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.
Questions parents ask about STARLIGHT PRESCHOOL CENTER

- Yes. STARLIGHT PRESCHOOL CENTER holds California licence 440710612, currently listed as "CLOSED" by the Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, first issued on October 6, 1993. Confirm current standing with the agency before enrolling.
What kind of child care licence does STARLIGHT PRESCHOOL CENTER hold?

How many children can STARLIGHT PRESCHOOL CENTER care for?
- STARLIGHT PRESCHOOL CENTER is licensed for up to 40 children at one time. Licensed capacity is a ceiling set by the state, not a count of current enrolment or of available places.
How often has California inspected STARLIGHT PRESCHOOL CENTER?
- California records 2 inspection visits to STARLIGHT PRESCHOOL CENTER, the most recent on September 25, 2025 and the earliest on record May 4, 2023. The state publishes the dates of these visits but not what they found, so this count reflects licensing activity, not results. Read the findings themselves in California's own facility search.
Has California visited STARLIGHT PRESCHOOL CENTER in response to a complaint?
- California records no complaint-driven visits to STARLIGHT PRESCHOOL CENTER. 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 STARLIGHT PRESCHOOL CENTER?
- The licence is held by ENCOMPASS COMMUNITY SERVICES. California lists the licensee separately from the facility name, so the two often differ. The facility is in Santa Cruz County.
