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 LOVE this school! My daughter started at MCPC's Toddler Playtime Program right after they re-opened during the pandemic. The Toddler program is for kids 18 - 36 months old and they get to play with so many different activities around the school. Someone has to stay with the child during the class so it was great watching her explore and learn how things work. She loved the toddler program so much that she wanted to continue to their preschool. This is now her second year at the school and she still loves going to school every morning. One other thing that is so great about this school is that the Director and Board provide parent education before our morning work day meetings and at the General Meetings. I've learned so much and I feel like I've grown as a parent as well! This is a cooperative preschool, so there is a lot of work involved. But honestly, it's really rewarding because I got to watch my daughter grow up into this amazing, confident, and independent little girl. She is so ready for Kindergarten, despite her speech delay. Having my daughter go to this preschool was our best decision! The other parents at this preschool have grown with me, and we've all become part of this community. We all can lean on each other whenever we need anything, or even when we want to go on vacations! This school, its Toddler and Preschool programs, the teachers and its community are amazing!
Alaina DifuntorumJan 30, 2024Both our girls went through MCPC, we cannot say enough good things about the school. The teachers are the best around, the play based philosophy has helped our kids thrive and we have learned a lot as parents through the coaching and support of the community. Being part of a co-op is hard work, but I am glad we put in the effort: it is paying off big time as our kids are graduating preschool being experts at conflict resolution, using all the social-emotional tools they have been taught to use and being all around happy kids ! If you have time to put in the work DO IT!!!
