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.

  • Can’t say enough good things about this place! As a first time mom who was so worried about putting my son in daycare, this place gave me so much comfort in my decision! The communication and experience you get on a daily basis gave me so much peace! Only moved him because we needed something closer to home! You can tell how much every teacher/ support staff truly cares and loves for each child! Thank you Creating Characters!

  • Our twins absolutely love this preschool! The staff here are truly amazing. Everyone here is so caring, patient and encouraging with every child. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and go above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing and fun environment for the kids. It’s such a comfort as a parent knowing our children are supported, learning and excited to go to school every day. We’re so grateful for this wonderful school and the incredible team who make it such a special place! 🌟Mrs Jozalynne has truly gone above and beyond to ensure she has an amazing staff/team and I think that’s what makes this place so special. I’m also a huge researcher and this preschool was the only one in our area that had zero incidents, major or minor, on the state website, so I felt safer sending the twins somewhere with such a positive record.

  • My son has been coming here for 3 months and we are extremely pleased with our experience! There has been a boom in his vocabulary and he's been very eager to communicate with us when he comes home, his potty training journey has been successful, and overall we are just happy. There's a family feel here for sure- the director and the staff is absolutely amazing and I really appreciate the open communication between us all. I can't wait until my daughter turns 2 so she can get started too; I know she's going to flourish as well!

  • If you're in search of a school that truly understands the importance of early years education, your search ends at Creating Characters Academy. I'm a parent who wouldn't entrust my child to just anyone, but this academy has won me over completely. The moment I stepped foot in the school, I knew it was special. My daughter has blossomed here, demonstrating enthusiasm for learning, enjoying playtime with her friends, and adoring her teacher and the staff. If you're looking for a place where your child will receive love, care, and top-notch education along with excellent COMMUNICATION from the staff, you've found it. The team here is incredible, always willing to go the extra mile for the children and treat everyone like family. You will feel safe & secure leaving your children here & it will be not only an amazing experience for your children but for you!

  • Words couldn’t express how amazing this Academy is. The staff, the cleanliness, the love, concern, support I mean everything literally top tier. As a believer of Christ it was not an accident that this place was brought to my attention. My son was in a school previously where I saw him loosing himself and loosing the values that his dad and I wanted for him due to lack of structure and from day one of being at Creating Characters I started to see a shift, a growth and a happiness that he was loosing. His teacher Ms Chelly is just an amazing teacher so kind and patient however she will hold them accountable when necessary and I love that. I wish they would just open a K-12 school because at this point I don’t know how I will handle leaving in the next year. 🥺 Thank you for taking such amazing care of our son and thank you for making it easy to leave knowing he is in great care. Keep being a blessing to families and we love each and everyone. 🩷The Huddleston Family

  • I’ve seen incredible growth in both of my children since enrolling them. My 4-year-old is making huge strides in his kindergarten readiness! his confidence, language skills, and independence have grown so much. And my baby is absolutely thriving as well. You can truly feel the care and intentionality the teachers put into every interaction. The teachers are kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in our children. The classrooms are clean, safe, and so inviting that my kids are excited to go every morning. As a mom, that level of peace of mind means everything. I highly recommend scheduling a tour. I was skeptical at first but once I took a step inside, I felt this place was like a second home. It has been such a blessing to our family! Thank you 🩷🙏🏽

California records 5 inspection visits to CREATING CHARACTERS PRESCHOOL ACADEMY, the most recent on February 5, 2026 and the earliest on record December 9, 2021.
