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 wonderful things about LCVPK! Both of my girls attended the school from the time they were two until graduation. If you are looking for a rigid, institutional style learning center then this is not the place for you. My husband and I believe the priorities in preschool are fun, safety and learning and you will certainly get those here! The vibe is family oriented, friendly and child focused. The staff is loving and communicative and from stage to stage they are very aware of each child's nuances and needs. You will not be given copious notes at the end of the day about your child and all that they did, but if you inquire or have a concern it is addressed and followed up on in a timely manner. We weathered Covid, and the aftermath, and each step of the way I felt like things were handled in thoughtful and reasonable way. I am lucky to say that our girls left preschool feeling confident, socialized and READY because of the wonderful care and attention they experienced in each classroom at LCVPK. Many of the teachers and staff are certainly family to us and they are very missed!
Megan AarnaesNov 20, 2025We started at LCVPK in 2018 and have since sent all three of our kids and we couldn’t be happier! Of course, they’ve learned their colors, numbers, and how to be great listeners and students, but what really sets this school apart is the incredible care and excellence of the teachers. Every classroom is filled with dedicated, nurturing educators, and Ms. Jackie has become like a second mom to my three boys. The peace of mind I feel each morning when I drop them off is absolutely priceless. All of my kids have loved going to school here and have been very well-prepared for Kindergarten. Jeanne in the front office is always kind and responsive to any questions I’ve had, which makes everything run so smoothly. LCVPK has been such a blessing to our family- warm, welcoming, and truly exceptional in every way!
Allie EppersNov 13, 2025My son attended Miss Julie’s TK class here last year. She is totally the BEST! We saw such amazing development in my son both socially and academically . He loved going to LCVPK every day. So lucky to have found this school for him. All the staff and teachers here are so good with the kids!
Iysharesh KOct 31, 2025We had our son at LCVP for 2.5 years and he evolved and learned so much! It was a transition for him starting at La Costa but the staff assured me that he would adjust, and he did. The teachers fostered care and warmth, while teaching an enriched curriculum. We also made some wonderful friends that will last well beyond his preschool years. He started kindergarten over a month ago and was well prepared and adapted so well! I give a lot of that credit to LCVP. We’re excited for our second child to attend the preschool :)
Alana AltmannSep 24, 2024LCVPK is the most wonderful preschool. First of all, the location is so safe and the school is absolutely beautiful. Every time we arrive to drop off or pick up there are a bunch of kids laughing and playing - the halls are FULL of joy. We've had the pleasure of getting to know most of the staff. The teachers are truly the sweetest humans. Our daughter currently has Miss Mazie and Miss Ryanne and she loves them. She's learned so much since starting at 2 years old and genuinely looks forward to seeing her teachers and friends at school every day. I recommend LCVPK wholeheartedly!
Katie BurkMay 7, 2024Our daughter has been going to La Costa Valley Preschool since she was just 2 years old, she is now 5 years old, so advanced and ready move to elementary school. She loved it there! The teachers are all so caring and creative, it help any parent feel at ease leaving their child in preschool. Our daughter always had so many news to tell us about her "busy" day: who was her friend today, what they learn at circle time, showed her artwork and crafts. And, of course, Field trips, community helpers visits gived her moments that she will remember for a long time. I would recommend La Costa Valley Preschool & Kindergarten to any parent looking for a safe and friendly Preschool!
