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.

We did not ultimately end up going here for preschool because our #1 closer to home had an opening but we loved the tour and the teachers and director and would 100% have sent our daughter here. I still recommend it to friends looking since it's outdoors, nature focused, and beautiful grounds.
Alexandra ElliottDec 21, 2025I’m glad we found Big Tree Little Preschool! My kid loves the outdoor areas—riding bikes every day, doing art projects, and especially playing in the mud on rainy days.
Martin FoxMar 10, 2025The best place to send your littles. Structured and unstructured play/learning with staff who care. I love that my daughter was able to be outside more than inside. I love that she had storytime and nature walks. I love this school.
Ashley GabrielAug 10, 2023Can’t recommend this nature, play-based preschool enough
Laura SpurzemFeb 25, 2023Caring, professional staff. Darling campus
Katia HansenDec 2, 2017My daughter attended Big Tree Little Preschool for almost 3 years. The staff and the owner, Rebecca are wonderful, loving people. The Preschool is located in a safe neighborhood and shared with a church. It is completely gated with a large and beautiful outdoor play area full of all types of toys, slides, and play houses. Just a few of the fun activities include nature walks, yoga, story time, making play dough, arts and crafts, teddy bear picnics and too many more to list! My daughter absolutely loved going and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe and fun learning environment.
