California Licensing Question

[Unregistered]

For those of you living in Los Angeles, CA. How long after you submitted your family childcare forms, did you get the confirmation letter with your facility number?

I got my facility # in about 2 weeks.

Thank You. How long was it before they came to inspect you(fire and/or licensing)?

I think it took about 3 weeks for me. I then had my first unannounced inspection 11mo later....but you can definately expect your first unannounced inspection anytime 6 months after getting licensed.

Good luck !!

Are you talking about your prelicensing inspection? Mine took about 3 mos with me calling the analyst weekly until he gave up and came out. Once he came out, he signed my license the next day and e-mailed it to me.

Im also in CA and I just think that it all depends on the county. Here where I am the county is backed up and short staffed, so its taking a really long time to get things going. I have a friend down in newport beach and it took them only about a month from the time she submitted everything.

Mine was within 3-5 days...my analysis found me it was kinda funny to be honest

Mine took for.ev.er. But that was in the middle of all that budget nonsense, too. Then, all of a sudden, I get a call and it was like, we need to hurry up and get this done! Gotta love working with government agencies.
