Next Page >>> Parents make very important decisions in looking for and selecting a child care site for their child(ren). The following information is intended to help parents understand the choices they have to make within a very complicated system. Our Guide to Choosing Child Care Includes:
The majority of child care centers and family child care homes are licensed by the California Department of Social Services (DSS) Community Care Licensing (CCL) to ensure that minimum health and safety standards are met. Licensing requirements cover admission policies, daily practices and procedures, emergency plans, facility design and structure, indoor and outdoor space, equipment, nutrition, background clearances, staff qualifications, and adult-staff ratios. Child care centers are inspected by CCL annually, while family child care homes are inspected prior to being licensed and once every three years thereafter. It is recommended that parents check the licensing history of the provider
they select before placing their child in care by making an appointment
to review the provider's record at Community Care Licensing, 7575 Metropolitan
Dr. #110, San Diego, 92108. Call (619.767.2200) to make an appointment.
