Frequently Asked Questions
What is Current Child Roster?
This regulation requires family child care homes to maintain a current roster listing all children enrolled in care, as specified in California Health and Safety Code Section 1596.841. The roster must be kept up-to-date with accurate enrollment information and must be readily accessible for licensing inspections.
How common is this citation?
As of November 23, 2025, 32 facilities have been cited for this violation across 13 counties. This represents about 1 in 1,250 facilities statewide (0.42% of the 7,551 facilities inspected in the past 90 days). Los Angeles County had the most citations with 11, followed by San Diego (6), Riverside (2), Alameda (2), and San Bernardino (2).
What triggers this citation?
Inspectors cite this regulation when the child roster is not current (showing children who have left or missing children who recently enrolled), when required information fields are incomplete, when the roster cannot be quickly located during an inspection, or when the roster doesn't comply with Health and Safety Code Section 1596.841 requirements. Common triggers include failing to update the roster the same day children enroll or leave, keeping rosters in hard-to-find locations, or maintaining informal lists that lack required data fields.
How do I avoid this citation?
Create a simple system to update your roster immediately on the same day a child enrolls or leaves your program - make it part of your enrollment/departure checklist. Verify that your roster includes all information required by Health and Safety Code Section 1596.841 (child names, birth dates, enrollment dates, parent contact information). Keep your roster in a consistent, easily accessible location where you can quickly show it during inspections. Maintain both a digital copy (updated regularly) and a printed backup copy. Review your roster monthly to catch any discrepancies.
What should I do if I get cited?
Immediately update your roster to reflect all currently enrolled children and remove any children who have left your program. Verify that the roster includes all required information fields per Health and Safety Code Section 1596.841. Submit your plan of correction with your updated current roster and explain your system for keeping it current going forward (such as updating on enrollment/departure day). Create a monthly calendar reminder to review and verify your roster remains accurate. If you're unsure what information must be included, contact your licensing analyst for clarification.
