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
The Willows is more than a preschool - it's a deeply thoughtful, nurturing, and magical place for children to grow. As a mostly outdoor, Reggio Emilia-inspired school, The Willows truly honors the natural rhythms of childhood. The teachers meet kids exactly where they are developmentally, with so much respect, patience, and intention. Learning here isn't rushed - it's guided by curiosity, joy, and connection. Over the two years our son attended, he was deeply loved, understood, and supported by a team of teachers who are as skilled as they are warm. He flourished there. Under their gentle, intentional guidance, we saw his social-emotional growth blossom in the most beautiful ways. They didn't just teach, they built relationships. They created a safe, joyful space for him to discover his voice, his confidence, and his love of learning. We feel so lucky to have had these early years rooted in a place that so fully sees and respects the whole child. The Willows will always hold a special place in our hearts.
