CCLD'S website is available for those seeking licensed childcare. Licensed Providers' information is available that includes inspection notices, Type A & B violations. Type A include violations that a provider is often fined for. Type B could be a form missing from a file, a closure not function properly and anything the analyst's attention is drawn to. Analysts are required to follow regulations as they interpret situations. The interpretations can be skewed by a personal bias.
LC has had A & B Violations. All have be cleared but the information remains for 3 years at least. Files were corrected, Immunization verifications ware provided. Staff members were discharged. CCLD does not provide space for providers to comment. The allocation of a child left unsupervised was made by an analyst during covid who was not an analyst for childcare but adult care. The unsupervised child was in a quiet room to participate in online classes during covid shutdown. She was 8 years old. She also was given a quiet space in the playroom so she could unwind while the younger children were outside. Her parent was aware of the arrangements and she was monitored in both spaces. Violations are wake ups and draw our attention to something that needs attention, more training or a resolve. Some violations are fined. Google CCLD for Little Crumbles' reports by entering the license number.
The incident on December 18,2025 received significant Social Media chatter. Misinformation was everywhere as posters reposted. The local newspaper Alameda Post published an inaccurate account. One our children wandered away during an incident where a neighbor brought over her out of control puppy for the children to see and pet while staff were with the children in our driveway. The neighbor was told to stay back but came. The child who wandered was holding onto the leg of the staff as he daily did. He let go as children were going back into the gated yard. The child went to the stroller area to buckle the straps as he did daily when staff and children were in the front yard. In the confucion staff did not notice he moved away to do his self assigned task. He wandered to the sidewalk where he was seen by the Good Samaritan. He was not missed as the staff had just gone in the gated yard. Staff responded to Good Samaitan at the gate, thanked him and apologized. Parent was called immediately with information that was assumed accurate. Police and licensing report were filed. It was a 3 minute incident, in no way is LC attempting to marginalized this. As owner and staff we are grateful no harm came to the child. New procedures have been established, on site training especially as to what to do during chaotic and confusing situations that may cause a moment of distraction. Full disclosure has been given to all clients via the licensing investigation report and will continue to be given to new clients for the following 12 months. Please if you have questions, ask them.
