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.

Our children spent 3 years at BunnyBears, and we can't thank them enough for what they've done for us. Their enriching program blossomed our kids into thoughtful, curious, caring, empathetic human beings who are excited to learn and try new things! Every teacher is so passionate about what they do and truly cares about each child as an individual. Enrolling in BunnyBears was one of the best decisions we made as a family, their sense of community is unmatched.
Rachel CaoAug 13, 2026BunnyBears has been such a special part of our family’s life since we started our oldest in the Butterfly class at 3 years old. She has excelled so much socially and in her motor skills, routine skills, and so much more. We also brought our 2 year old to BB after being in an at home daycare and were thrilled with the gentle and kind care Ms Megan gives to the little ones. Both kids really enjoy the playground, learning by play activities and the special crafts they get to make every day. Our family loves the events that BB puts so much effort into, like the Holiday Sing, Thanksgiving tea and more throughout the year. We also love that they offer soccer shots (added cost by separate company) on site optionally. Our oldest is transitioning to TK and will surely miss BB, but we are happy to keep our little one there throughout the next 2 grades. Thank you to all of the kind and special teachers and admins. Ms Francesca, Ms Thavey, Ms Megan, Ms Karen, Ms Egle, Ms Tonya. Our oldest will miss you all so much!
Natasha AhmedDec 15, 2025We’ve had such a great experience with Bunnybears Preschool! Both of my daughters attended, and I can honestly say it’s a wonderful environment for kids to learn and grow. The play-based approach made school feel fun and engaging while still giving them the foundation they needed. The teachers are warm and caring, and you can tell they truly love what they do. My girls were always excited to go in the mornings, which says it all. Highly recommend Bunnybears to any family looking for a nurturing, playful, and supportive preschool experience!
Josh CoonanAug 16, 2025Lovely, caring staff that foster growth in the kiddos. Recommended.
A UApr 15, 2025My daughter attended BunnyBears Santee for two years and it was the best choice we could have made for her! Egle runs a beautiful, caring, nurturing and loving preschool program and we were so happy with how our daughter flourished in the care of her and the wonderful teachers that work there. The classrooms are beautiful and intentionally decorated and most importantly, clean. I would recommend this preschool 100x over if you are looking for childcare for your little one.
Ashley LeSageAug 29, 2024Both of our kids love it. Our daughter has significantly increased her confidence since attending here. They celebrate her curiosity and allow her to explore the world.
