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 child has attended FUMP for two years. Both years were fantastic experiences filled with learning; academically and socially. The teachers have been phenomenal; they support the thoughtful development of our children. I have been working on gratitude and appreciation with my child at home and her teacher uses the saying, “You get what you get, and you don’t throw a fit.” In my child’s final year, she worked on letter sounds at school and coupled with reading at home, she is able to sound out basic words before entering kindergarten. I know my child is safe, loved, and supported at FUMP. I cannot recommend this preschool enough.
Debra RoseMay 14, 2025We have been so happy with FUMP! The staff is all so friendly and kind. The office staff are very responsive and attentive. Our daughter loves coming to school every day and we know she is safe and well cared for at FUMP.
Ashley GormicanApr 15, 2024I've sent my daughter to FUMP since she became preschool aged and I'm very happy with her experience. She has had wonderful hands on teachers that have always been great in communicating their lessons, upcoming themes and activities, as well as her development along the way. We will be sending our son as soon as he's old enough. Couldn't recommend a better place for my little's most formative years.
Sarah SeelanApr 15, 2024We have loved having our son at FUMP preschool. We have had lots of friends and people in the community that recommend this preschool, as we know why. The teachers are loving and my little one has learned so much being here. It is a warm, friendly environment and we happily recommend this preschool to others often.
Heidi AMar 29, 2024We have one enrolled student and one alumni thriving in elementary school. FUMP is a wonderful choice for your child's care. The staff is warm, loving and competent. The classrooms are clean, safe and filled with fun activities and toys. The campus is beautiful and well maintained. The school's annual and weekly schedule are accommodating. The school is committed to providing coverage for parents, the early drop off, late pick up and limited holidays are very generous. Admin and teachers are responsive and understanding, they step up to help with your child's growth and development, especially with potty training and naps. FUMP understands providing the community with childcare is an act of service.
Katie McGrawMar 29, 2024Our second child is now in her third year at FUMP. I know she will be well-prepared when she starts kindergarten, just as her brother was before her. She made the age cut off for TK, but we love FUMP so much that we decided to keep her here for one more year! The staff and teachers are stellar and are dedicated in helping the children (and us parents) feel comfortable and safe while also teaching social and emotional skills, fine/gross motor and preparing them academically for kindergarten. The preschool director and FUMCCV lead pastor have been good with communication and I always feel comfortable talking with them if something comes up. Outside of class there have been a number of events where we have gotten to know other families at the preschool, which is nice since not everyone drops off/picks up at the same time.
