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.

Recent parent reviews
The teachers genuinely care about and respect each child as an individual. Their lessons are fresh and intentional, guiding the children to become kind, thoughtful, and respectful people. It is not just about academics. It is about shaping whole human beings. My daughter comes home each day with joyful energy, sharing the new songs they sang, how her teachers cared for her, and what she learned. That enthusiasm speaks volumes. I truly could not have dreamed up a better place for my daughter to attend. We feel incredibly grateful to be part of this community.
Arias CollinsMar 3, 2026My daughter went to school here and absolutely loved her experience. Little Saplings was big enough for her to get lots of socialization with other children, but not so big that it's overwhelming or too chaotic. She loved the wide variety of curriculum, from art and music to more academic based activities. The school is also amazing at fostering independence in the children, something that is paying off great now that she is in TK. I can't recommend Little Saplings enough.
Katie BrownAug 22, 2025Our daughter loves it here! Our last day is tomorrow and we have had a fantastic time with all of the staff and other children. Highly recommended!
James WhiteAug 22, 2024Such a great school. My daughter flourished and I will be putting my youngest here when she’s old enough. The teachers are kind while still holding boundaries and they come up with the most amazing activities for the kiddos!
Anna YoppJul 1, 2024This is such a special, wonderful little school. We've watched our daughter's personality bloom during her time here, going from a shy, somewhat introverted child to a kid that's just full of personality. I'm always amazed at the constant flow of activities - the teachers come up with these ideas for hands-on learning that are nothing short of genius. The facilities are bright and clean, play areas are rotated often, and sometimes fun new things tend to "magically appear" over the weekend. Attendance is kept low, and the high teacher-to-student ratio is great for peace of mind. I know our daughter is safe because there are always plenty of watchful eyes. Furthermore, the teachers don't address the children in a childish tone (higher-pitched voice, slower speech, etc). They treat the kids respectfully and the kids learn to treat others the same way. Our family is really going to miss Little Saplings! This has been our first school experience of any kind, and we couldn't have asked for more.
