Type A(3)
Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision — Based on the record review and interviews conducted, it was confirmed that C1 was left unsupervised in the playground for seven minutes without adult supervision. This poses an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care.
The date by which the licensee must file CCLD's Proof of Correction form, certifying under penalty of perjury that the deficiency was corrected on or before that date. Filing it does not prevent CCLD from making a follow-up visit to verify.
Personal Rights — Based on record review and interviews conducted, it was confirmed that Staff #2 (S2) violated Child #1 (C1)’s Personal Rights by causing physical pain, intimidated, and threat C1. This poses an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care.
The date by which the licensee must file CCLD's Proof of Correction form, certifying under penalty of perjury that the deficiency was corrected on or before that date. Filing it does not prevent CCLD from making a follow-up visit to verify.
Personal Rights — Based on record review and interviews conducted, C1 started having fever at 8:20 AM at 100.9, at 12:30 PM, C1’s fever was 102.4 and by 1:15 PM, C1 fever was at 103.2. During the interviews, staff were not aware of the protocol if a child involved is extremely ill and if the child’s parent is not able to be reached. Staff were also not able to identify the next appropriate protocol to take. This poses an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care.

Type B(2)
Personal Rights — Based on the record review and interviews conducted, it was determined that staff failed to ensure that C1’s personal rights were protected by not ensuring C1’s safety. C1 should not have been allowed to climb up from the bottom of the slide, which resulted in C1 losing balance, falling, and sustaining an injury. This failure poses a potential risk to the health, safety, and personal rights of children in care.

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.
