PreschoolIncome-EligiblePart DayYear-Round
Hanford Learning Center is a CCLD-licensed day care center (license #163808648, capacity 45) operated by Educare Services, Inc., a Central California non-profit established in 2010. The center serves ages 3–5 with a curriculum-based approach delivered through half-day programs (7:45–11:00 AM and 12:00–3:00 PM), and accepts income-based sliding-scale fees while providing meals for enrolled children. Staff are noted in Yelp reviews for their engaging, individualized approach. The most recent CCLD facility evaluation was conducted in March 2025. Prospective families should note that half-day programming is the standard offering here—those requiring full-day care will need to supplement coverage elsewhere.
