California records 1 routine inspection visit and no visits prompted by a complaint to JOYFUL BEGINNINGS PRESCHOOL.
- Most recent inspection visit
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.

What kind of child care licence does JOYFUL BEGINNINGS PRESCHOOL hold?

How often has California inspected JOYFUL BEGINNINGS PRESCHOOL?
- California records 1 inspection visit to JOYFUL BEGINNINGS PRESCHOOL, the most recent on July 18, 2023. The state publishes the dates of these visits but not what they found, so this count reflects licensing activity, not results. Read the findings themselves in California's own facility search.
Has California visited JOYFUL BEGINNINGS PRESCHOOL in response to a complaint?
- California records no complaint-driven visits to JOYFUL BEGINNINGS PRESCHOOL. That means no concern prompted a visit on the public record, which is not the same as a clean inspection history: the state does not publish what its visits found.
Who holds the licence for JOYFUL BEGINNINGS PRESCHOOL?
- The licence is held by LAFAYETTE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH. California lists the licensee separately from the facility name, so the two often differ. The facility is in Contra Costa County.
