25 | On 08/29/23 Licensee, Arthur Martinez (L1) called the Child Care desk duty officer, leaving a message stating that he is closing his home daycare, last day of care to be 08/31/23. Today, 09/07/23, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Amy Strother made an unannounced visit to the facility to confirm closure.
At 10:30am LPA Strother met with Arthur Martinez in the home to confirm the facility closure. There were no children present during today’s visit and no evidence of care was being provided. Martinez stated he understands that providing unlicensed childcare is a violation of California Health and Safety Code Sections 1596.80 and 1597.54.
Martinez stated that he understands that effective, 09/01/23 he is no longer licensed and can no longer provide licensed care to children in his home. If Martinez wishes to provide licensed care in the future, he will need to reapply. A copy of this report was reviewed with Martinez.
LPA Strother will process the closure with the effective closure date of September 1, 2023 and send Martinez a letter to confirm the closure to the address on file.
