Archibald Ranch Christian Preschool is a large CCLD-licensed Christian early childhood center serving children ages 2 through Kindergarten at 13344 S Archibald Ave in Ontario, with capacity for 111 children and operating hours of 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday. Founded in 1996 and continuously licensed since 2004, the center offers a Christian-based developmental curriculum featuring Bible study, chapel, ASL instruction, and social-emotional learning across separate age-appropriate classrooms. The facility accepts subsidized programs and serves the airport-area working families well with extended hours. However, CCLD inspection records document significant compliance concerns: 3 Type A citations and 7 Type B citations from 2023–2025, along with multiple complaint investigations through early 2026—prospective families should review these records thoroughly at ccld.dss.ca.gov and strongly consider an in-person facility visit before enrolling.
