25 | An office meeting was held in the San Diego North Child Care Office. Present during this office meeting were Licensing Program Manager, Renesha Askew, Licensing Program Analyst, Victoria Hernandez, and Applicants, Guerline and spouse Manissarde Etienne. Meeting was translated in Haitian Creole, via telephone by Focus Language International, Inc., (Operator #83995227) The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the pending application received on 3/11/2024 and corrections needed to make application complete as well as Mr. Manissarde Etienne’s demeanor and interactions during his recent visits to the Regional Office.
Updated application form, LIC 279, was received on 07/19/2024 which changed the request from a small license to a large, and added a co-licensee, Mr. Etienne. Applicant states she does not want her spouse as co-licensee and would provide an updated application. Department advised that there was an error when application was processed at receipt. Her application will be corrected to reflect her request for a large license. Was advised of the difference in fee of $34 that will be needed as she was originally charged $36 instead of the $70 required. Applicants state their understanding of the need to be patient during this process.
Also, during this meeting LPM discussed Mr. Etienne’s inappropriate conduct during his office visits on 7/22/24 & 7/26/24 and the need for all of us to foster a good working relationship with each other at all times by ensuring a professional tone and demeanor by Applicants, Residents, as well as the Department. Applicant apologized for spouse behavior and spouse took responsibility for his actions.
Licensee was also provided with the CDSS Child Care Licensing (CCL) Family Child Care Providers Resource link with instructional videos: https://ccld.childcarevideos.org/family-child-care-providers/. It is recommended for Applicants to review the videos including, but not limited to: “Is Family Child Care the Right Business for Me?”, “Background Check Requirements for Caregivers”, “Your Rights as a Child Care Licensee”, “How to Apply for a Family Child Care License”, and “Community Care Licensing Inspection Authority”.
