Who licenses child care in California?
California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division licenses and inspects child care centers, preschools and home daycares in California. This directory uses the agency's public register: Child Care Centers and Family Child Care Homes data downloads, CCLD Transparency site. It was last synced in September 2026.
Does California publish inspection violations?
Yes. California cites a Type A violation for an immediate risk to the health or safety of children, and a Type B violation for a record-keeping or maintenance item. The state file gives counts, dates and regulation numbers, not the inspector's notes. Every program profile shows them as the state recorded them.
