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.
