Good day. I have specific question and situation please give me some advice. We have Small Family Day Care license in CA LA County since March 13 2017, no any complaints during operation period, children are happy, parents happy as well. We had 5 kids + 1 our 6-month-old baby during last year. We applied for Large Family Care license in March 2018 and for some reasons this process takes now already almost 4 month and it is still in process, somebody from department ether on a vacation, ether some issue with Fire Clearance inspector, or they had wrong our home phone number in file, nobody could reach us, etc. As a result - Crazy delay and we are lousing income and customers. Same time we have few other kids waiting since June to get in to Day Care, also we lost already some customers, and it is so sad. We passed Fire Clearance few days ago and waiting for a Department Inspector to inspect the facility and issue a license for 12 kids + 2, we also hire a woman with experience and she is working already. For some reasons in the begin of June we took 2 more kids in day care, because parents had no choice to put them in other day care and we also tired to deny service to the people. So today we have 7 kids in Small Family Day Care, (and yes I know this is bad and this is violation) we passed fire clearance and waiting for inspection day after day, we know for sure our facility is safe and stuff is great and we not going to have any issues to get a Large Family Care license, but reality is we are violating the rules today and excess quantity of kids normally allowed for our facility. The worth thing is from August 1st we have few more kids waiting to get in to Day Care, we though we will get license for sure before this date, but now i am in doubts. Can you give me some advice, what to do in this situation? Should we remove 2 kids somehow once inspector will arrive and show only 5 kids + 1 our baby to be fine? Can inspector reject a license and close facility if will discover that we exceed quantity of kids? Can we ask some of our friends to be in facility independently and take care about those 2 kids separate like they were invited temporary? Please any information will be helpful because I am very afraid to louse a license and make Inspector mad when they will see I have 7 kids instead of 5.
I do not know what to do.
Thank you.
