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.

  • I love this place if you want a place where you know your daughter is well taken care of and loved. My daughter has been going there since she was 3 and she is now 10. I have an amazing relationship with Mr.Marlon, Miss Kelly, Ms. Jenn and not to mention Mrs Janael the owner. I truely feel she is doing great in school because of there structured learning environment. In the end I am so grateful for the teachers. I absolutely love Bright Beginnings 10s across the board!!!

  • I’m so happy my husband and I found Bright Beginnings Preschool. My son has been going a little under a year and he loves it. The staff are all wonderful and welcoming. They send daily photos and updates and you can tell they truly care for all the little ones there. I love that they also serve great healthy lunches to the kids. My son has learned to spell his name and I can see he is academically improving from when he first began going. I love the extra activities they offer for them as well. Zumba, the tumble bus and Spanish classes are just a few of the things my son has also enjoyed there. I can’t speak highly enough about this preschool!

  • I have nothing but good things to say about Bright Beginnings and their whole team of wonderful teachers! Both of my kids love going to school; not only are they having fun, but they are also progressing academically. There are fun activities scheduled frequently. The price is very reasonable. I love that they can care for the kids from toddlers through elementary school. I could go on and on about how happy we are with this school!

  • My daughter has gone to this daycare since she was a toddler. If your looking for a safe, clean, and a team that care about children look no farther.

  • I do not have a child attending this daycare, however I felt it important to share my observations. While driving by on several occasions I observed three staff members supervising children in outside play. One employee had no mask at all, the other two had masks below the level of their chin. There were also a few children with masks and they too had the mask below their chin. There was not one person of the 20 + that I observed that had a mask. I imagine these are children of essential workers and worry about these children passing on covid-19 to their family members and subsequently throughout the county.

  • Love them. The whole team are friendly, professional, and fun. My son has an awesome time there and learns a lot.
