Noy 9 Dear Ms. Curione: The purpose of this letter is to advise you of that the Department is imposing a $2300.00 administrative fine against you, and that your registration to operate a family day care home is being revoked because you have violated the provisions of Chapter 402, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 65C-20, Florida Administrative Code, as follows: a. You have been operating a registered family day care home at the 1476 Hempel Avenue address for several years. Your registration was most recently renewed on August 17, 2007. b. Subsequent to the renewal of your registration the Department learned that you were no longer residing at the registered address and had not been for approximately 2 years. This is based upon your own admission during a meeting with licensing officials on October 29, 2007. Therefore, the home does not qualify to operate as a registered home. c. During the October 26 inspection the Department discovered the home was essentially being operated as an unlicensed childcare facility. There were 25 pre-school aged children present and you had 4 unscreened employees there providing care for the 25 children. For this violation the Department is imposing a $2300.00 fine - $1900.00 for the 19 children for which you were over ratio and $400.00 for the 4 unscreened employees. The Department also learned that you had a total of 35 children enrolled at your registered family day care home/unlicensed child-care facility. 400 W.
