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.

Recent parent reviews
We love Upward Bound. Our son is well loved and always comes home happy and confident. I’ve always been able to reach the director with concerns and questions or add days when we need help with childcare. The school is very organized and professional.
Aaron PankratzMay 6, 2019Upward Bound is a great preschool! Our son has been attending there for two years and we've decided to forego Transitional Kindergarten so that he can stay at Upward Bounds another year. At Upward Bound each child is taught and cared for as though they are their own children/grandchildren. Knowing that our son is in good hands is priceless. Thank you to each teacher and the director, Deborah, who has poured in to our son so that he will enter kindergarten with confidence.
Rose VernonMay 6, 2019Both of my boys attend(ed) Upward Bound. What a great group of teachers and caring staff. My family and I have appreciated the love and nurturing support that they have given us over the years as a student and a parent. Highly recommend this school if you are looking for half day or full day options, with lots of creative scheduling options and very reasonable prices compared to others in the area.
Echo MosesmanMay 6, 2019Great teachers and awesome learning environment for youngsters

What kind of child care licence does UPWARD BOUND PRE-SCHOOL hold?

How many children can UPWARD BOUND PRE-SCHOOL care for?
- UPWARD BOUND PRE-SCHOOL is licensed for up to 60 children at one time. Licensed capacity is a ceiling set by the state, not a count of current enrolment or of available places.

- California records 3 inspection visits to UPWARD BOUND PRE-SCHOOL, the most recent on May 14, 2025 and the earliest on record December 1, 2021. 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 UPWARD BOUND PRE-SCHOOL in response to a complaint?
- California records no complaint-driven visits to UPWARD BOUND PRE-SCHOOL. 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 UPWARD BOUND PRE-SCHOOL?
- The licence is held by LUTHERAN CHURCH OF OUR SAVIOR. California lists the licensee separately from the facility name, so the two often differ. The facility is in Santa Barbara County.
