Full Ranking Detail
childcare
CCCDS Stonum Child Development Center is a non-profit childcare provider at 1336 Stonum Rd in Modesto, serving infants through kindergarten-age children in partnership with Central California Child Development Services. Operating since 1995, the center offers full-day Monday–Friday care across multiple program types including Migrant-Seasonal Head Start, Regional Head Start, State-Based Migrant Program, and California State Preschool. A childcarecenter.us reviewer specifically praised teachers in room #2 as exemplary. As an income-qualifying program, enrollment is restricted to eligible families; the absence of a dedicated public website and independent parent reviews limits transparent insight into day-to-day operations beyond the agency's program information.
