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.

Our daughter Eleanor is just finishing 3 years at SEA, and heading off to TK. We have had the most incredible preschool experience at SEA, particularly this last year with Ms. Tammy and Ms. Paige in the Dolphin class! Our daughter was excited to go to school every day, and the amount of growth and learning we saw in her was incredible. Ms. Tammy and Ms. Paige really went the extra mile. Whether it was learning all about outer space with the Artemis mission (a favorite in our house) or hatching baby chicks in the spring, these awesome ladies always had something exciting going on that fostered a positive and fun learning environment. We will miss the Dolphins - and SEA!!
Katie SvatosJun 9, 2026We had a wonderful experience at Scripps Exploring Academy, especially in the Dolphins class with Miss Paige and Ms. Tammy. Our daughter loved going to school and seeing her friends everyday. She grew so much during her time there. She gained academic skills along with confidence, independence, and social skills. Miss Paige and Ms. Tammy are caring, patient, and supportive teachers who created a warm environment where the kids could learn and thrive. We’re so grateful for everything they’ve done and will miss being part of the Dolphins class!
GaryJun 9, 2026My daughter has been with SEA for the past 2+ years and I can't speak highly enough of the care, the love, the support SEA has given us. The teachers, directors, and support staff love Annie like she' their own and that philosophy is felt to the core. Particularly, Annie has been with Miss Tammy and Miss Paige this past year in Dolphins and these two teachers have been immensely valuable in supporting Annie's development. Beyond that, they've also helped me build my own confidence as a parent, which has only strengthened and supported my connection with Annie. We'll greatly miss SEA and will forever be part of the family. 10/10 recommend!!
Kelly GrimesMay 29, 2026Our son has been at SEA since the Sea Turtles class, and honestly, it's been the best experience ever. We were nervous parents worrying about COVID and dealing with multiple food allergies, but the staff assured us everything would be okay, and they were absolutely right. Every single teacher our son has had truly loves kids and has been so attentive and caring. He's loved every minute there, and so have we as parents. The TK Sharks program blew us away! He started reading and writing, and they prepared him so well for kindergarten. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Huge shout out to the front office who always brighten our mornings: Ms. Taylor, Ms. Christine, and Ms. Theresa. We love walking in and saying hi! And to all his amazing teachers over the years: Ms. Dianne, Ms. Ginger, Ms. Tammy, Ms. Christy, Ms. Barbie, Ms. Erin, Ms. Madi, Mr. Nick, Ms. Carmen, Ms. Julie, Ms. Paige, Ms. Suko, Ms. Priscilla, and Ms. Parvin. You've all made such a huge impact on his life. We appreciate you all so much! SEA has become like a second home to us. Cannot recommend enough to other parents looking for a loving, caring place for their little ones.
Jay GiangAug 26, 2025We have 2 kids that were at SEA for 3 years and we are so grateful for them. Everybody here from the staff to the teachers are amazing. Our kids loved them all and they loved our kids back. The classroom environment made the transition to kindergarten so easy because they were so well prepared. The hardest part about going to this school was leaving!
Garrett HorwitzNov 1, 2024We are so grateful to SEA for the wonderful care they provide for our kid. As new parents, it was hard to imagine leaving our little one in someone else's care, but SEA made the transition so smooth and reassuring! The staff at SEA are incredibly attentive and genuinely care about the well-being of every child. My kid came back home with a big smile on her face every day :D Thank you, SEA, for creating a safe, clean, and happy environment where kids can flourish! Highly recommended!
