Oops, sorry...I misread your original post.
I am not in CA but from what I understand from reading the rules/regulations, it looks like a license is not transferable and you will need to re-apply for a center license as if you are a new provider.
Also the only other "roadblocks" or issues I see that are different than family care is that many facilities licensed for center care require commercial fire safety equipment and/or some other commercial things.
You'd need to fully read up on those requirements though to find out for sure...
Here is the link to all the center rules:

Hope that helps!
