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.

Recent parent reviews

  • Our family cannot say enough good things about Garden Day. From the very first day, the staff welcomed our three and four year old with genuine warmth, and it did not take long to see how much both of them have thrived here. The teachers are patient, attentive, and clearly passionate about early childhood education, and it shows in the little things: the way they celebrate each child’s milestones, the thoughtful daily activities, and the safe, nurturing environment they create. Our kids come home excited to share what they learned, and we have watched them grow more confident, curious, and social with every passing week. It is rare to find a school where you feel this confident leaving your children in someone else’s care, but the team at Garden Day has earned our complete trust. We are so grateful for everything they do and could not recommend them more highly.

  • I am a helicopter parent and way over protective of my kids. I will not take my kids any place else but here. It’s not just a daycare it’s education and kindness and love and safety.

  • My daughter went to this day care from the ages of 3-6yrs and she loved it. My child always spoke highly of her teachers and ALWAYS came home wanting to tell me all the things she's learned. Mrs. Debbie (the director) is perfect at what she does and once you meet her you can tell she has a heart for children. I was really bummed when we moved counties and I had to switch my daughters day care. I wish I could give an endless amount of stars ✨

Has California visited GARDEN DAY SCHOOL in response to a complaint?
