I've discussed my frequent outings with different analysts and not one has said anything about informing them. In fact, I asked my last analyst about this 3 years ago and at that time he told me that he would leave his card on the door and return on a later date.

If I know that I will not have kids, I have to inform my food program and I email the county at the same time. Some days it is a surprise... if I think they might be up because it is "that time of the year" I email. If I am light on kids like in the summer, I make sure I let them know.... usually a "hey XXXXX, just FYI right now my summer is light and Friday's are looking like I may only have two kidlets so we might be doing park days etc so if you decide to drop by then I might not be here. I just wanted to let you know." My inspector knows we go for walks in the mornings and if I don't answer the door.. she will usually wait around to see if I show back up. If I will not be home during a meal time I have to let the food program know. Now, I have had them show up on a day when I don't have any kidlets here and they have done a regular inspection. My childcare room is exclusively childcare. But, she didn't care about cleaner on counter etc. She did offer to come back another time. But, I really try to keep my inspector informed of what my schedule is like and when "best times" are. Like this winter Tuesday and Wednesday I had all three babies so I would send her an email saying that so she knew and could choose a different day that was easier to do. Oh and she knows not to come during naptime!!! Sacred at my house! She was here a couple of weeks ago on a Monday- I was actually being shadowed by a student that day and it worked out brilliantly!

Originally posted by Lovisa View PostI didn't know this. I wonder why my analyst never informed me of this rule? Also, during the summers, my days off change weekly depending on a few parents schedules. Surely, my analyst would get sick of me calling her every Monday . I'll have to call her and see what she says I should do.
So basically don't expect your analyst to make sure you know the rules.

Originally posted by thrivingchildcarecom View PostLike I said it really depends on the analyst (can you say annoying) as to what they ultimately do. I always thought I would just send them an email or fax if I needed to be closed for the day. See if they say that is acceptable.

Mine has shown up when I've been closed.
She's not done anything. If I am open and children are present then I have to let her in. If I'm closed (even on a day I'm normally open) I don't. Nor does my house have to be "day care ready" when children are not present.
I could email her when I'm closed but usually I don't think of it. She is aware I have mostly teacher kids so she's taking her chances showing up on a week when schools are closed.

I would put a Daycare Closed sign when children are not there.Then you can open the door or not.

I am curious why this is? Is it like this everywhere? (I'm in Ca by the way) I would assume that no children present means I can do whatever I want in my home......:confused:
I'm confused why licensing would get to dictate how my home is kept if I'm not working (I'm asking in general, not you specifically ).

I have had it happen twice. They do everything that they normally do with the exception of going over the things related directly to the children who are present .
For me I have to keep the house child proofed for the hours of care I am licensed for whether children are present or not .
Once I was painting in the basement and a mess when the knock on the door came. My licensing specialist was great about it . Did her visit and left .
