OCS St. Edward Preschool is a CCLD-licensed Catholic preschool at 500 Merrill Street in Corona, serving children ages 3–6 with a distinctive Spanish immersion curriculum. Operating since 1989 with a current capacity of 48 children and year-round hours (6:00 AM–6:00 PM), the center offers inclusive programming for children with special needs and maintains full compliance with its most recent CCLD inspection in September 2025. Families should note that the Catholic faith-based curriculum is integral to the program, making it most suitable for families seeking faith-informed education; however, no public parent reviews are available to independently verify the experience, and the limited-openings scenario of a 48-capacity facility with year-round enrollment means interested families should inquire about availability well in advance.
