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 daughter is in her 3rd and final year at Shepherd of the Valley preschool. She will be starting TK at her big sister’s elementary school next year. We are so sad to leave because it is such a wonderful school. My daughter spent four months at another unnamed preschool and was so unhappy, and I felt like she was neglected. The school has been incredible and she has truly thrived. At her last preschool, she didn’t really talk much. Even at home she was pretty quiet. But she’s been at the school for three years now and she is such a social butterfly. Her vocabulary is astounding to me. She’s able to write her name, write most of her numbers, one through 10, and is able to identify both capital and lowercase letters. It’s a wonderful community as well. I’m they have so many wonderful school events, the staff is so attentive and kind, it really feels like a small family. They are a Lutheran school, but that literally does not affect my child whatsoever. We are Roman Catholic and they don’t push religion on them. They do sing a few like cute religious songs and they do attend chapel once a week on Wednesdays, but I know other families of other faiths that are there and still absolutely love it. I’ll stop there because I’m not gonna keep going on and on about how wonderful the school is. Just believe me when I say it’s truly a wonderful school. They accept students as young as 18 months old. They always have events open to the public and the community so check it out. Or schedule a tour. This is literally just coming from my own heart. I was not asked to write this. They don’t even know I’m writing this, but I just really truly love the school.
Natalie FreemanMar 13, 2025Our music school has had a wonderful time collaborating with the folks at SoV! They have hosted our toddler classes in Founders Hall, and more recently our Winter 2024 Student Showcase in the church. Wendy, Suzi, and Chip are so helpful and welcoming, and we look forward to collaborating more as our school grows!

Tony VanMeeterenSep 29, 2024My eldest went here for two years with a brief month out at another preschool. We came back, she did so well here. The teachers & staff are friendly as they exceptional. The grounds are spacious for the kids to play on the playground as well as soccer and tag. Love this school!!
Robert ColburnMay 20, 2019SOV did a wonderful job preparing my daughter for Kindergarten. We are going into this new school year confident that SOV gave her the right tools to succeed. The teachers were sweet and caring. The staff was friendly and knew everyone by name. While we were sad that our time came to an end we were also happy for the time we had there. My daughter walked away with some amazing friendships that will last a lifetime! We are forever grateful for SOV!
Danielle JimenoJul 10, 2018My son has been at SOV for two years and he loves it. The teachers are great. The school has a friendly staff that really care for the kids. He has learned a ton. He knows all his letters, numbers, days of the week and more. We are so happy we selected SOV! He is also attending summer camp and he gets so excited on Thursday because it's waterslide day!
