Children interviews revealed there were about 9-10 children present in the morning, but then a handful get taken to school so less kids stay at the family childcare home. Most guardians reported they don\342\200\231t enter the home so they can\342\200\231t definitively say how many children are present in the day care. One guardian reported the licensee told them they had 16 children enrolled in the morning shift and 16 children enrolled in the evening shift. Another guardian reported she had seen about 10 children there at one time. Evidence shows for the month of March, there was one day ( 03/07/25) there was 15 children in care between 05:00AM- 02:00PM. And in the month of April there were three days ( 04/07, 04/10, 04/11) 15 children were in care between 05:00AM- 02:00PM. Licensee also has their own child under 10 years old which counts in the total number of children when they are present in the home. Licensee reported April 7th- April 14th was spring break that is why they were over their capacity and they were not counting their own child under 10. But it has not happened since then and will not happen again as she has been keeping a schedule with the children and the hours they come to the day care. Therefore, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met and the above allegation is found to be substantiated. The California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 & Chapter 3, section 102416.5(a) is being cited on attached LIC 9099D . This report was reviewed with the Licensee and an exit interview was conducted. A copy was provided and Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 days. Appeal Rights were provided.
