Inspection history

From December 13, 2021 to August 20, 2026

  • 3 inspections
  • 2 complaint visits
  • 6 other visits
  • 2 Type A citations, 2 Type B citations in all
  • 2 complaint investigations completed. Allegations: 1 substantiated, 1 unsubstantiated

Type A citations are for the most serious violations, where CDSS finds an immediate risk to the health, safety or personal rights of children in care; they are issued even if the problem is fixed on the spot. Type B citations are for violations that could become an immediate risk if not corrected. An inspection checks compliance with the law and the licensing rules. A complaint visit is part of investigating a complaint. "Other visits" are visits the state doesn't list as either an inspection or a complaint visit.

A citation means a licensing analyst found that a licensing rule wasn't being met at the time of the visit. CDSS notes that some citations may be under appeal or already corrected. Read the official record for details.

Complaint investigations

For each completed complaint investigation, the number of allegations CDSS found substantiated (the evidence showed the violation happened) or unsubstantiated (there wasn't enough evidence to show it happened), and the citations issued. The state's data file leaves out allegations CDSS found unfounded (false, or with no reasonable basis), so these counts may not include every allegation made.

  1. May 20, 2025 · Investigation completed

    1 allegation: 0 substantiated, 1 unsubstantiated. No citations.

  2. December 16, 2022 · Investigation completed

    1 allegation: 1 substantiated, 0 unsubstantiated. No citations.

Code sections cited

Each section of California's child care laws (Health and Safety Code) and licensing rules (Title 22 regulations) the state's data file lists as cited for this program, with the plan of correction date listed with it. The file doesn't say which visit each one came from or what it was about; the reports on the official record do. A section number can appear more than once.
