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.

Strongly recommend Smiles. This preschool has been in operation over 40 years and has high teacher retention. The curriculum is enriching and the staff is very communicative. It’s also really affordable.
