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.

  • Our experience with Kai Ming Preschool so far has been truly wonderful. From the moment we joined, we felt welcomed by the staff and reassured by their professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for the children. The teachers are patient, nurturing, and attentive, always encouraging curiosity and growth through creative and age-appropriate activities. We’ve seen our child become more confident, social, and independent since starting here. The curriculum strikes a great balance between structured learning and play, and it’s clear the educators put a lot of thought into each day. We also appreciate the emphasis on cultural awareness and inclusivity, which aligns well with our values. Communication from the school has been consistent and helpful, keeping us informed about our child’s progress and upcoming events. We’re grateful to be part of the Kai Ming community and look forward to the continued growth and joy our child experiences here.

  • Just wanted to share here our experience with other parents who may be looking for childcare for their little ones. First of all, we are very lucky to have such sincere care and support from Kai Ming Head Start St Luke Center! The teachers and staff are truly passionate about their work, and it shows in the way they interact with the children, in a way how they support my child's learning and development. I've also noticed such a positive impact on my child's social skills and language development. The curriculum is engaging and age-appropriate, and my child is learning so much, coming back home my kid always has so much to share about what she has learned. And what is most important I know my kid stays in a safe and positive place.
