Full Ranking Detail
childcarepreschoolkindergarten
Angela Preschool & Kindergarten is a CCLD Day Care Center licensed since 2004 (License #198010840) in central Arcadia, serving preschool through kindergarten with a capacity of 91 children—making it one of the larger centers in the area and providing continuity from early preschool through kindergarten entry. The center's longevity and size afford enrollment availability for west Arcadia families. However, its 3.0-star rating from 12 Yelp reviews reflects mixed community sentiment, and CCLD inspection records show three Type B citations between 2022 and 2025, along with multiple complaint investigations filed during that period. Families should review all complaint documentation available at ccld.ca.gov and verify the center's current classroom teacher-to-student ratios before enrolling.
