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 had a truly wonderful experience at this preschool and feel very grateful for the time our children spent there and the memories made here will always hold a special place in our hearts. The staff is exceptional!!! Warm, attentive, and genuinely caring from the very beginning. They take the time to truly know each child as an individual and create a nurturing environment where kids feel safe, supported, and excited to come to school each day. The program is play-based, which we absolutely loved. Children learn through exploration, creativity, and hands-on activities, and it’s amazing to see how naturally they develop social, emotional, and early academic skills in such an engaging setting. PCP is also nationally accredited (NAEYC), which provided us with additional peace of mind knowing it meets high standards for quality, safety, and early childhood education. It is a Christian preschool that thoughtfully weaves in Christian values in a gentle and age-appropriate way. It is inclusive and welcoming, and never overwhelming for families who may not be highly religious or who come from different backgrounds. Overall, PCP offers a great balance of structure, play, and values-based learning, all guided by a deeply caring staff. We would highly recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing, well-rounded first school experience.
Laura Personius HerstadJun 24, 2026We are so lucky to have our kids attend PCP. Highly recommend!
Amy MechtlyDec 30, 2025I highly recommend PCP to any parent looking for a caring and supportive place for their child!! The staff is what makes this place truly exceptional. They genuinely care about each child and create a warm, nurturing environment that fosters a sense of community. We’re going to miss PCP dearly and we’re incredibly thankful for all the amazing memories we've created here.
Harry AlOct 28, 2024School staffs are really loving, friendly and nice. I had a bad impression from the previous preschool because thier teacher was really cold. But all the teachers here are very kind!! I really like this preschool. The director always says a gentle, loving and blessing words to my 2 years old son. I feel my son is loved by teachers and feel safe. Their playground is spacious and full of a variety of themed toys. I highly recommend this preschool to others who is looking for friendly and loving teachers, surroundings!
Sulki ChoiJan 18, 2023Love PCP! The staff is super loving, great with communication and they put so much effort into making a strong educational program for the kids. It’s play based and there’s so much thoughtfulness behind all the fun activities they do! My son has been thriving there and learning how to write letters. I have sent three kids to PCP and have one more kid that will be attending one day, God willing! Love how they pour into the community with a lot of fun events for the family as well!
Samantha SooHoo ZhangApr 7, 2022Sharing Christ's love with the children comes from each person on staff.
