On March 25, 2022 at 10:00 AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Tanya Washington, Lea Habtom and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Roxana Saravia contacted Licensee, Lyudmila Khristuchenko for a scheduled informal meeting which is being conducted via Zoom Meetings. Also present during the informal meeting is Licensee's adult daughter Alina. LPM defined the difference between Non-Compliance and an Informal meeting. LPM advised that the purpose of today's meeting is to help provider gain compliance. The purpose of today's meeting is to discuss an attempted annual inspection which occurred on 03/02/2022. Licensee was present in the home providing care to children. Upon LPAs arrival, Licensee did not allow LPAs Washington and Habtom to inspect the facility stating it was nap time and due to COVID restrictions LPAs did not have the right to inspect her facility. Licensee also stated that LPAs will scare the children if they enter her home. After Licensing staff explained inspection authority to Licensee, she still denied entry to the home. During today's meeting Licensee stated that going forward she understands that licensing staff has the right to enter her facility anytime during her operating hours when children are present. Licensee understands that she will not receive advance notice regarding the inspection and shall comply with inspection authority. This report is being sent to Licensee Khristuchenko for review via e-mail on file. Licensee agrees to respond to the email once the report is received and reviewed.
