How to read violations

Nearly every licensed provider accumulates some. A missing signature and an unlocked medicine cabinet are both “violations”, and they are not the same thing. Look at the class, the pattern over time and how quickly it was corrected — not the count alone.

Paperwork — records, postings, forms Standard — supervision, ratio, training Health & safety — direct risk to a child

Class is our grouping of the state’s own weights, reviewed per state. The agency’s own label is always shown beside it.

CCR 101229(a) — (a) The licensee shall provide care and supervision as necessary to meet the children's needs.

“based on observation, interviews, and records review, Staff #1 did not ensure children were at a safe distance prior to closing the door on a child's finger causing a severe injury. Staff also did not secure the door closed after the incident, allowing children to exit to the playground without a teacher present which poses an immediate health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.”
