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.

My son used to attend a daycare right next door, but after going through three different teachers in just one year, we decided to move him to Panda Bear and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made for my child. Panda Bear is truly a “hidden gem” The teamwork among the staff is amazing. What really stands out to me is that every teacher seems to know and care about all the children, regardless of which classroom they’re in. It gives the school such a warm, connected, and safe feeling. The school is also extremely organized, well-managed, and incredibly clean. Since switching to Panda Bear, my son hasn’t gotten sick once in an entire year, which honestly says a lot to me! I’m so grateful we found this school. Thank you, Panda Bear, for taking such wonderful care of our children! ❤️
