Strengths
- NAEYC-accredited — gold standard early childhood quality designation; one of the most credentialed centers in Perris
- CCLD license numbers 334809081, 334809082, and 334809083 — multi-licensed for different age groups

- No current openings reported as of early 2025 across all age groups — significant waitlist likely
