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.
