On this date, 10/26/23, the California Attorney General - Megan’s Law website (meganslaw.ca.gov) was searched for information on sex offenders required to register with local law enforcement under California's Megan's Law. No registered sex offenders were found at the facility addresses. Under state law, some registered sex offenders are not subject to public disclosure; therefore, they may not have been included in this search. However, the Department conducts a monthly cross reference of each address on record for all registered sex offenders against all CCLD facility addresses pursuant to information shared by California DOJ.

Capacity and limitations as specified on the license are being maintained. Children are under supervision, including visual supervision, of a teacher at all times. At least one person trained in Pediatric CPR and First Aid is present when children are at the facility. The person who signs the child in and out of the facility shall use their full legal signature and record the time of day. LPA reviewed a sample of children’s files and observed files were complete with contact information for authorized representative and or relatives or others who can assume responsibility for the child and medical assessment. LPA reviewed a sample of staff files and observed files were incomplete. AB1207 Mandated Reporter training certification for Staff #1 (S1) (See Confidential Names) was not available for review during time of inspection.
