in care are supervised at all times. When circumstances require the licensee to be temporarily absent from the home, the licensee shall arrange for a substitute adult to care for and supervise the children during his/her absence. Temporary absences shall not exceed 20 percent of the hours that the facility is providing care per day.”

102391 Inspection Authority: (a) Any duly authorized officer, employee, or agent of the Department shall, upon presentation of proper identification, enter and inspect any place providing personal care, supervision, and services at any time, with or without advance notice, to secure compliance with, or to prevent a violation of, the regulations adopted by the Department governing family child care homes, and in accordance with Section 102396.

(c) “Small family daycare home” means a facility that provides care, protection, and supervision for eight or fewer children, including children under 10 years of age who reside at the home…

(d) … A small family daycare home or large family daycare home is where the daycare provider resides, and includes a dwelling or a dwelling unit that is rented, leased, or owned.

Department provided and reviewed all of the above references with the applicant and licensee during today’s meeting.



Licensee and Applicant state their understanding of the above as well as their need to abide by Health and Safety Code and Title 22 Regulations in the operation of their Family Child Care Homes, if licensed.
