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 family has had a wonderful experience with this preschool. From the very beginning, the school created a warm, welcoming environment where my child felt comfortable and excited to learn. We've seen tremendous growth in the social, emotional, and educational development of our child. They have become more confident, independent, and eager to explore new ideas, while also learning valuable skills like sharing, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. The teachers and staff are truly exceptional. They are caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's well-being and success. Their nurturing approach, combined with their experience in early childhood education, creates a safe and supportive environment where every child can thrive. It's clear they take the time to get to know each child as an individual, and their patience, kindness, and dedication have made a lasting positive impact on our family. I highly recommend this preschool to anyone looking for a place where children are encouraged to learn, grow, and feel valued every day.
Kate GormanJul 20, 2026All of my 3 children attended the 2 year program at Children’s Garden and I couldn’t be happier with the experience they had. It was the perfect transition for them to start slowly being away for the day, develop social skills and allowed them to thrive in a fun, warm and safe environment. Gina, the Master Teacher is exceptional and has over 30 years experience working with young children! My kids learned manners, how to follow routines, dance, songs, patterns, and so much more. We will treasure the staff and friends we’ve made through CH for many years to come!
Monica KirbyJun 23, 2026Children’s Garden Preschool has been an incredible experience for our family. It is such a special place for children to learn, explore, and grow in a nurturing environment. The teachers are truly exceptional—kind, patient, and deeply committed to the children in their care. They put so much thought, time, and effort into creating meaningful experiences every day, like bubble parties and activities related to a theme or an upcoming event or holiday. The impact this school has had on our child has been remarkable. We’ve seen tremendous growth in confidence, independence, communication, and social skills since attending Children’s Garden. She made some of her first real “friends” here. We are incredibly grateful for everything this school has done for our family and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an outstanding preschool experience.

Questions parents ask about CHILDREN'S GARDEN
Is CHILDREN'S GARDEN a licensed child care provider in California?
- Yes. CHILDREN'S GARDEN holds California licence 233008837, currently listed as "LICENSED" by the Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, first issued on August 13, 2014. Confirm current standing with the agency before enrolling.
What kind of child care licence does CHILDREN'S GARDEN hold?
- California licenses CHILDREN'S GARDEN as a day care center, a category that covers preschool-age children in a centre-based programme. The category comes from the state's own licence record, not from the provider.
How many children can CHILDREN'S GARDEN care for?
- CHILDREN'S GARDEN is licensed for up to 20 children at one time. Licensed capacity is a ceiling set by the state, not a count of current enrolment or of available places.
How often has California inspected CHILDREN'S GARDEN?
- California records 2 inspection visits to CHILDREN'S GARDEN, the most recent on June 5, 2024 and the earliest on record October 6, 2022. 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 CHILDREN'S GARDEN in response to a complaint?
- California records no complaint-driven visits to CHILDREN'S GARDEN. 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 CHILDREN'S GARDEN?
- The licence is held by CASPAR CHILDREN'S GARDEN INC.. California lists the licensee separately from the facility name, so the two often differ. The facility is in Mendocino County.
