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.

I can't say enough good things about this wonderful preschool! My daughter has been attending since she was 2.5 years old, and it's been an amazing experience every step of the way. The three teachers are truly incredible—each one brings their own unique energy, but they all share a deep commitment to nurturing and educating the kids. They're so responsive and really take the time to get to know each child. One of the things I love most is how creative and engaging the curriculum is. The meals are not only healthy but also fun! They often tie the food into the weekly theme, which my daughter absolutely loves. For example, one week, everything was green—green foods, green activities—and she ate it all! It's such a smart way to get kids excited about trying new things. The school itself is a wonderland! The teachers decorate every inch of the school to reflect the weekly themes, making the space feel dynamic and alive. It honestly makes me want to be a kid again. I also really appreciate the small class sizes, which allows for a more personalized experience for each child. The yard is fantastic! It has a sandbox, a tire swing, guinea pigs that the kids love to visit, a climbing structure with monkey bars, and a swing set. It’s the perfect space for the kids to play, explore, and develop their motor skills in a safe, fun environment. Overall, I highly recommend this gem of a preschool. It’s been such a positive and enriching experience for my family, and I’m so grateful to have found a place where my daughter is not only learning but thriving.
Karen NolanNov 16, 2025Love this preschool. Between my two kids this is the 4th preschool in the area we’ve attended and our very favorite. Great teachers, great families and cute, convenient location. Can not recommend enough!!
Maroka KawamuraMay 17, 2023The most caring preschool! Terri and all the teachers there are like an extension of our family. They really helped my oldest prepare for kindergarden and now my second child is there learning, exploring and learning how to socialize. Everyday she comes home she tells me about her day, and it is always full of new experiences and skills!
