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 son spent 2 years at Foothills Preschool and absolutely loved it! He is currently excelling in his STEM magnet school and the great foundation he got here definitely helped him do that. I highly recommend them!
Lisa KunzmanFeb 16, 2026
Great school! We had our twins here and they loved the school and their teachers!
Andrea MatrangaFeb 16, 2026
Both of my children attended this preschool. The attention that each of the kiddos got was amazing. And definitely will always be apart of our family. My kids still ask to go back to say hi to their teachers. They are thriving in their elementary school now thanks to foothills.

We absolutely loved Foothills. The classrooms are small and intimate, which creates a calm, nurturing atmosphere, while the outdoor space is generous and thoughtfully designed. Every day children can choose from a variety of activities — mud kitchen, tricycle races, painting, cozy reading nooks — and that freedom really shows in their joy. The teachers we met were all extraordinary: warm, attentive, and deeply caring. They truly have a special place in our hearts, along with the director, whose leadership is felt in every detail of the school. My children came home dirty and happy — the best possible combination. Even now, they speak about their time there with real affection. For us, that tells us we choose well.

Great preschool and caring teachers and staff!
Hesam SamimiMay 8, 2025
Great school for my active toddler. Her teachers are fantastic and very attentive. It's reasonably priced and my 3 year old is always happy to go.
