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.

  • My son attended this Head Start program, and the staff and teachers were wonderful. They prepared him well for elementary school, and his transition was smooth. Now it's my daughter's turn, and I highly recommend this place

  • Excelente lugar

  • Please be careful with the staff at this head-start, less than a year ago my daughter was abused by the supervisor Maria, I had witnessed it with my own eyes and confronted the staff including Maria and they denied what had happened, I did record the confrontation and asked to see their camera footage and said they didn’t have access. I made a police report and The Managers there reached out and said a county worker would reach out to me in regards to the incident and never did! They cover for their staff and let things like this slide!

  • My kids went here when they were young it is hard to get in for the babies but if your child is potty trained it is easier to get in. They went on field trips and let the parents volunteer and participate.

Has California visited ECS HARBISON HEAD START in response to a complaint?
