Licensing - My Nightmare

[MarinaVanessa]

Okay so for those of you waiting on hearing word about the outcome of my situation, we finally got some. For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about ... I had a child walk out of my daycare and licensing came to suspend and tried to revoke my license. I know, shocking. I wrote it in the private section for a variety of reasons and I wasn't allowed to talk about the details of the incident until I got a decision (It was court ordered).

So anyway, after 9 months of visits, interviews, attorney meetings, a two-day hearing and then like 6 months of waiting I finally received the answer from the administrative judge today. No revocation, just a year probation. happyface

They usually give 3-5 years probation so I must have made an impression at the hearing. As much as I would like to say that it's over, it's not. DSS licensing in Sacramento still has to review the decision and has 30 days to decide to stick with it, amend it, or completely toss it out.

Well, at least it's progress lovethishappyface

Thank you thank you thank you.

I hope I can open up again soon. I haven't run my daycare from home for 9 months and working out of the home is killing me. I can't wait for things to go back to normal again.

One of my previous clients lost her job and still isn't working so she won't be coming back. Another client moved away and my other client will have their child start school in the fall so I'll only have her for the summer (I don't do school age).

I do have someone with an infant interested starting in October (will be born in July) and someone with a 2 year old on my waiting list but other than than I'm starting all over again from 0 clients. Could be a good thing.

Glad you got some answers, and I hope that it is over with!

What a positive way to view it. I am so happy that this ordeal is FINALLY coming to a close for you and you can put this chapter behind you. Best of luck getting an awesome new group in!

Best of luck! I can only imagine what you've been going through. It's only by the grace of above that more of us haven't gone through this.

[CraftyMom]

SO glad to hear it is coming to an end!

A fresh start is a good thing!

Can I ask about the family of the child that walked out? Have they been in contact? At the beginning they were defending you (if I recall correctly) What is their take on this whole ordeal?

[NeedaVaca]

happyfacehappyface I have thought of you often and was hoping for a good ending! Stay positive!

[Kabob]

Goodness 9 months for them to give you some sort of answer...it's like you had a baby!

Hopefully this positive trend will snowball into more positive things for you. Keep up the good work! I admire your positive attitude. happyface

All the prayers we said worked, congratulations! I'm sorry it took so long though.

Congratulations and can't wait to see you on the board more often

Best wishes to you!:hug:happyface

I wasn't aware you were going through this. What a stressful time it must have been for you! You seem satisfied with the outcome; a year's probation is definitely better than 3-5 years! Hopefully DSS will agree with the judge and that year will go by quickly for you.

So happy to hear this news! happyface
What a horrible, stressful situation to endure. I'm glad they finally let you know what they decided upon and hope it sticks!
Wishing you all the best! :hug:

Yep, I was going to say the same thing, it could've happened to any one of us. Glad to hear it's almost over for you and you can get back to what your heart wants to do!!!
