Licensing visits on record
California records 0 routine inspection visits and no visits prompted by a complaint to PILGRIM CHILDREN'S CENTER.
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.

Nothing but great things to say so far about Pilgrims Center. The staff is awesome, facilities are great and our son seems to really enjoy his time there. Love the constant updates during the day from the app as well. Highly recommend!
branden berryJul 30, 2026Love this place. Home away from home. Vintage grandma’s house vibes!
Christina NyeMar 10, 2026We sent both of our children from the ages of 2 to 4 to Pilgrim and we cannot speak highly enough of the school. It is such a warm/homey environment, and the teachers are so incredibly loving and caring--Miss Katia, Miss Sarah, and Miss Karina have such special places in our hearts. The school is play-based so the kids have many opportunities to explore various activities at their own pace, to use their imaginations, to play outside for a significant amount of time each day. Though the school is at a church, there is no religious curriculum, which our family preferred. Our children loved the school and were always so happy at the end of the day. We can't recommend Pilgrim enough!
Ashley OlsenAug 4, 2025Pilgrim is such a special place. Our daughter has been here from ages 2-4 and not only have we loved the caring staff, but have been so impressed with her developmental progress since starting here. Any time I have dropped her off late or picked her up at an odd time, the kids are always either playing outside on one of the playgrounds–teachers engaged as well–or participating in activities with the teachers like a reading circle or art project. We're so grateful for the years we've had with them and always recommend them for anyone looking for care.
Meg EmbreeAug 1, 2025We love Pilgrim! Our son has been going for 7 months and he loves it. The teachers, the activities, the programing and the culture is so cheerful, welcoming and exactly what we were looking for. Cannot recommend it more!
Bridget AskelsonJul 31, 2025We love it here. Both of my children attend Pilgrim and we couldn’t ask for a better program. The teachers are wonderful, and the experience they give to the children is priceless.

What kind of child care licence does PILGRIM CHILDREN'S CENTER hold?
- California licenses PILGRIM CHILDREN'S CENTER as a single licensed child care center, a category that covers infant, preschool and school-age care under a single licence. The category comes from the state's own licence record, not from the provider.
How many children can PILGRIM CHILDREN'S CENTER care for?

Has California visited PILGRIM CHILDREN'S CENTER in response to a complaint?
- California records no complaint-driven visits to PILGRIM CHILDREN'S CENTER. That means no concern prompted a visit on the public record, which is not the same as a clean inspection history: the state does not publish what its visits found.
Who holds the licence for PILGRIM CHILDREN'S CENTER?
- The licence is held by PILGRIM CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH (UNITED CHURCH...). California lists the licensee separately from the facility name, so the two often differ. The facility is in San Diego County.
