Proposal for Childcare Permit
I am interested in establishing a family in-home childcare within my home located at 4175 S Leaning
Tower Ave, where I will care for more than 6 children or 12 children max. As a requirement of the city of
Meridian and because I do not wish inconvenience for the city or my neighbors, I held a meeting with
close neighbors. Although I will determine my own program services, hours, parent fees, etc, most
programs operate weekdays from 6:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Since parents' work schedules differ, children
will usually arrive over a period of two or more hours in the morning and leave during a similar period in
the late afternoon. I personally provide transportation to the kids and even take them to school myself.
This reduces the number of vehicles likely to stop at the home at one time parking on the street and also
prevent extra noise as do siblings arriving together.
While children are in my care, I will be responsible for their supervision at all times, including indoor
activities, outdoor play, and on walks or vehicle trips away from my home. I anticipate outdoor play time
to be limited to one hour after 9 am and one hour after 1 pm, and noise will be kept below the
maximum stipulated by Meridian officials. I do not have any employees,for now. If I do eventually hire
an employee, I would not increase the number of children in my care beyond the maximum described
above.
My proposed childcare will be subject to regular inspections through the Central District Health (CDH). I
have participated and will continue to participate in regular IdahoSTARS-approved training regarding
health, safety/emergency planning, childcare best practices, and child development. I am CPR and
pediatric first aid certified, and will renew this certification annually.
The next steps towards opening a childcare center in my home will be approval from Meridian Planning
Department,then scheduling an inspection with CDH. In the case that Meridian and CDH approve me
for in-home family childcare, I intend to seek clients immediately thereafter via personal networking.
Thank you for your review of my childcare proposal. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely yours,
Godelieve Mulonge
