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.

If you can afford $2k per month per child for kindergarten (8-6pm) or $1700 without extended hours (8-3:30) then it's THE BEST SCHOOL. it came to a point that we could not afford otherwise would send our angel another year for sure. Many people withdraw due to less facilities for higher grades (5+)
Vikas VMay 31, 2018My daughter was here for her 3 year pre-school program. She had an amazing set of teachers, Miss Megan and Miss Ting. My daughter hadn't been to any day care or any school sort before she joined Challenger hardwood. Her teachers gave her all the support to learn the language and make her learn, art, math, phonics and everything. Once she comes home, she always talks about her friends and teachers. I believe she has learnt a lot of well behaving from school. Thank you very much.
sripriya m.aMay 21, 2018Excellent campus and teachers.
Barun Kumar ChakravortyMay 16, 2018My child attended Challenger Harwood for 2 years of preschool and kindergarten. We've had a great experience with teachers who are caring and take an individual interest in each child. Challenger makes learning fun through song and play/games, promotes confidence and personal responsibility. My child has matured tremendously through her time here and has developed a genuine love of learning and a passion for reading. She has also made great friendships and has developed trusting relationships with all the adult staff, from her teachers to the preschool and kindergarten directors, before and after school care staff and head master. They all know her by name. This is a fantastic school with a great curriculum. I highly recommend it!
Denise RobersonMay 8, 2018I absolutely love the campus/teachers/staff at this location! All my 3 kids have been in the pre-school and have loved their time here. The teachers are very friendly and hardworking.
Ramya NarasimhanMay 7, 2018It is a great learning environment for our son who loves Challenger and his teachers. We are busy so don’t do a lot with him at home but he still is already reading and learning so much about science, space, history and animal kingdom in PreK! We are very impressed.

What kind of child care licence does CHALLENGER SCHOOL-HARWOOD hold?

- California records 2 inspection visits to CHALLENGER SCHOOL-HARWOOD, the most recent on March 17, 2026 and the earliest on record February 23, 2024. The state publishes the dates of these visits but not what they found, so this count reflects licensing activity, not results. Read the findings themselves in California's own facility search.
Has California visited CHALLENGER SCHOOL-HARWOOD in response to a complaint?
- California records no complaint-driven visits to CHALLENGER SCHOOL-HARWOOD. That means no concern prompted a visit on the public record, which is not the same as a clean inspection history: the state does not publish what its visits found.
Who holds the licence for CHALLENGER SCHOOL-HARWOOD?
- The licence is held by CHALLENGER SCHOOL FOUNDATION. California lists the licensee separately from the facility name, so the two often differ. The facility is in Santa Clara County.
