The full public record
California CCLD licensing visits since 2021 (inspections, complaint investigations and follow-ups), updated daily. Citations are matched to the latest visit on or before their correction due date, because the state download does not link them; Type A (immediate risk) and Type B totals are shown per visit kind.
Citations by visit kind (state totals)

|---|---|---|---|
| Licensing inspections | 5 | 0 | 0 |
| Complaint investigations | 1 | 0 | 1 |

Type A: an immediate risk to children’s health, safety or rights. Type B: a potential risk if not corrected. California publishes these as totals, not per citation.
