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 son just finished his 3 years at CK and I've been a ball of emotions. This school is truly a gem and we have met so many wonderful people in our time there. We are so sad to leave this special place. The teachers are so attentive and loving to the kids. There is also very little turnover which was a big difference from the daycare we were at before. The teachers are clearly happy and treated well. Some have been there for many years, and we've had no teacher changes in our time there. I like to describe CK as "good old fashioned fun." Everything feels centered around play and exploring. It may not look as fancy as some other trendy schools in the area, but don't let that fool you. The kids are happy and have so much fun, and the teachers are exceptional. They also offer a paid opt-in science program that my son LOVES and looks forward to every week. Sara, the owner and director always makes herself available for parents. She's a wealth of knowledge and has been a huge support whenever we need guidance or advice. Even now that our time is done she has told us to always reach out if we need help or guidance in the future. We are so grateful we've made friends with so many wonderful like minded families along the way.

  • I can’t say enough good things about Celebration Kids! When I was looking for a pre-school for my child I was overwhelmed and turned off by some of the other schools I visited, many had an intense applying-to-college-like energy. When I found CK I was thrilled, from the moment we began our tour I knew it was for us- the vibe is warm, down to earth and joyful. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, caring and dedicated. The campus is so sweet, embracing the beauty of nature and they have cute bunnies. We love CK so much we decided to keep our child there for TK. It’s a loving community that lives up to its name as they truly do celebrate kids.

  • My son has been attending Celebration Kids since 2022 and we are so happy and grateful to have found a community of loving, supportive and nurturing faculty. Waldorf-inspired in philosophy, CK is all about learning through play and focuses on child-centered emotional learning. Every single teacher to at this school is so freaking patient and thorough in how they address students' feelings and conflicts. Last year when we were considering sending our son to LAUSD for TK we ultimately decided that staying at CK was the best possible option for him. Sure, it is more money than UTK (though aftercare through LAUSD is not free either!) but there is something to be said for your kids being in an environment they are familiar with, with people that truly know their little being, AND to be the oldest kiddos on campus modeling for the youngins vs the tiniest students in a school that goes up to pre-pubescent. NO REGRETS. If we are lucky enough to have a second baby, they will be a CK grad too PS - I would be remiss to not point out that there are some very shiny, trendy schools in this area and this one may appear to be more "normal" but its really about the care and the care is exceptional

  • We spent 3 wonderful years at CK. I can't imagine a more caring and nurturing place for our son. The entire staff leads with their heart and draws out the best in their students. But, more than that, they meet each child where they are at developmentally, challenge them to learn and grow, and make it all so much fun. I wish we could have stayed there longer. All my love and gratitude for this magical place and team.

  • We’ve had the most wonderful experience for our daughters at Celebration Kids. It is such a nurturing place for all different personality types, and the teachers and director are very skilled. We have been there for several years and are very happy to have another two years left. I think the only thing we could ask for is that they extended through elementary school, because we don’t want to leave!

  • My company has used Celebrate Kids for many years. We organize several events every year - some small and some large - and they have handled each one flawlessly. The staff is friendly, experienced, and they think of every last detail. Highly recommend!
