This center is part of the Family Service Association nonprofit network with NAEYC accreditation — one of only eight of their ten centers holding this credential nationally. FSA-Olivewood, located on Olivewood Plaza Drive in Moreno Valley, serves infants from 12 weeks through age 5, with a licensed capacity of 144 children — among the largest in the area. Its developmentally-focused curriculum emphasizes social, emotional, and physical growth through play and exploration, with specific focus on early literacy and problem-solving for preschoolers. The center's staff is noted for being welcoming and friendly, and as a nonprofit mission-driven operation led by Director Flor Martinez, it offers subsidized and sliding-scale care to support families in Riverside County. Open Monday through Friday with healthy meals and snacks provided, the center serves as an accessible option for working families, though availability is income-qualified and the large capacity may appeal less to families seeking a smaller, more intimate setting.
