Full Ranking Detail
PreschoolSchool AgeFull DaySpanish Immersion
Camp Hutchins Child Care Center is a CCLD-licensed, not-for-profit preschool and school-age program operated by Adventist Health Lodi Memorial Hospital at 125 South Hutchins Street in Lodi, CA, serving children ages 3–12. Operating since 2006 with a capacity of 53, it offers Spanish immersion bilingual instruction and an unusual amenity in its on-site indoor swimming pool for preschoolers. Extended weekday hours (6:30 AM–6:00 PM) accommodate working families, and staff training in inclusive care welcomes children with special needs. The facility's health system affiliation supports rigorous safety standards. Notably, no infant or toddler program is available, and the hospital campus setting may present access constraints during busy clinical hours—prospective families should verify fit for their needs.
