San Bernardino County licensed childcare centers must meet California Building Code Group E or I-4 occupancy rules with fire alarms, sprinklers, exit hardware, and accessible play areas. State Community Care Licensing inspects, while county Building and Safety verifies plan compliance.
Centers serving more than six children fall under stricter Group E or I-4 occupancy with fire alarms, sprinklered construction, and panic hardware. Family childcare homes with up to fourteen children remain residential under California Health and Safety Code section 1597.45 but must still meet smoke alarm, CO, and exit rules. SBC Building and Safety conducts plan checks for new centers, while California Community Care Licensing performs ongoing inspections. Outdoor play areas need shade and fall surfacing per state regulations.
License denial or revocation, stop-work orders, and certificate-of-occupancy refusals. Operating without proper occupancy classification is a misdemeanor and may trigger civil penalties.
