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.

  • This place saved my son from the tyranny in 2020-2022. We are Forever grateful to Mrs. George. From 2yrs old to 10yrs old they ran a good solid program for my son and his friends who grew super close being that its a smaller more family orientated setting. highly recommend.

  • Both of my grandsons have attended this school for preschool and elementary years, and they've had wonderful experiences. It's a place that genuinely cares for the children, not just seeking a paycheck. The school offers excellent hours from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Both boys are always excited and eager to attend school each day.

  • My son has been attending this school since April 2022, and we absolutely love it! It’s rare to find a school where the teacher and director genuinely care about the children’s success. Initially, I thought he would only attend preschool there, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn they offer education up to 6th grade! The personalized attention and low student-to-teacher ratio are unmatched compared to other elementary schools. Before enrolling here, my son attended two other preschools, and our experience was not as positive. Ms. George is truly exceptional and makes a lasting impact.

  • Miss Paige is an role model teacher who is kind, fun, loving, and constantly engaging the child’s minds. I was a little concerned for my daughter when I heard she was to have a new teacher. She had recently gone through so much change and had fallen in love with her current teacher. All my worry disappeared the day we received Miss Paige. Miss Paige is so warm and welcoming and the children truly have a strong bond with her. She is always engaging the children in learning activities, conversations, and songs, and she manages to make everything fun! A child with a “boo boo" will be up laughing in seconds and through patience and communication, Miss Paige is able to get the children to listen to her requests effortlessly. She really takes the time to learn each child’s personality and needs on a deeper level. My daughter has fallen in love with Miss Paige, as has our family, and we are so greatly appreciative to have her in our lives. All the teachers at this school are amazing and they really build a community here for the families.

  • I have had my little one at the Learning Academy for several years now and I am super happy with her teachers and progress as a student. My daughter has developed close friendships with other students and is always excited to go to school.
