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.

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding care and a nurturing environment! I couldn't be happier with the care my child receives at Crescent Head Start in Buena Park. From the moment we enrolled, the staff has been incredibly welcoming, professional, and attentive. My daughter is well taken care of every single day—she is always fed, her diapers are changed regularly, and most importantly, she is treated with kindness and respect. I can go about my day with peace of mind knowing she’s in good hands. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a safe and loving environment for the little ones!

  • For almost a year son's been on this waiting list for multiple schools, and everytime I call to speak to Omar or the COA of the day I get put on hold. They either transfer me to voicemail or dont answer at all. This is RIDICULIOUS!! So unprofessional
