Bonanza Preschool & Kindergarten is a California-licensed provider (CCLD #364841216, capacity 24) located at 14624 Bonanza Road in Victorville, serving children ages 2 through kindergarten since 1996. The center employs a developmentally appropriate approach spanning seven subject areas—science, math, manipulative activities, cooking, creative art, music and movement, and language experience—with bilingual instruction in English and Spanish. Parent reviews across Yelp and TheDaycareBook average 4.0–4.1 stars, with director Maria noted by name for personalized attention and curriculum quality. Special activities include pony rides, petting zoos, and reptile shows, alongside before- and after-school transportation, military and sibling discounts, and membership in the California Quality Start Program. However, inspection records from 2022–2025 document one Type A citation and six Type B citations—a notably high count for a center of this size—and one public review raised serious safety and hygiene concerns, necessitating thorough in-person due diligence.
