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.

  • We absolutely love sending our daughter here. She has made the best friends and we have a great relationship with all of the teachers. Our three year old is very happy going to school every day and she’s learning so much! I know that she is very well cared for.

  • This is an amazing nursery school! I am so grateful we found this place! My daughter loves the school, and she is very well taken care of. The staff is absolutely amazing! Great place to learn and play

  • I went here from 1972 until 1981, from preschool to after school care. My 4 daughters went here as well as my nephews from 1984 to 1990 and from 1996 to 2008. I have such fond memories of all the teachers. I love them. The Ahrens family has created a safe environment. My children are all very successful and excelled in academics which I attribute to their time spent here in this loving but disciplined preschool. I only wish I lived closer so my grandchildren could get the same wonderful experience. I highly recommend this preschool. It is honestly the best in the area!! Hi Ms. Nancy!! And yes she’s the same preschool teacher I had!!

  • Great place! Excellent care for my child! I am very happy that my child is cared for. Super friendly and convenient!

  • This nursery is really a safe place to put your beloved kids with piece of mind, the staff are wonderful and always smiling from morning to evening 😃 not to mention that the business owner is on top of everything all the time and knows the details. They provide healthy food to the kids. They have mix of learn and fun. I have to say that i am from another country so my daughter did not find any difficulty to deal with kids and teachers even she started to speak english words with no time. Finally i am really grateful to the place and its staff and wish them all best of luck.
