Childtime Children's Center (Moreno Valley) on Persis Boulevard is a CCLD-licensed full-day center serving infants through school-age children (6 weeks to 12 years) with extended hours 6:30 AM–6:30 PM, Monday through Friday. In operation since 1991, it offers a play-based curriculum with immersive learning tailored to developmental stages, plus optional electives including Spanish, music, and coding. Parent reviews are strong—Yelp's 16 recent reviews praise staff who "go far and above their job description," and ResellerRatings reports 3.92 stars from 38 families, the largest organic review base among Moreno Valley competitors. The center uses the SproutAbout app for live classroom video. As a national chain, staffing models and staff autonomy may differ from independent operators, and recent CCLD licensing records show three Type B citations and a January 2026 complaint investigation, warranting verification of current compliance status.
