Extracurriculars6
Strengths

Considerations
- A third-party safety-grading site assigned this location a below-average grade (D, composite 62.5/100), citing state inspection records that note 21 violations; parents may wish to review the current licensing status and inspection history directly through the California CCLD facility portal.
- Yellow Pages 5-star rating comes from very limited review base — insufficient to offset safety inspection concerns
- Prospective families should carefully review most recent CCLD inspection report before enrolling (last inspection November 2025)
