Full Ranking Detail

Wanda's Daycare Center is an Apple Valley community provider with over 30 years of continuous operation under CCLD license #364800148, serving children ages 2 through school age in a small, intimate setting of 35 children on Symeron Road. Yelp reviews reflect strong parent satisfaction, with one long-term parent noting comfort with the center's emphasis on education and safety. The center operates as private-pay only without subsidized-program participation, and does not serve infants—factors that limit accessibility for some families. A single negative Yelp voice and the center's limited online presence warrant direct inquiry for families considering enrollment.
