- CCLD Day Care Center + Infant Center license #198017960; zero citations across all five inspections (2021–2026) — exceptional regulatory record

- Open 6:00 am–6:30 pm Monday–Friday — widest operating window among Alhambra centers reviewed; suits shift workers

Considerations
- Yelp 3.0 out of 5 from only 4 reviews — mixed parent sentiment with limited review volume for confident conclusions
- Capacity only 12 children — very small program; enrollment is highly limited and likely requires early waitlist placement

- 12 Yelp reviews on record (June 2026 update) — meaningful public feedback base for a small Christian preschool
- Parent review notes both children attended through to elementary school with positive long-term outcomes
- Hot and nutritious meals served daily — meaningful support for working families; not universal in Alhambra centers
- Open 8:00 am–6:00 pm Monday–Friday; longer afternoon hours than many faith-based peers in the area
- Christian values-based curriculum emphasizes cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development simultaneously

- Faith-based curriculum may not suit non-Christian families seeking a secular early childhood environment
- 45 students with one reported teacher — very high ratio information needs direct verification with center
