How we rate this daycareCalifornia CCLD records›

California pre-grades every violation itself: Type A means an immediate risk to a child's health, safety, or personal rights; Type B means a violation that, if not corrected, could become that same immediate risk. We never escalate above the state's own grade.

🟢 No recent citation

Actively licensed, with no violations in your lookback window.

🟡 Citation — any of:

  • A Type B violation is on record — CCLD's own lesser-risk grade, meaning a violation that, if not corrected, could become an immediate risk to a child's health, safety, or personal rights

🔴 Serious citation — any of:

  • A Type A violation is on record — CCLD's own most serious grade, meaning an immediate risk to a child's health, safety, or personal rights

⚫ Adverse license status — any of:

  • The license is on probation — CCLD requires the facility to comply with specific terms and conditions to prevent revocation of its license

⚪ Not rated by the record

  • Inactive license: The license is not in active standing.
  • No visits on record: Actively licensed, but CCLD has published no visit report for this facility.

Worth knowing: California's public records don't always say whether a specific violation was later fixed, so we don't discount a Type A's severity by guessing at correction status — CCLD's own definition notes a Type A citation "will always be issued, even if the violation is corrected on the spot." A single Type A marks a facility Serious citation, matching CCLD's own grading directly.
