California records 0 routine inspection visits and no visits prompted by a complaint to SAFARI KID - HAYWARD EAST.
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 attended the 10-week Summer Camp program at Safari Kid Downtown Hayward, and we had a great experience! He is in 2nd grade and genuinely looked forward to going each day. The summer program had a nice variety of activities that kept him engaged, learning, and having fun throughout the summer. He made friends, enjoyed his teachers, and always had something new to tell us when he came home. One thing we especially appreciated was the lunch program. They served lunches from Tiny Tiffins, with a good variety of meals and healthy options. My son really enjoyed trying the different foods, and it was also very convenient for us as parents. Overall, we had a wonderful 10 weeks and are very happy with our experience at Safari Kid Downtown Hayward. I would definitely recommend their summer camp program to families looking for a fun, engaging, and well-rounded program for their kids!
Tashi GargAug 9, 2026We toured Safari Kid Downtown Hayward last week to enroll our 2 years old. We signed up with them for their toddler program. We were really impressed with their brand new facility and curriculum they have for early development. The owners were very nice and provided in-depth information about everything. They also provide nutritious lunch meals without charging extra. Super impressed so far!
Diane SmithMay 4, 2026It’s only been about a month, but we’ve already had such a positive experience with Safari Kid. The onboarding process was super smooth and the online portal keeps us updated on our child’s daily activities, which we love. The facility is brand new, clean, and very secure, with cameras in every room for added peace of mind. The teachers and director are incredibly caring and hands-on, and you can tell they’re truly invested in the kids. Our little one is really enjoying it, and we’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great preschool!
Garima GoyalApr 27, 2026Amazing preschool with caring teachers and a warm, welcoming environment. My child has learned so much and looks forward to going every day. The staff is supportive, patient, and truly focused on each child’s growth. Highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for the best start for their little one!
