Full Ranking Detail
Ages 2.9–5yrIncome-EligibleHead Start
Doyle School Child Development Center is a CCLD-licensed Day Care Center (license #540407099) serving children ages 2.9–5 years in east Porterville, with a mission of fostering "safe learning environment that fosters positive relations and academic excellence." The center maintains an active Head Start program and is income-eligible. Recent inspections from 2023 through February 2026 document active monitoring and compliance. With a modest capacity of 23 slots, limited spots are available, and the absence of public parent reviews means family experience cannot be independently verified. One Type B citation on record also warrants awareness.
