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.

Recent parent reviews

  • Hi everyone I am a mother of a child who attends Castles preschool and daycare. I am so happy with the service I am getting there. Castles is a diverse place for everyone to feel comfortable and welcomed. I had my older daughter who is a second grader gone there and She enjoyed it so much, and now I have my son who loves being there. As a native Arabic speaker, I am so glad to see my son’s teacher talking and teaching the class the Arabic numbers and country, which is another great ability I give her 2 thumbs up for it.

  • We Love Castles and all the staff. My 2 year son goes there and they have been amazing and my son has grown and learned so much in less than a year.

  • They have wonderful staff members who are always going above and beyond for the children they care for! This daycare is perfect for kids to play with friends and learn new skills. Love you Castles!

  • We really like Castles. Our kids have always been well cared for. I would give 4 stars only because the food isn't as healthy as I would like and they don't send pictures to parents of their babies in the baby room and I really wanted that when I started my 3 month old.

    Robin Carter-ErvinSep 13, 2018
  • Castle has been great! My daughter has really enjoyed going there. The only thing that had been a very small challenge is them closing at 6p. That was only a small challenge during my works summer hours.

    Jessica AndersonSep 13, 2018
  • I love Castles! Both my boys go there, my 10yr old has been there since kindergarten and my 11 month old has been there for about 6 months now and will continue there for until he ages out in 6th grade.
