25 | An Informal Conference was held at the Palmdale Child Care Regional Office on January 21, 2025 at 12:30pm. Present during the informal conference were: Regional Manager (RM) George Mingle, Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Lady King-Lewis, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kendal Zirbes, Licensee Saleena Smith, Administrator Liliana Velasquez, Amy Miranda.
The following concerns were discussed:
1. Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision
During this meeting, the Licensee and facility representative disclosed the following measures have already been taken to ensure compliance:
1. Hiring of additional staff members
2. Purchased Walkie Talkies to assist in staff communication.
3. Monthly staff training through CCEI
During the conference, RM Mingle and LPM King Lewis reminded facility representatives of the importance for regulatory compliance in licensed facilities to protect the Health and Safety of children in care. Facility representatives were informed the Community Care Licensing Agency takes these violations seriously, and how continued repeat violations can lead to further administrative actions by the Department including Non-compliance conference and/or up to revocation of licensure.
RM Mingle introduced the Childcare Technical Support Program (TSP) and informed the facility representatives that TSP is a voluntarily program to assist facilities with meeting and maintaining the requirements of operating a licensed childcare facility. Licensee expressed an interest in TSP services, therefore LPA will refer the Center for services.
