Full Ranking Detail

Kingsley Child Development Center is a CCLD-licensed facility (license #191598114) at 1170 Washington St in Pomona, operated as part of the Pomona Unified School District's subsidized early childhood program. With continuous operation since 1991—over 34 years—and a clean inspection record as of October 2025, the center offers licensed care for up to 48 children. Its co-location with Kingsley Elementary provides a natural transition pathway for kindergarten enrollment, and subsidized slots serve income-eligible families, foster children, and homeless students. Extended hours to 7:00 PM on Wednesdays accommodate shift-work schedules, though standard hours (8:00 AM–5:00 PM) suit only part-time arrangements. As a government-operated program, enrollment outside the subsidy prioritization is limited, and public parent feedback is unavailable to inform family decision-making.
