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 preschool is such a great gem! My two children have both attended LSP and they've both had such a wonderful experience. The teachers are very special and they go all out to make the children feel like family. They have such a great connection with the community. They even potty trained our little ones which was such a huge bonus for us! This preschool should be at the top of any new families who are looking to start their little ones in preschool.

  • Our son attended Little Sprouts, and it was amazing. The teachers really cared about the kids, sought to understand their social emotional needs, and nurtured them. We can’t say enough about this school!

  • We sent our son to Little Sprouts Preschool for a couple of years and we couldn't have been happier with the level of care and love there. The teachers are absolutely wonderful, especially teacher Zugeyli. They form a genuine bond with each child and take the time to understand their unique personalities, needs, and quirks. It's clear that the environment is full of love. The campus is always very clean, smells great, beautifully maintained, and full of flowers. It's also gated with a passcode entry, which gives us great peace of mind knowing our child is safe. The curriculum strikes a good balance between academics and emotional development. Our child comes home singing songs, talking about letters and numbers, and even telling us how he's learning to manage "big feelings." They integrate dance and music. I love hearing my son sing songs that he has learned at home. They really do prepare them well for kindergarten and beyond. The staff goes above and beyond to help parents connect and build relationships, which has been so valuable to us as a family. I've met some friends there and now that he's in TK, I'm looking forward to going to the little sprouts reunion events because he misses his friends so much. One nice surprise is how fun they make holiday celebrations. Easter egg hunts, fall festivals with carnival like games, making birthdays feel extra special with decorations and the kids getting involved in surprises. The tuition is very reasonable and flexible depending on how many hours you need. You get to decide how many hours you need and it correlates with the price. My son will be back during the summer since they open the school up for elementary kids to play there during summer break. It's an incredible value for the quality of care and education they provide. This place is a gem, and we feel so lucky to have found it.

  • This is such a sweet preschool in Oakland! My son loved attending Little Sprouts and we were so grateful to have found such a safe and nurturing space for him. They have many fun activities, toys, and great outdoor play space. The teachers are kind, loving, and communicative.

    Josie de MiraSep 24, 2025
  • All my three kids graduated from Little Sprouts! Zugeyli creates such an amazingly warm and compassionate environment not only for the children but also the parents. Little Sprouts is a beautiful community.

Has California visited LITTLE SPROUTS PRESCHOOL in response to a complaint?
