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.

  • I love the outdoor play focus, and the novelty of the circle-time lessons. My toddler is well nurtured, is making close friends, and is learning every day. The communication is professional and quick with staff and teachers, I'm a happy mama indeed! Get on the waitlist but don't tell too many folks about this gem.

  • This school has been such an amazing experience for our family! My son absolutely loves coming to play with his friends at school. The playground is magical and the teachers and staff are so kind and caring. I feel so good leaving my son here and when I pick him up he’s having so much fun! You can tell from your child how a school is doing and my son is happy and wants to tell me all about all the wonderful things he learns. He also has made some awesome friends and the families that attend are great!

  • I had nothing but a wonderful experience at El Camino Preschool! Mrs. Tupu is incredible, her heart is truly all for the kids!!! Heike, the owner is on top of everything, although busy she is available anytime. My only reason for 4 stars is because I feel like the PreK curriculum could have been stronger, maybe it was my child, maybe not. The preschool is one of a kind, very organic play and my heart was happy knowing my daughter was happy here!!! I also appreciated that they didn’t ask a lot of parents to help out or donate items for holiday festivities. My son will be starting here this summer too!

  • All three of our boys attended El Camino Preschool and this place is absolutely THE BEST! Thank you to all of the teachers here and the Director Heike...you have made a wonderful impact on the lives of our boys and we couldn't thank you enough for your patience, guidance, and love you had for our three dudes!

Questions parents ask about EL CAMINO PRESCHOOL

Is EL CAMINO PRESCHOOL a licensed child care provider in California?

Yes. EL CAMINO PRESCHOOL holds California licence 376700119, currently listed as "LICENSED" by the Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, first issued on January 1, 2005. Confirm current standing with the agency before enrolling.

What kind of child care licence does EL CAMINO PRESCHOOL hold?

California licenses EL CAMINO PRESCHOOL as a day care center, a category that covers preschool-age children in a centre-based programme. The category comes from the state's own licence record, not from the provider.

How many children can EL CAMINO PRESCHOOL care for?

EL CAMINO PRESCHOOL is licensed for up to 69 children at one time. Licensed capacity is a ceiling set by the state, not a count of current enrolment or of available places.

How often has California inspected EL CAMINO PRESCHOOL?

California records 4 inspection visits to EL CAMINO PRESCHOOL, the most recent on February 3, 2026 and the earliest on record January 24, 2022. The state publishes the dates of these visits but not what they found, so this count reflects licensing activity, not results. Read the findings themselves in California's own facility search.

Has California visited EL CAMINO PRESCHOOL in response to a complaint?

California records no complaint-driven visits to EL CAMINO PRESCHOOL. That means no concern prompted a visit on the public record, which is not the same as a clean inspection history: the state does not publish what its visits found.

Who holds the licence for EL CAMINO PRESCHOOL?

The licence is held by ECP-FM INC.. California lists the licensee separately from the facility name, so the two often differ. The facility is in San Diego County.
