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 is not my real name under this account but let me tell you. so for years my children went here and when issues came up they were taken care of but i wasnt the parent to stay quite at all. But after the years went by the staff just became tired. The owner makes it so difficult for the teachers with the hours and stability, they ended up looking exhausted. Sadly they good teachers left. They have different locations so i moved my child to a different one and the director who goes by Mel or Lisa and asian woman was very disrespectful. She even went to the extent on messaging me with threats thinking that i was afraid of her. So while my child was still enrolled they said they would do an investigation but once i left then the stopped. I knew the people at the main office to the owner. Crazy how they try to put things under the rug, thank God i got my children records from them, because i never believed the owner was so irresponsible. The way the teachers complaint of how, the owner rejects their requests, doesnt care to do anything to work with the teachers to make the daycare better for the children, i guess she is just a gritty *******. Dont bother taking your children here. I feel bad for the teachers, the staff and the children.

  • Yo..... por mi experiencia personal no recomiendo este lugar para la educación de sus hijos. Por Las siguientes razones.... *Cambian de maestras constantemente * Obligan a los Niños a dormirse a la hora de dormir o a estar en silencio total hasta que los otros niños despierten. *exageran las cosas a la hora de hacer reportes *las maestras racistas y mentirosas. *cuando un niño se porta mal lo mandan para el frente donde están las computadoras y teléfono. Donde creo q no es un lugar correcto para un castigo. *pides explicaciones y no te dan una respuesta concreta y en vez de imbestigar porque la actitud de los niños,su primera opción es expulsarlos de la escuela y al final es solo culpa del niño. Yo metí a esa escuela a mi niña,ella era una niña muy dulce y obediente cuando entro,después se volvió una niña agresiva y con mucho miedo a una maestra cuyo nombre es Bree Carson,ella le tenia un pavor a ella,y siempre decía q ella era mala,habla varias veces con la directora de eso y solo ok vamos a ver. Llegaba a mi casa mordida y con moretones y según ellas no sabían nada,iba yo a decirles de las mordidas y entre las maestras se daban diferentes berciones, a mi niña la sacaron de la escuela por un comportamiento malo,pero lo raro de todo esto es que ella solo tenía ese comportamiento cuando esa maestra estaba. Hicieron lo mismo con otra compañera de mi hija. Y una persona que trabaja en el centro dice q aveces pasan cosas fuera de orden ahí. Para mi es ilógico q una niña de 4 años le tenga pavor a una maestra y se refiera a ella como “ella no me gusta,porque ella es mala persona” y lo peor aún es que la escuela lo sabe y no hacen nada.Yo en lo personal no lo recomiendo.
