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.

Recent parent reviews

  • My son was part of the early head start home program from the age of 2 till now (he’s almost 5), and throughout the experience he had two very caring and attentive teachers, Ms Araceli and Ms Cynthia. They were both amazing at what they do, not just teaching my son and making sure he hit his milestones but also developing a relationship with the both of us. As a first time mom they listened to many of my worries and provided resources and guidance to services I wouldn’t have known of otherwise. You could tell they truly cared about my son through their patience and kindness, and I’m grateful to them as he takes his next step in education. I wish his teachers the best and hope that other parents feel comfortable entrusting their children’s education to this program.
