Full Ranking Detail
Ages Pre-KKindergarten PrepDowntown Madera
Full Circle Pre-Kindergarten Learning Center in downtown Madera is a CCLD-licensed center (#203808381) operated by an independent owner focused exclusively on kindergarten readiness. Licensed since 2007 with a clean regulatory record—zero citations across two CCLD inspections in 2016 and 2019—the program serves 34 children with a curriculum explicitly designed to prepare them for kindergarten success. Parent feedback confirms that children who attended were well-prepared for entry, and the personalized, owner-operated approach allows responsiveness to families' early education priorities. As a pre-K-only program with limited hours, families needing full-day infant or school-age care should verify hours directly; it would also be prudent to request current compliance verification given no recent CCLD inspections since 2019.
