California Code § 102425(c): Infant Sleep Plans
What Is California Code § 102425(c): Infant Sleep Plans?
California Code § 102425(c)
An Individual Infant Sleeping Plan [LIC 9227 (3/20)] shall be completed for each infant up to 12 months of age the provider has in care and included in the infant's file at the facility.
💡Insider's Tips
Inspectors pull infant files first during unannounced visits. They'll count the babies in the room, then check for a matching LIC 9227 for each one. If you enrolled a new infant last week and haven't completed the form yet, that's a citation on the spot. Fill out the sleep plan during your intake meeting with parents, before the child's first day. Inspectors also look for plans that actually reflect the individual child, not a generic copy-paste. If three babies all have identical sleep plans, expect questions.

How to Avoid Infant Sleep Plans Citations
✓ Prevention Checklist
❌ Common Mistakes
- Using one generic safe sleep policy instead of individual LIC 9227 forms for each infant. Providers assume a posted safe sleep policy covers the requirement, but CCLD wants a completed form per child in each infant's file.
- Completing the sleep plan after the infant starts care instead of before. Licensing looks at enrollment dates versus form dates, and a gap between them gets documented as a deficiency.
- Forgetting to update sleep plans when infants hit developmental milestones. A plan written at 3 months that still says 'no rolling' for a 10-month-old shows the provider isn't maintaining records.
- Not including parent-specific preferences on the form. Leaving sections blank or writing 'N/A' signals to inspectors that you didn't actually consult with the family.
