Full Ranking Detail
Infant CareToddlerPreschoolFull DayChristian
Zion Child Care Center at 105 South Ham Lane in southeast Lodi is a CCLD-licensed center serving infants from 6 weeks through preschool age, with a capacity of 36 children and Christian-environment programming. Operating since 2009 with open weekdays 7:00 AM--5:30 PM, the center provides developmentally appropriate activities and has drawn praise from at least one parent for friendly staff and strong learning opportunities across infant and toddler care. However, CCLD inspection records from 2022--2025 document multiple complaint investigations and Type B citations; families should review these public records carefully, and limited capacity (36 children) means extended waitlists.
