A subsequent complaint investigation inspection was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst Jennifer Velasco (LPA), who met with Licensee Stacy Finke (L1). It has been alleged L1 does not live at the facility as required for licensure as a Family Child Care Home; specifically, that L1 resides at one or more offsite locations. L1 stated that due to the Covid 19 pandemic she has been staying elsewhere but has now returned to residing in the facility. Today, there were nine children in care with L1 and an assistant (S2). During the investigation, LPA toured and photographed the facility, conducted witness interviews, and requested, obtained, and reviewed pertinent documents and photographic evidence. Based on interviews, facility documents, LPA observations, and photographic evidence, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. The following violation of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22; Division 6, was observed: see LIC 9099-D. This report was reviewed and discussed with L1. Appeal Rights were provided, and exit interview was conducted. All licensing reports are public information and must be made available upon request for at least three years. L1 was provided with a Notice of Site Visit (NOS) to be posted in the facility for 30 days.
