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.

This school has been amazing to both my kids! The teachers are the most patient, loving, kind women I ever met! They made both of my kids feel so at home there and I am so grateful for them
Lauren VJun 11, 2026I love it here, my child loves it, we are very happy with this choice we have made to enroll her here. The staff and director are amazing! Very communicative and caring.
Krystal HernandezApr 21, 2026We have been nothing but pleased with First Experiences! My son looks forward to going every time. The class sizes are small and they are so well cared for! The program has well prepared my child for Kindergarten, not only in academics but with learning to interact with others. The field trips and special days were a treat too!
Laura BradyMay 28, 2015Fantastic school!! Small classrooms, 6-12 in a room, flexible scheduling, well educated and experienced teachers and staff, Christian based curriculum that welcomes everyone and field trip and special days on campus. All of my children have attended and I am happy to recommend it to others.
Christie HowellMay 27, 2015Our son attended here. Wonderful school. Small class size, loving teachers. Great preparation for school. We love this school!
