ABC Child Care Center in Temecula, California is a CCLD-licensed center serving infants through school-age children, with capacity for 80 and a remarkable 5.0 Google rating across 41 reviews. NAC-accredited and established in 1991, it offers extended hours (5:30 am–7:00 pm), among the latest in the area, and operates a distinctive mildly ill care room—the "Chicken Soup Room"—allowing children with minor illnesses to stay while parents work. With low teacher-to-child ratios and seven outdoor play yards, the center has maintained a citation-free inspection record since 2022. Programs span infants and toddlers, preschool, Pre-K, private transitional and traditional kindergarten, and Kid's Kamp. While extended hours can bring higher part-time staff turnover at shift boundaries, consistent parent satisfaction and long operational tenure across three generations of families establish it as a flagship provider in the Temecula Valley.
