What Is California Code § 102419(d)(1): Parent Rights Acknowledgment?

California Code § 102419(d)(1)

The licensee shall request the child's parent or authorized representative to sign and date the bottom portion of the notice form LIC 995A (8/06), which acknowledges that the parent or authorized representative has received and read the LIC 995A. The bottom portion of this form must be kept in the child’s file as proof that the parent or authorized representative has been notified of his or her rights and received a copy of the Caregiver background Check Process, LIC 995E (6/05), and the Family Child Care Consumer Awareness Information, LIC 9212 (10/05).

Why This Matters

Keep a thermometer in each room and check it daily. Remember that children's activity level affects how temperature feels - they might need it cooler during active play time and warmer during quiet time.

How to Avoid Parent Rights Acknowledgment Citations

✓ Prevention Checklist

Maintain room temperature between 68-82°F in areas used by children
Monitor temperature regularly using reliable thermometers
Adjust heating and cooling systems to maintain proper temperature
Ensure adequate ventilation while maintaining temperature control
Document temperature readings if required by licensing

❌ Common Mistakes

I see this citation when rooms are too cold in winter or too hot in summer, or when providers don't have working thermometers to monitor temperature. Children's comfort matters - they can't learn and play when they're too hot or cold.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Parent Rights Acknowledgment?

California regulation 102419(d)(1) requires you to provide parents with specific licensing forms at admission, including LIC 995A (Parent Rights), LIC 995E (Caregiver Background Check Process), and LIC 9212 (Consumer Awareness Information). Parents must sign acknowledging they received and read these forms, and you must keep the signed acknowledgment in the child's file as proof of notification.

How common is this citation?

As of November 23, 2025, 23 facilities have been cited for parent rights acknowledgment violations in the past 90 days. This affects approximately 1 in 328 facilities inspected (0.30% of 7,551 facilities visited). Citations occurred across 10 counties, with San Diego County having the most violations (7 citations), followed by San Bernardino (4), and Los Angeles (3).

What triggers this citation?

Inspectors cite this when children's files are missing the signed parent acknowledgment form, when parents received outdated versions of licensing forms, when acknowledgments are unsigned or undated, or when any of the three required forms (LIC 995A, 995E, or 9212) wasn't provided. This commonly happens with new enrollments where admission paperwork was rushed, or older files where requirements have changed. Inspectors check every child's file, so even one missing acknowledgment triggers a citation.

How do I avoid this citation?

Create an admission checklist that includes all three required forms with current revision dates. Download the latest versions from the California Department of Social Services website regularly. Have parents sign and date the acknowledgment section during enrollment before the child's first day. Make it part of your standard enrollment packet that can't be skipped. Keep the signed bottom portion of LIC 995A in each child's file and give parents the top portion with their copies of 995E and 9212. Audit your existing files quarterly to catch any missing acknowledgments.

What should I do if I get cited?

Immediately contact parents of children with missing acknowledgments to have them sign the current forms. For families you can't reach easily, send the forms home with children and require they be returned within one week. Update your admission procedures to make parent acknowledgment mandatory before first attendance. Submit your Plan of Correction with documentation showing all current children's files now contain proper acknowledgments and your revised admission checklist. Implement a file audit system to catch missing paperwork before inspections.
