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.

Great teachers. Super thankful with all the staff. My son started when he was one. He has been well educated, he was potty trained. I couldn't be more happier. I really recommend this school for your child.
Valerie ValdezAug 14, 2026HORRIBLE DONT ENROLL YOUR CHILDREN HERE!!!!! my daughter suffered 2 fractures to her arm under the care of 2 incompetent “teachers” they never called me to inform me of the severity of her fall nor took her to the nurses office nor called a nurse to come make sure she was ok , I took the initiative to pick her up early and when I arrived my daughter was hysterically crying with a bruise on her fore head and a clearly visible broken arm!!!! I rushed her to the emergency room and not once did they apologize nor showed any compassion towards the situation they just said “let us know when she will be returning “ I would never let my daughter return after this horrible incident! And mind you it was only her second week at this head start. Fast forward now that she can speak she is TRAUMATIZED and doesn’t want to attend school because she is afraid of a teacher “hitting her” !!!!!!
ivania alfaroMay 9, 2026My son did so well here, he learned so much and I absolutely loved his teachers Ms Elizabeth and Ms Isabel. They’re the type of teachers who really care and go above and beyond. We were very lucky to be in their classroom. I wish he could have stayed here after 3 years old.
