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.

What kind of child care licence does SHAFFER PRESCHOOL hold?

How many children can SHAFFER PRESCHOOL care for?

Has California visited SHAFFER PRESCHOOL in response to a complaint?
- California records no complaint-driven visits to SHAFFER PRESCHOOL. That means no concern prompted a visit on the public record, which is not the same as a clean inspection history: the state does not publish what its visits found.
Who holds the licence for SHAFFER PRESCHOOL?
- The licence is held by ATWATER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT. California lists the licensee separately from the facility name, so the two often differ. The facility is in Merced County.
