Type A(1)
Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision — … Based on confidential interviews and record review, C1 was left unsupervised on the playground during a transition inside. Parent arrived in classroom to pick up child and child was found on the playground with complete absence of supervision. This poses a potential risk to children in care.
Type B(3)
Teacher Qualifications and Duties — Based on interview and record review, the licensee did not comply with the section cited above in one of six staff files reviewed. Where S5 transcripts did not reflect six core ECE units. Which poses a potential health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.
Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision — … Based on confidential interviews and a review of records, it was confirmed that facility staff did not meet the child 1 (C1) individual needs, resulting in Child 2 (C2) sustaining a fracture. The facility failed to follow C1’s behavior plan, which required close supervision to prevent incidents like this from occurring. This lack of supervision poses a potential risk to the safety and well-being of children in care.
Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision — … Based on confidential interviews and record review, staff were not properly supervising C1 and did not redirect C1 from climbing on top of a plastic bin. This resulted in C1 falling and fracturing their arm, requiring medical attention.
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.
🔴 Serious concerns — any of:
- The license is on probation — CCLD requires the facility to comply with specific terms and conditions to prevent revocation of its license
- 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
🟡 Watch carefully — 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
🟢 Clean
Actively licensed, with no violations in your lookback window.
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 moves a facility to Serious concerns, matching CCLD's own grading directly.
