Options State Preschool — Park is a small CCLD-licensed day care center (license #198008138) in Alhambra, CA, serving children ages 3–5 through a state-funded program. Established in 2002, the center has maintained a perfect regulatory record across three consecutive inspections from 2021 to 2025, with zero citations—among the cleanest in Alhambra. Capacity of 24 children supports individualized kindergarten readiness preparation. As a state-funded access point, Options serves families who might otherwise lack early childhood resources. Limited hours (9:00 am–5:00 pm, Monday–Friday) exclude families with standard full-time work schedules, and the ages-3–5-only restriction means families transition providers at age milestones.
