Catalyst Kids - Oak Meadows is a CCLD-licensed, nonprofit center-based provider at 28600 Poinsettia St in Murrieta, serving children ages TK/Kindergarten through school age with before and after school programs plus full summer camp curriculum. Operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization aligns staff incentives with child outcomes rather than profit; the center is conveniently located at the Oak Meadows school campus and maintains extended hours from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday, with subsidized programs available. Parent feedback on Yahoo Local is highly positive, with one reviewer specifically praising "best service ever" and naming staff.
