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.

Our son Fraser started at Enchanted Castle at 18 months and just turned two. The transition was tough during that first week; he cried constantly from drop-off until lunch, and we had to pick him up before nap time. Fast forward to today.. he feels so safe and at home - he is definitely thriving! Fraser has a very strong personality, and we love how patient the staff is and how the Montessori way allows him to channel it positively. We absolutely adore his teachers (Ms. Nhi, Ms. Veronica, Ms. Wen, and Ms. Cat) + a special shout-out to Ms. M, who spoils him with so much love! What really stands out is that all the teachers at the school seem genuinely happy and know Fraser personally. The director, Ms. Parima, is super on top of everything and fosters a great relationship with all the families and staff. I truly appreciate the extra thought and care she puts into the school. If you want a place where your child will be safe, known, and nurtured, we highly recommend this amazing team!
Isabelle MoyseJul 1, 2026If you’re looking for a Montessori school in the area, this is a great choice. The staff do a great job creating an environment that balances learning and fun. 2 years well spent.
Trevon SailorJun 10, 2026Our kiddo started here at 18 months and has totally thrived ever since. his talking and social skills shot through the roof, and we can tell that he has a lot of fun because of how much he talks about it at home. The Director, Ms. Parima, is awesome! She's very thorough right from the beginning with all the information you need upon enrollment. She's also very reachable, and responds to emails in such a timely manner - I don't know how she does it! The teachers are all so amazing, kind, caring and dedicated to the kids. It's clear they take safety and cleanliness seriously, which is important to us. We love how flexible the scheduling is. We can alter the days/hours whenever we need to, which is rare to find at a daycare. We toured a few different daycares, and Enchanted Castle really stood out. It's bright, clean, and clearly fun for the kids while also being educational. At the tour, we received a folder with all the information we could possibly need to make our decision. Other places really fell short, particularly on first impressions. We don't live nearby the school, but we love it so much that it's worth the drive. We're excited to continue to watch our little one grow and thrive at EC, and plan to send our second kiddo there as soon as he's 18 months. So happy we found this school! We know we're setting up our kids for success.
lisa iannarinoMay 13, 2026Our daughter has attended this Montessori Mandarin dual-immersion preschool for 2.5 years, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She genuinely loves going to school every day. The teachers are exceptional — warm, attentive, and truly invested in each child. They provide individualized support while creating a nurturing, happy classroom environment. It’s clear how much the kids adore them. We really appreciate the balance of academics and childhood. The children are learning math, Chinese characters, and meaningful language skills in a way that feels engaging and natural — never overly strict or pressured. The cultural celebrations throughout the year are also such a special part of the program. We’re so grateful to be part of this wonderful school community and can't wait to send our little one soon!
Stephanie HuangFeb 17, 2026Our son started at Enchanted Castle - Spanish Immersion at 2 yo about a year ago, and we are so happy with the decision to send him here. He is so happy here and looks forward to going each day. We are big fans of the Montessori method and have seen so much growth in our son both academically and socially. The school also assisted with potty training and made the whole process less daunting for us and easy for him. His teachers are amazing!
Tiffany ArchuletaJan 2, 2026My daughter is thriving at Enchanted Castle! We love the curriculum and in particular the Chinese Immersion program. She’s so happy to attend school each day and is learning a lot. Highly recommend it!
