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.

Happy Friends Preschool of Pleasanton has truly been a wonderful experience for our child. Teachers are incredibly caring and paying attention to each child. We've seen a noticeable improvement in her social skill. Love their curriculum , both academic and fun. Well balanced , kids learn new skills happily.
Wendy NgJul 30, 2025Happy Friends Preschool of Pleasanton is the most caring preschool I've experienced. The teachers are very kind and supportive. They always greet the children with warm smiles and create a loving environment. The director is also very responsive and helpful. She offers professional advice whenever I have questions about my child or parenting. I also like the classroom environment at the school. Every classroom has large windows, so everyone can see what's happening inside. I like this because it makes the space feel open and safe. There is also an option for hot lunch, which saves a lot of time in the morning.
Nessa WJun 9, 2025Happy Friends is such a great place. Our son grew so much in the past 2 years under the care and guidance of the wonderful teachers. My wife and I felt great comfort and security with how responsive the teachers were and seeing our child make friends and happily sing the songs he'd learn in class. Would highly recommend to any families looking for a highly reliable, safe, and caring place for their toddlers to grow, thrive, and make friends!
Eric HongJun 2, 2025We are so grateful to have found this preschool! When my son first started, he was very quiet, didn’t speak much, and often cried easily. The teachers and staff here have been incredibly patient, caring, and supportive. Over time, we saw a huge transformation — now he talks a lot, expresses himself with confidence, and has become such a cheerful and outgoing little boy. One thing we really love is that the school has a huge indoor gym where children can play and move around, even on rainy days. We couldn’t be happier with the positive and nurturing environment this school provides. I highly, highly recommend this preschool to everyone — it truly made a difference for our family!
Agnes LauMay 6, 2025My daughter is very happy in this school and the teachers are nice.👍 👍👍
