complaint·October 2, 2023

On October 2nd, 2023, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Soleil Marx and Kyrsten William conducted a complaint investigation of the home of Applicant, Renee Hanawalt. The allegation is that unlicensed care is being provided. Upon entry of the home LPAs observed 12 day care children in care with applicant and her adult daughter/assitant. A visitor had their 3 children at the facility as well. Applicant currently has a pending Change of Location application for a Large Family Child Care License. Applicant previously had a Large Family Child Care License addressed at: 2073 Stonebriar Drive, El Dorado Hills CA, 95762 (license#93622615). Applicant stated that she has provided care at 8092 Damico Drive, El Dorado Hills CA 95762 since 09/26/23. The home of the applicant does not currently fit within guidelines that would allow a Family Child Care Home to be exempt from licensure under Title 22 Regulation 102358. Based on LPAs observations and interviews which were conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation of Unlicensed Care is found to be Substantiated. Health and Safety Code Violation cited on attached LIC9099-D. Exit interview conducted and report reviewed with Applicant, Renee Hanawalt. Appeal Rights provided.
