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 has been sending our children to Jenny Hart for 16 years. First it was my niece and nephew. Then my first child, and our youngest is finishing this year. We've trusted Jenny Hart and their wonderful staff to guide our children through their early years. My wife and I sincerely appreciate all of the support and guidance that they provided us as first time parents. Thank you!

  • Our family is so grateful for the love and care our two girls (now 5 and 8) received at Jenny Hart, beginning in 2021. They both attended for three years each, and it was such an important part of their early childhood experience. As we wrap up our younger one's time at JH, it is truly bitterweet to be saying goodbye and we will miss it so much. As two full-time working parents, I can't say how much it meant to be completely comfortable leaving our children at school every day. We chose JH through recommendations of trusted family friends and also because it is play-based and faith-based. With the amount of time our kids spent at school, it was important for us to know that, in addition to learning social, emotional, and educational skills, they were getting to play! and have fun! and enjoying their early years in the way that kids deserve. The special events (Christmas performance, graduation performances, and other special events like Mother's Day and Father's Day luncheons) create a meaningful community for kids and families to create fun and lasting memories. All of the teachers and leadership team at JH are amazing and caring people, and we are so grateful for their dedication and love for our kids. We will miss JH dearly!!!

  • This preschool is truly a hidden gem! Before enrolling my child, I had already heard amazing things from friends. One of them even told me that when their kid started here, everything became about “Jenny Hart.” After my child joined, I can absolutely confirm that it’s all true, this school really lives up to its reputation, and I only wish we had found it sooner. The teachers here are not only highly professional but, more importantly, incredibly loving and patient. My child has learned so many valuable selfcare skills using the potty independently, cleaning up after meals, and putting toys back where they belong. He’s also picked up new knowledge like counting, recognizing colors and shapes, and even learning letters and his own name. Every week he proudly brings home drawings and crafts, and he has made so many new friends along the way. Every morning when I drop him off, I can feel the joyful and energetic atmosphere as teachers and children greet each other warmly. In the afternoons, the phrase I hear most often is: “Can I play a little longer?” Whenever I ask, “Do you want us to pick you up earlier or later?” he always answers, “Later, I haven’t played enough yet!” Sometimes on weekends he even wakes up asking to go to school, and when I remind him that it’s closed until Monday, he sighs and says, “But I miss my teachers. I want to see them.” I would like to give special thanks to Ms. G and Ms. B. My child feels so much love and trust from them, and they’ve patiently taught him so many life skills and knowledge. I myself always feel warmth and care in my conversations with the teachers and the directors. The school also organizes wonderful activities, such as Foam Parties, Puppet Shows, and Prehistoric Pets. One of the most exciting moments for my child was being able to touch animals he had never experienced before: a baby alligator, a baby python, a turtle, a lizard, and more. I am so grateful that my child can spend such unforgettable days here. I truly believe that when he grows up, he will look back at his time at this preschool as one of the most precious and joyful memories of his childhood.❤️

  • Jenny Hart is exactly the kind of preschool we were looking for and we feel so fortunate to have found it! We went on a tour based on a referral from a neighbor (whose kids loved it!) and immediately knew it was different, in the best way. Ms. Alma and Ms. Daneen are incredibly thoughtful and caring—they take the time to get to know each child and family, and it’s clear how deeply they value creating a warm, supportive environment. The teachers are equally wonderful: patient, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile, which makes learning fun and meaningful each day. We’ve seen so much progress and joy in our kids (4.5 year old girl, 2 year old boy), and we couldn’t be happier with the level of care and dedication from the entire team. One of the things we’ve loved most about attending Jenny Hart is the wonderful community of families. It feels like everyone is invested in supporting one another, which makes the preschool experience even more special. Our kids are thriving here, and we feel so grateful to be part of such a caring and connected school. If you are looking for a great school with a close-knit community of welcoming families, Jenny Hart is a 10/10 :)

  • So grateful to find this school/early education center for my son, Sonni. The teachers and staff members are amazing and they all go above and beyond to make sure my child is comfortable as well as the parents. We love that they are so nurturing, positive, warm, caring and the list can go on. They will work with you and try to make the process as easy as possible. The hours are great for parent that work full time. So glad to be a part of the Jenny Hart family and would highly recommend.
