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.

Highly recommend Sacred Heart Preschool! We absolutely love everyone that has taught and taken care of my son over the past few years. They feel like home every time I drop my son off. Really there's so many wonderful things to say about them!
KrystalAug 22, 2025I write this review on the eve of my daughter’s graduation from SHAP. It is so bittersweet as I’m so excited for her next chapter but I will really miss the preschool experience. Fortunately, I have two preschoolers attending SHAP so it’s not goodbye for good yet! The teachers, staff, and the director, Ms. Rebecca, are truly exceptional people. You can tell they really love what they do! The level of care, kindness, and compassion towards the children really shows as my kids love going to school. I know my kids are happy, safe, nurtured and challenged. Both of my kids started SHAP at 2 years old (just babies!) in the Little Explorers class with Ms. Liz and Ms. Lori. They have progressed and grown so much (emotionally, cognitively and socially) and I’m beyond proud of them. I can’t even take credit for potty training my kids as the amazing teachers and staff are really the ones that helped accomplish this milestone. The school also offers extra-curricular activities that my kids love participating in. We have done Soccer Shots, Amazing Athletes, Kinder Dance and Religion. I also really love the Brightwheel app. As a full-time working mom it is so nice to get glimpses of my kids’ day via pictures, updates, posting of curriculums and messages of what our kiddos are up to. It truly takes a village to raise children and we truly feel blessed to be a part of the SHAP community. On a side note, I opted to keep my kids at SHAP when they could have gone to UTK—I think that says a lot about how I feel about this little amazing preschool!
Jillian LeahyJun 16, 2023We have been attending Sacred Heart Academy Preschool for the last 8 years with our 3 children. They are family and I can’t think of a better place for them to learn and grow. The school places an emphasis on play but still challenging them with skills for kinder such as scissor work, spatial relations, numbers, sight words, etc. Miraculously, they had my kids potty trained pretty much within a week. Most importantly my kids have learned social skills that have made them confident, empathetic, and kind that have carried them far as they easily transitioned to elementary school. I know I will be in tears as my youngest graduates this summer as it is a truly magical place that has had so much of an impact on our children’s lives.
Tricia GrayJun 7, 2023Sacred Heart Academy Preschool (SHAP) is truly a gem of a school. The teachers, classrooms, director - everything about them is amazing. The curriculum truly prepared our twin daughters for kindergarten so much so that their new school visited SHAP to commend them on their education and ask that more of their students be funneled to their school once kids are ready for kinder. We will miss the staff, school, and friends dearly next year!
Jennifer Noveras HorchakJun 5, 2023I am very pleased and happy I found Sacred Heart Academy Preschool. The Teachers and staff are very patient, friendly, and full of integrity. They sincerely love their work and give love to all children while teaching goodness and right from wrong. The facility is big and open with tons of outdoor activities and even an outdoor lunch area. They always keep communications open and actually use the Brightwheel app for updates everyday. I am very pleased to have found SHAP!
Andrea SedwickJun 1, 2023My son loves going to Sacred Heart! He is 3.5 years old and has made fast friends and loves his teachers! Be prepared for play dates and birthday parties! Sacred Heart takes a whole approach to caring and educating your little one! From building their creative skills through daily arts and crafts which come home refrigerator ready, to getting them prepared to be successful in kindergarten. On top of that the kids spend a good amount of time outside on the school’s playground running around and playing on the converged play structure, or the cars and tricycles the kids can drive! Another aspect I love is that the school involves the parents in numerous activities, events, and holidays. I am looking forward to Donuts with Dad this upcoming Father's Day! Bottom line, if you are looking for a school where you little can thrive, look no further!
