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 have been very impressed with the quality of learning my child has received at little orchard preschool! All of the teachers are so sweet and and have helped my son come out of his shell. I can tell they really care about each of their students and love what they do. I would highly recommend this preschool.
Ann FrostMar 23, 2017We had our daughter enrolled at Challenger for a little over a year. We were pretty happy with them for the most part, but she didn't seem to be progressing as much as promised there, and for the money we were paying we were concerned. It was also quite a drive for a preschool, so we began researching and going around "shopping" for schools. My husband is very pro private school, and after looking into A few Montessori schools and a few other private schools, we still weren't finding what we wanted. The moment my husband came to this school with me, we knew there was a perfect fit for us. The owner of Little Orchard Preschool has her masters degree in education, and is Montessori trained. She worked for Montessori for a time, and branched off and started her own program. My husband and I feel like it's a perfect cross between Montessori and Challenger: incorporating the Montessori reading method while embracing structure like challenger offers and the kids know what to expect each day. Our daughter is SO happy at this school and the best part is: it's AFFORDABLE!!! I would recommend this school to everyone! I feel like Little Orchard truly helps each child progress at their own pace. At the same time they foster independence and creativity; and encourage, and allow them to learn the social skills acceptable, to help them transition into elementary school!
