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.

I’ve had the great pleasure enrolling my daughter into Cottontail Preschool since the age of 2. She will be turning 5 this year and I’m super sad her time in preschool is coming to an end. I have a 14 year old son that attended Cottontail Preschool and I’m honored to have such supporting and loving staff look after my babies. Definitely the best decision as a parent I have ever made!
Kindra MitchellMar 10, 2026Cottontail is absolutely amazing. Both my children have gone here and it's truly been their home away from home for us working parents. They have treated my kids like their own. They have learned, developed and become prepared for kindergarten. With Cottontail being apart of our family for generations, I couldn't imagine sending my kids anywhere else. All children are extremely well taken care of and loved by all the wonderful staff. Cottontail will always be family to us and hold a special place in our hearts.
Samantha LopezMar 10, 2026Best place for your toddler specially if your little one have autism this place treat your child like they own and they help you as well and the hours are great loveee it
Nico BrownJul 31, 2025Denise and her team truly care about their kiddos. Our youngest had a tough transition to being away from her mamma for the first time, and the entire staff showed her so much love to help her get comfortable. That meant a lot to us and helped with our parent guilt about putting her in school. We enjoyed our time at Cottontail and are grateful for the entire staff of teachers!
Tony JohnsonAug 19, 2024Definitely one of my best choices i ever made , my son enjoyed being here and loved coming here , its a secure place with friendly staff & denise has my respect will bring my kids here with out a doubt, very professional people and well organized, they keep you informed of everything
Wendy GomezJul 31, 2024This preschool has been amazing so far. I have my 2 yo enrolled. The staff is always so kind and attentive, Denise is a great communicator, she is easy tk speak to and I feel that she truly cares about my child. The facility is always clean and the children seem happy and comfortable. They have a security lock with a code to gain entry so the staff know who is coming in and out at all times, this makes me feel safe leaving my kid there. Oh, and the outdoor play area is HUGE!
