Provider Complaints
The Pomona Unified School District Resource & Referral Department believes parents should choose child care based on their own judgment. We provide parents with a random list of providers and urge them to personally visit and choose carefully.
If you observe anything concerning, please inform us!
Report Suspected Child Abuse/Neglect
If you suspect that a child has been, or is in danger of, abuse or neglect, contact the county Children's Protective Services 24-hour emergency response phone. You may also contact the police or county sheriff.

Complaint Policy
Principles and Procedures
Our services cater to both providers and parents in our area on a non-discriminatory basis, irrespective of income, race, religion, national origin, sex, age, or disability.
We maintain strict confidentiality with all information received.
Instances of complaints or threats to a child's physical safety, or knowledge of licensing violations, prompt an immediate referral to the licensing agency.
During the investigation of a complaint, referrals to the provider may be temporarily suspended.
If a license is revoked, temporarily suspended, or placed on probation, the provider will be expunged from our referral database. Providers have the option to appeal to the Community Care Licensing.

Contact is initiated with the provider to express concerns and offer program assistance.

For complaints alleging serious licensing violations, parents are directed to contact the Community Care Licensing Agency in their area directly.
