California records 0 routine inspection visits and no visits prompted by a complaint to GROWING STEM ACADEMY.
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.

We had an amazing experience with our 2 year old. Everyday she has new activities that we could notice helped with her development. Also all the teachers are very kind and especially Sandy who gave us all the support with her adaptation from the start. I highly recommend!
gabriela bartelleJun 8, 2026Our son started at Growing STEM Academy a few months ago, and it has been a wonderful experience from day one. Every morning, he looks forward to going to school, and talks a lot about his teachers, friends and activities. Sandy, the owner, has been truly exceptional. She was also very supportive throughout our son’s adaptation period, and she stayed in constant communication with us. We always felt very reassured, and included in the process, which made the transition so much easier. The school itself is wonderful - spacious, beautifully furnished, bright, and spotlessly clean. Everything has its place, and the environment feels both calm and inspiring. You can tell how much care goes into maintaining a space where children can feel safe, and curious. We love how thoughtfully each day is structured. There’s a great balance of learning, play, hands-on activities, music, outdoor time, and moments to rest or reset. Activities follow seasonal themes and holidays, which has been lovely - after just a few months, we already see what a positive influence it has on our son. We truly couldn't recommend Growing Stem Academy enough!
Olga BieniasNov 24, 2025My son started at Growing Stem Academy this past July, and our experience has been absolutely wonderful. We've been so happy with the care and attention he receives. A special shoutout to Ms. Sandy, who is incredibly kind and welcoming. It's such a great feeling to see my son so excited to go to school every morning; he genuinely loves it here. He's constantly learning new things through all the fun, hands-on educational activities they do. We feel so fortunate to have found such a nurturing and stimulating environment. Highly recommend!
Dalia KananOct 14, 2025I can't express how lucky and happy I am to have found and enrolled my son at Growing Stem Academy! This was the first school I enrolled my son in and I was nervous about how he would react to being away from home, but to my surprise, he adapted immediately and genuinely loves going to school everyday (every parent's dream)! I can only credit this to the care, patience, and personalized attention from Ms. Sandy. The daily communication and updates we get not only puts me at ease but also shows how many engaging and stimulating activities they do everyday. The facility is modern and clean. You can tell how much the teachers care and what a warm learning environment it is. Ms. Sandy has even somehow gotten my son to eat foods he normally wouldn't eat at home. My son's language and vocabulary has improved so much since starting school, he didn't know any Mandarin before and now is saying many phrases at home.
Kathy ZhenSep 2, 2025I did drop-in care via Bumo here for my son during part of his summer break and he had such a wonderful day here! The teacher was so welcoming and he warmed up right away. He had so much fun he kept asking when he could go back. Going to drop in on other school breaks in the future.
Jessica ChenAug 21, 2025My child was under the care of Ms. Sandy (the founder of Growing Stem Academy), and we had an incredibly positive experience. The environment was nurturing, engaging, and thoughtfully structured around each child's growth. We don't really speak Cantonese at home, but thanks to Ms. Sandy's immersive and consistent approach, my child managed to pick up the language! He eventually passed a Cantonese fluency test and was accepted into a language immersion elementary school~ If you're looking for a warm, bilingual program that genuinely supports your child's development, Growing Stem Academy is an amazing place to start!
