Home daycares in Sanger are regulated by California Community Care Licensing. Small family daycares (up to 8 children) operate by right in residential zones under H&S Code 1597.45.
California Health and Safety Code Section 1597.45 declares that small family day care homes serving up to 8 children are a residential use and must be permitted in all residential zones without a conditional use permit, zoning variance, or business license. Sanger cannot prohibit or impose additional conditions on licensed small family day care homes beyond state requirements. Large family day care homes serving 9-14 children require a large family day care home permit from the city, which may include conditions related to parking, fencing, and outdoor play space. California Community Care Licensing (Title 22, Division 12) establishes comprehensive standards for caregiver-to-child ratios, health and safety, physical environment, and program requirements. Licensed providers must pass background checks, maintain first aid and CPR certification, and carry liability insurance. Fire clearance from the local fire authority is required. In Sanger, the Fresno County Fire Protection District conducts fire inspections for day care facilities. Sanger cannot charge a business license tax to family day care homes under state pre-emption, though large family day care permits may carry a processing fee.
Operating unlicensed: state enforcement through Community Care Licensing. Violations of licensing standards: corrective action plan or license revocation. City cannot penalize licensed small day cares for zoning.
