Type A(1)
Limitations on Capacity and Ambulatory Status — Based on observation and interview, the Center did not comply with the section cited above in that the Center had 27 children present today.

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.
Type B(3)
Child Care Center Director Qualifications and Duties — Based on observation and interview, the Center did not comply with the abovementioned section. The Center did not assign a person in charge or appoint a substitute childcare center Director when the Director was absent. Each of the teachers who were present upon LPA entrance to the Center confirmed that they were not assigned as a substitute director or in charge of the Center, which poses a potential health and safety risk to 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.
Drinking water lead testing — Based on the interview and record review, the licensee did not comply with the above-referenced section. Water fixtures were not tested for lead after the due date of January 1, 2023, which poses a potential health, safety, or personal rights risk to persons 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.
