Type B(6)
Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision — Based on interviews conducted with A1 and D1, adequate supervision was not provided to children, resulting in child (C1) sustaining unexplained injuries 02/20/25. Based on interviews with staff S1 and S2 there have been occasions when they were occupied changing a child’s diaper and were unable to physically aide the remaining children. One staff reported that while changing a diaper, the other staff in the room did not intervene when one child was on another child and a bite occurred, which poses a potential health, safety and/or personal rights risk(s) to children in care.
Outdoor Activity Space — Based on observations The lower stairs of the climber no longer have the protective coating, covering the metal surface, as manufactured. Metal that has rusted is exposed. This same issue was observed on the upper stairs of the same climber, was well as rough areas at the top of the spiral slide, which poses a potential health, safety and/or personal rights risk(s) to children in care.
101216.3 Teacher-Child Ratio (a) There shall be a ratio of one teacher visually observing and supervising no more than 12 children in attendance, except as specified in (b) and (c) below. The requirement has not been met as evidenced by: Based on LPA observation at 10:10am the 2's classroom had 13 children in attendance with one teacher. LPA brought the ratio to the Director's attention who confirmed that there were 13 children in the classroom.
Personal Rights — Based on interviews conducted S1 and S3 admitted that they have yelled at day care child(ren) in care on more than one occasion, which poses a potential personal rights risk to the children in care.
Teacher Qualifications and Duties — Based on LPA’s observation and review of transcripts on 11/16/23, Staff 5 (S5) had 6 units in ECE on file (an aide) and was providing care and supervision to a group of 12 children in the “pre-kindergarten” room without a teacher or fully qualified teacher present, which poses a potential Health and Safety risk to children in care.
Teacher-Child Ratio — Based on multiple staff interviews, staff stated that the “Two’s” classroom has operated out of ratio with 16-20 children present with a teacher and an aid that does not have ECE units on more than one occasion, which poses a potential Health and Safety risk to 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.
