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.

I trust Natures Edge with both my kiddos. They got excellent care under Ms. Jay and Ms. Amber's supervision! the program offers a very good curriculum based on play, social emotional learning, and a very healthy amount of exposure to the playground. The teachers are kind and supportive of my children and their needs. They partnered with me, as you would expect from a high quality program, to develop goals and support my children. The staff have become a reliable and supportive part of my village!! Thanks for all you do for our kids, NECDC team!
Adriana HowardMar 30, 2026My little one has attended NEDC for two years, and has flourished during her time here! They are so loving and do a great job with activities and keeping the kids engaged and interested. She’s always coming home with new things she learned, and stories of all the fun she had. They have a great amount of outside time- water play during the summer, nature walks through the neighborhood, yoga Thursday, and plenty of time to run and jump and play. They have healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks provided and full transparency over what is given. I love the app we use to communicate with the teachers and they often post photos of our little ones having fun! They have lots of crafts and sensory play- I’m really so happy with our experience here and am so grateful we found this place!
Brittany FooteMar 30, 2026I absolutely lovveeee love love this school! My daughter attended here for 3 years and she really grew from all that she learned. If you’re looking for compassionate, innovative, communicative, CLEAN, accommodating, and proactive staff/school. This is the place! The staff are all so nice and they really do their best for the children.
Stacy MarieSep 25, 2025Since my daughter was 2 years old, our experience at Nature’s Edge Child Development Center has been absolutely wonderful. The teachers are incredibly kind, caring, and supportive, making each day of learning truly special and meaningful. One of the things I love most about this school is how hands-on and creative it is, helping children grow both intellectually and creatively in such a positive way. I would like to give a very special mention to: • Ms. Amber – for her dedication, love, care, creativity, and hard work. • Ms. Samantha – for her creativity that inspires the children to explore and learn, as well as her kindness and love. • Ms. Victoria – for her humor and spontaneity, which always bring joy to the classroom. My daughter always came home with beautiful stories, amazing artwork, and exciting experiences. We will forever cherish these precious memories from this stage of her life. I would also like to highlight Ms. J, the director, who is always attentive, helpful, and responsive to questions and requests. We are deeply grateful for the care, love, and inspiration that Nature’s Edge has provided. It has truly been a wonderful foundation for my daughter’s growth, and the teachers and staff will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you.
Nicholl Velasquez VivasSep 23, 2025We are so grateful our daughter had the opportunity to attend this school. We've truly seen the positive impact it has had on her growth. The consistent communication, both through the Brightwheel app and during pickup, has been especially appreciated. Even when there were behavioral concerns, we valued how the staff addressed them openly so we could work together on solutions. The school's thoughtful food program is another standout feature, especially given the already competitive tuition. As our daughter prepares for kindergarten, we'll deeply miss the flexible hours, the caring staff, and the joy she found here every day. Thank you, NECDC, for nurturing her during such a pivotal time in her life.
Michael NarcisoSep 14, 2025Nature's Edge has been a hugely positive experience for our family. Our kids have made lasting friendships, and we've gotten connected to an amazing community of parents. Everyone at Nature's Edge truly enjoys kids and helping them grow, which is evident in so many ways. I couldn't recommend the place more, especially for the price.
