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.

According to an experience I read on Facebook, polliwog play school could be an extremely dangerous place for children (if allegations are true). People should be aware of these allegations.
Osakashi1993Apr 25, 2026As a mother to a toddler and someone who grew up in a household impacted by addiction, I feel it is important to share information that may affect the safety and well-being of children. I recently came across deeply concerning public allegations regarding the leadership of this school and their handling of serious family safety issues. While I cannot personally verify these claims, the nature of the information—including photos and detailed accounts—is enough for me to feel that I could not comfortably trust this environment with my child. I believe parents have a right to be aware of these public discussions so they can make their own informed decisions. For me, the risk is simply too high when it comes to our kids.
Nicole CoutureApr 25, 2026Pollywog is a great place for kids to spend their days. My son made many friends there and they taught him social skills and kindergarten prep. The Staff are some of my boys favorite people
Kaleb KnightDec 12, 2025I have been taking my 2 kids to Pollywogs since 2016. My oldest and youngest both enjoyed Pollywogs. They learned and created wonderful memories here. As time flew by this play school has expanded and remodeled their property. Staff has always been very kind and helpful. As of now both my kids are in school. I would like to say Pollywogs is a fun and healthy place for children. Pollywogs will always hold a small part of my kids ❤️
Jhoana PerezNov 13, 2025When we moved from San Diego to Fort Bragg, I was so nervous about finding the right place for our daughter. We wanted somewhere she would feel comfortable, make friends, and actually look forward to going every day — and that’s exactly what we found with Deanna and her wonderful program. From the very beginning, Deanna and her amazing teachers made our daughter feel right at home. She absolutely adored her teachers and all the other kids. Every afternoon she’d come home excited to tell us about her day — gardening, music, art projects, and even feeding the chickens! I also really appreciated how much care went into the meals. The kids were always served healthy, delicious food, and it was clear that Deanna put a lot of love and thought into everything she did. We feel so lucky to have found Polliwog. Our daughter thrived there, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend to any family looking for a warm, nurturing environment for their little one!
Diane RochesterOct 26, 2025I absolutely love this playschool for my children. I've never had any doubts or concerns about the staff or the facility in a whole. I highly recommend polliwog playschool for any age appropriate child.
