Full Ranking Detail
Ages 2–5yrLab SchoolLow-Cost for College Families
RCCD Moreno Valley College ECE Center is an on-campus child care facility operated by Moreno Valley College serving children ages 2 to 5. Licensed by CCLD (#334805424) since 1998 with a capacity of 63, it maintains an exemplary compliance record—all three inspections between 2023 and January 2025 resulted in no citations. As a college lab school, the center benefits from exceptionally trained faculty and advanced student practitioners providing direct care under professional supervision, a staffing model rare in the commercial childcare market. Enrollment prioritizes MVC students, faculty, and staff at low or no cost, though general community access is limited and subject to availability; families benefit from subsidized tuition and free childcare via CCAMPIS Grants for eligible Pell recipients. Operating hours are Monday–Friday, 6:30 AM–5:30 PM, and the center does not serve infants under age 2, which limits options for families needing comprehensive multi-age care.
