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.

My son started at this preschool when he was just two years old, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made for him. The transition was tough at first he had always been with us, so letting go was emotional but the amazing staff made it so much easier. From the very beginning, they’ve treated him like family. He’s grown so much since starting he’s more confident, social, and always comes home happy. One of the biggest improvements we’ve seen is with his eating. He’s a picky eater, but they’ve worked patiently with him, and he’s become much more open to trying new foods. They’ve also been so supportive with potty training, which has made a big difference for us at home. The environment is nurturing, inclusive, and full of joy. They celebrate holidays and milestones in such thoughtful and fun ways, making every child feel special and included. I highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a place where their child will be supported, cared for, and truly thrive.
Lisbeth PalmisanoAug 6, 2025My oldest son has been going to little elms since he turned 2 years old he is now 4. He enjoys going. They do art projects, they have playtime outside and much more. The center provides breakfast, lunch, and snacks. I love that they post on their app what breakfast and lunch will be for the week. The director and teachers have great communication with the parents. My youngest now goes to this center and he runs in every morning. I leave knowing my kids will enjoy their day and are in great hands.
