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 school is amazing. The director, Mrs. Kim, is so loving and nurturing to the kids. She goes above and beyond to make sure that her students are enjoying their time at school. Both of my daughters have attended this school, and I am so happy for that. My older daughter still wants to go up every day when we pick up my youngest to say hi to Mrs. Kim. The teachers are attentive and playful, the kids do projects and assignments that stimulate their bright minds. When I pick up my youngest daughter from school, she’s skipping and smiling. Ms Justine is so sweet, Ms. Karishma too - we saw her out in the wild and she greeted my daughter so warmly, it was obvious that she loves the kids. Mr Malik always gives my daughter a high 5 on her way out. This place is everything you want for your kids. I thank God for Mrs Kim and Merry Go Round every day. If you’re looking for a school that feels like a family this is the place to send your child.

  • My granddaughter started going to Mary Go Round over a year ago,. I fell in love with the staff which treats each child as if they were their own child. They get warm meals they get education they get play time but most of all they get a lot of love.. I do volunteer from time to time at the school and I just love the enthusiasm that the kids have. It's funny because my two nieces went to the same school over 36 years ago. I would recommend this school to anyone that wants a loving environment with positive input to the kids and getting an education. My name is Sheryn Roux. Aka Auntie Sheryn Aka Nonnie ❤️
