Child's Records — Based on a file review for child C1 performed on 10/21/25, the facility was unable to provide the LPA with child C1's record during the initial investigation visit. The center director, Anais Heim stated that she was unable to locate the contents of C1's file and that no other records were available for review at the time. This poses a potential risk to persons in care.
Reporting Requirements — Based on an interview with the acting center director, Anais Heim on 4/11/25, it was corroborated that the facility's former center director, Melissa Terhune is no longer employed by this facility effective 03/14/25. The Department has not been notified of this change. This poses a potential risk to persons in care.
Napping Equipment — Based on the LPA's observations on 08/05/24 at 02:15pm, the LPA observed that at least 15 napping preschool children did not have a sheet to cover their cot during nap time. The assistant director, Anais Heim informed the LPA that sheets are available for every napping child at the center, however, staff are not using the sheets on all cots during nap time. This poses a potential health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.
Staff immunization requirements — Based on a file review performed by the LPA on 08/05/24, the LPA observed that staff S3, S4, and S6 did not have an immunization log in their personnel file showing that he or she has been immunized against pertussis and/or measles. This poses a potential health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.
Personnel Requirements — Based on a file review performed by the LPA on 08/05/24, the LPA observed that staff S3 and S6 did not posess an LIC503 "Health Screening Report" in their personnel file. This poses a potential health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.
Personal Rights — Based on interviews conducted and documents obtained, it was corroborated that staff S2 roughly handled child C1 as C1 attempted to sit up in their cot during nap time. This posed a health, safety and personal rights risk to the 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.
🔴 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.
