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.

Sarah is horrible and unprofessional
Angela WhoteJun 16, 2026All the teachers and director are very caring and supportive of the students. I feel comfortable leaving my child here and she comes home happy from having a good day. The curriculum is great and they enforce manners. Nothing but a great experience here.
kelli cervantesJan 18, 2020friendly and understanding staff. my son loves it here. they make education fun for my son.
David LopezJan 16, 2020Very supportive and caring staff. They take all of my concerns seriously and truly listen to the kids. We're blessed to have this amazing preschool here. The prepare them for Kindergarten academically. Great place all around!
Alicia LaGoyJan 7, 2020My child has been with Michelle, the director, and Hearts and Hands now for about 2.5 months. I have been at multiple facilities and I can't even put into words how wonderful the staff is at Hearts and Hands. Hearts and Hands embraced my child, took him into their arms as if he were their own, and truly has impacted us in ways in which I cannot even describe. The children not only learn curriculum, but how to be decent human beings. Best childcare facility by far!
Tessa SpurlockSep 19, 2019My child came from an environment where there was no structure or rules. Granma let him do whatever he wanted and received rewarding tantrums in a daily basis. At first, it was very difficult for my child to adapt to a place of learning, structure and new friends. I found Salinas Hearts and Hands via radio. After two years, my child got evaluated for public school kinder for this coming year. The district’s evaluator informed us that our child was academically advanced for his age and that he wouldn’t be surprised if our child would be the one teaching other kids their shapes, colors, sounds, etc. He also mentioned, that he can tell that our child loves to read and write. Thank you to the Director, Ms. Michelle and her lovely staff, Ms. Belle, Ms. Fernanda, Ms. Fabi and everyone in Hearts and Hands for all of their hard work!
