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.

We've been sending our 15-month-old son here since he was 9 months, and we love it! We were really lucky to find such a great daycare so close to where we live, and our son loves going there. The teachers are great, they really care about the kids, they send us photo and video updates every day, and they take the kids outside to play a lot. We like that this daycare is bigger than just an in-home daycare with one teacher, but small enough that we still know all the teachers and most of the other kids and parents.
Caitlin KattouwDec 18, 2025We've been sending our son to this daycare for 6 months now, and we love it! The teachers are wonderful, our son loves them (Ms Sasa and Ms Andrea in the infant room are his favorites), they communicate well with us and they do fun activities with the kids. We especially love that MB provides lunch and snacks (many other daycares we looked at don't provide food at all) and that they're very flexible about late drop-off or early pick-up.
Roan KattouwDec 18, 2025The teachers are loving and attentive. They come up with wonderful activity and art-craft ideas. Our little boy learns while having fun and socializing in a caring and protective environment.”
Marie-Gabrielle EtcheparreNov 17, 2025We’ve loved our time at MB Taraval. Teachers Shanna, Andrea, Theresa (Sasa) and the entire staff are wonderful, caring early childhood educators. Meals (lunch and 2 snacks) provided for 2 under. We sent an older sibling to the sister school at Laguna Honda.
Victoria KhamsombathNov 9, 2025We are very happy with Meaningful Beginnings on Taraval. The staff is warm, caring, and professional, and the facilities are excellent. Our son has a great time every day—he’s learning a lot, enjoying fun activities, and getting plenty of outdoor play. The meals are good quality and well-balanced. Overall, we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended!
Nikos SarilakisSep 19, 2025We’ve been with Meaningful Beginnings Daycare since they first opened in the basement of their home, and I can honestly say this has been one of the best decisions for our family. My first child started there years ago, and now as I toured their brand-new location for my second child, I was so impressed to see how much they’ve grown while still keeping the same warm, caring environment that makes them so special. What really stands out is their amazing staff retention. Many of the same teachers who cared for my first child are still here today. That says everything about the kind of supportive, nurturing community they’ve built. The teachers truly go above and beyond for their students, not just providing excellent care but also fostering a sense of belonging and love that feels like an extension of family. Another thing I really appreciate is the flexibility. Their drop-in options and willingness to work with families’ schedules make a huge difference for busy parents. It’s rare to find a daycare that combines such professionalism, consistency, and heart. Meaningful Beginnings isn’t just a daycare—it’s a community. I’m so grateful to have my children grow up here.
