What California does not publish here
The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

My wife and I sent both of our kids to Ahrens over a period of eight years. Without a doubt, this has been one of the best parenting decisions we have ever made. The staff is friendly, professional, and deeply concerned with child safety and development. You will not be sorry if you send your kids to Ahrens, it is the perfect balance of love and structure for children. I give Ahrens my HIGHEST recommendation!
Craig HadleyJul 8, 2024Our family has had children attend Ahren's for the past five years, moving through the youngest preschool class through Kindergarten. We are so incredibly grateful for the care provided to our son and daughter. At all times we knew they were in an environment that was safe and surrounded by people who truly cared for them. Our children grew into such wonderful little people under their watch. Not only did they learn from an academic standpoint but they continued to grow socially and emotionally. Our children entered into public school well above their peers in regards to subjects like math and reading but, more importantly, they were more mature, knew how to be kind friends, and were ready to learn. I would recommend Ahren's without any reservations.
Tori Van DykAug 24, 2023I don’t think I can fully express how grateful I am to everyone at Ahrens. I remember taking my daughter to Ahrens for the first time. I selected them based on recommendations from coworkers (and the more than fair prices). Although I trusted the recommendations I was still scared to leave my girl with strangers. What came to develop is something money cannot buy. I didn’t know that in a few short years a friendship would grow not only for my daughter but for me as well. The family that owns this school is so kind and loving. All of the staff have been so attentive to my daughter during her various levels here. This school is everything you hope for in child care. They treated her as their own 🥰 They took the time to get to know her inside and out. They not only nurtured her academically but emotionally as well. I’m extremely sad to be moving on from this school. My daughter will be attending first grade in a few days and needless to say Ahrens as set a very high standard in quality of care. Thank you to all who watched over my baby and helped her be the best her. 🥰 PS now to start potty training my son, we’ll be back soon!! 😘 In a while crocodile 🐊
Reina MejiaAug 2, 2019I don't have enough good things to say about this place and its owners . I had my 3 kids there since 2009 until this last June, 2018, so I dropped off kids for almost 9 years every day! My kids always loved to go there, a lot of days they wanted to stay longer! and I always had the peace of mind that they were very well taken care off, learning and having fun! I think they do a great job balancing academic work with free playing and art. My 3 kids got to kinder garden knowing a lot of things already, more than most kids probably, so they did great in the next stage. The owners are very easy to talk to, always have time to listen and they are just good hearted people, I miss not seeing them in the week! All the teachers did a fantastic job from the little ones to the kinder garden group. All I can say is thank you, thank you so much for being there for us parents and taking such a good care of our babies! Oh did I mention the great Holiday festival every year?? you don't want to miss it!!
nancy newtonOct 2, 2018Our daughter JiJi started at Ahrens when she was 3 and was there throughout Kindergarten. Placing her at Ahrens was one of the best decisions we have made regarding our daughter. The owners and staff are absolutely amazing, we could truly see their love for children! Our daughter received wonderful educations at Ahrens and when she went into 1st grade she was so well prepared. We never had any situations with bullying and unkind children...we will always be grateful for the Ahrens family!
Susan MesaApr 17, 2018My children attended Ahrens back in the early 1990's and now my grandson attends Ahrens. It was like walking back in time the first time I went to pick up my grandson. I have never had (nor could I imagine having) a bad experience with this group of people. The environment is positive and upbeat and the kids are always so very happy. Thank you Ahrens for offering such a quality environment to the Redlands Toddler population and peace of mind to many, many parents.
