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.

If you are looking for a preeschool to enroll your child happy hearts is definitely one of the best! I enrolled my soon for 2-3 days out of the week while I went to college and he learned so much. He started off when he first enrolled not talking much and the preeschool actually helped him achieve so many early education goals like sharing and talking (he talk a lot now). The staff were always super nice and helpful and the owner is great! Unfortunately I had to pull out my son due to relocating but I give happy hearts a 10/10!
Brianna RamirezJun 19, 2026I couldn't be happier with happy heart preschool, it has a very friendly staff, and they are very good people the owner is very understanding with the times and my son has learned a lot in the time he has been here and they help us with potty training and I love that.
Jonathan SantiagoJan 29, 2026Terrible daycare! If I could give no stars I would. The owner of this daycare is extremely dishonest and hides issues from parents. We pulled our child out due to extremely concerning information he disclosed to us as well as other concerning things that took place with other children who were enrolled there, to which those were attempted to be covered up but was unsuccessful. Please do thorough research before enrolling your child. And yes, we did report all of our concerns to the department of social services.
SamiJan 15, 2026Maria is such a bundle of joy.. very witty & got a great sense of humor. Watching the way she interacts with the children its a sight to see & they all seem to love her.. what more can you want?
Junebug MitchellJan 14, 2026Both my children have attended this preschool for about 3 years now. Last summer a new owner took over and I can't be happier with the changes she has made. She is super friendly and you can tell cares greatly for the children. Several up grades have been made. New system of checking in and out our children with an app. The app also allows for easy communication with staff and receiving updates and photos.. They have installed cameras as well. Last year they did the first ever open house to have families come and see the work our 3 year old is doing and meet other families. They did a trunk o treat for halloween which was so fun. You can tell the new owner is passionate about bringing community together as well. Seeing a recent complaint is shocking to me, but as a very active parent I have not seen one thing to make me worry about my child. I'd 100% recommend this preschool to anyone looking for a caring place
veronica garciaApr 9, 2025I love happy hearts , especially my daughter ! She loves being there and i love the fact that every day they greet baby girl with so much joy! They have great communication with me whenever I just want to check in the director answers and sends me pictures! The art projects don’t even get me started they are adorable ! Most importantly my daughter has learned and grown so much! She’s been there since she was 4 months and she’s now 2🥹 I love the community we’ve built there! Highly recommend!
