Full Ranking Detail
Infant CareToddlerFull Day
Family F.O.C.U.S. Whitendale Park Infant/Toddler Center is a CCLD-licensed infant center (#543808930) located at 600 W Beech Avenue in west Visalia, serving infants and toddlers ages birth to 3 years. As a dedicated infant/toddler facility with a small capacity of 12 children, it ensures a high staff-to-child ratio ideal for consistent attentive care; the center operates Monday through Friday and is part of the larger Family F.O.C.U.S. organization that also operates Parkview Preschool in Visalia. The facility has been licensed since July 2016, though inspection records show six Type B citations across 2021–2023, and the center does not participate in subsidized child care programs, which may limit access for some families.
