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.

Finding Mariposas fell into our lap at the most perfect time. Our daughter was around 2.5 when we first enrolled her and I am so happy that it has worked out. Our daughter loves going to school every day and if she’s ever given the option to stay home or go to school she chooses to go to school! She loves all her friends and all the teachers there are really loving and supportive! We would definitely recommend this school and wish we found it sooner!
Sarah BaileyMar 19, 2025So glad we found Mariposas! As parents, it’s a hard decision to entrust your child with someone else. After seeing how much our child loves school and hearing her sing a new song or saying a new word/phrase almost every day (in English or Spanish) We couldn’t be happier about our decision of Mariposas. All of the staff are wonderful, welcoming and truly care about kids<3 Staff provide updates throughout the day and share photos of your kids. It’s so reassuring and definitely makes your day getting to see a picture of your child at school happy and learning or doing something new :). For anyone looking for preschool for their child I can’t recommend Mariposas enough! Staff go above and beyond to ensure learning is fun 😊
Gema AlvarezJun 19, 2024We enrolled my 2 year old at Mariposas a month ago and it has been amazing. My daughter has been in daycare since 5 months old and was previously at another MH facility. After some concerning changes we decided to pull her out and move her to Mariposas. The transition was quite the adjustment, but Ms. Vanessa was so nurturing, and showered our girl with so much love while providing us with constant updates. The growth in her speech in such a short time has been mind blowing. I notice an overall improvement in her demeanor after school. She is always so happy, has so much to say, and constantly asks about Ms. Vanessa when not there. I highly recommend them. It offers such a personal community vibe. I love that the ages are combined and all the kids can learn from one another. Not a single bad thing to say!
Katie KeayJun 18, 2024We feel so fortunate to have found Mariposa’s Preschool for our 3 year old daughter! The director and staff have created a caring, creative, and fun environment that supports learning through play. Our daughter looks forward to school daily and I have really appreciated the communication and effort put in by the teachers each day.

What kind of child care licence does MARIPOSAS PRESCHOOL hold?
- California licenses MARIPOSAS PRESCHOOL as a day care center, a category that covers preschool-age children in a centre-based programme. The category comes from the state's own licence record, not from the provider.
How many children can MARIPOSAS PRESCHOOL care for?
- MARIPOSAS PRESCHOOL is licensed for up to 51 children at one time. Licensed capacity is a ceiling set by the state, not a count of current enrolment or of available places.
How often has California inspected MARIPOSAS PRESCHOOL?
- California records 3 inspection visits to MARIPOSAS PRESCHOOL, the most recent on July 23, 2026 and the earliest on record September 12, 2024. The state publishes the dates of these visits but not what they found, so this count reflects licensing activity, not results. Read the findings themselves in California's own facility search.
Has California visited MARIPOSAS PRESCHOOL in response to a complaint?
- California records no complaint-driven visits to MARIPOSAS PRESCHOOL. That means no concern prompted a visit on the public record, which is not the same as a clean inspection history: the state does not publish what its visits found.
Who holds the licence for MARIPOSAS PRESCHOOL?
- The licence is held by BRIGHT EXPLORERS. California lists the licensee separately from the facility name, so the two often differ. The facility is in Santa Clara County.
