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.

Probably the best care you'll receive for your kids in Marin! The entire staff is communicative and caring. There's trips to the library, nature walks, field trips and so much more! Your child will learn so much while having lots of fun!
Abigail TFeb 16, 2024Full disclosure: My daughter doesn't go to SAP yet, but I just got back from my tour and was blown away by the facilities and the kindness of the staff. In fact, in just the 45 minutes I was there I learned two brilliant tricks from Elizabeth, the Executive Director, about how to get my toddler to a) clean up after activities and b) walk, not run, indoors! I've been on the "preschool tour circuit" for the past two weeks and have pretty much seen every school in the area. SAP outshone them by far. The animals! The courtyard! The diversity of the students! We will absolutely be applying. Instead of feeling anxious about preschool I'm actually EXCITED.
Marian SchembariJun 7, 2019Both of my little munchkins were and still is lucky enough to attend SAPS in San Anselmo. From top to bottom they have the best caring staff you can find. They make you feel like family and their experience gives me great piece of mind that my daughter is in great hands.
cristiano marcondesApr 25, 2019San Anselmo Preschool (SAPS) is a place that celebrates a child’s individuality and creativity. They are a play based preschool that really brings joy to teaching a learning. I have my daughter there and I feel so confident and comfortable leaving her in the hands of the fantastic staff. She absolutely loves going to school and as a parent, I feel supported and in a partnership with her teachers. I love being part of the SAPS community and would recommend it highly!!
Gretchen CastetsApr 24, 2019To say I was nervous about our little guy starting preschool would be an understatement. But from the very first morning at San Anselmo Preschool (SAPS), he has been stoked to walk in the doors, and I have felt confident that he is being lovingly cared for by the amazing teachers. He is always coming home having learned new songs, or completed a fun art project, and can't wait to go back the next day. It is a really special place to watch him grow and we are so grateful we found it!
Jessica ScottApr 20, 2019I have one graduate and one current student. The staff is caring and attentive. My son’s favorite place is the science room with the live animals! This school has been a big part of both of my children’s lives and we are happy we found it.
