Ranked among the top 10 childcare centers in Bellflower. Fewer than half of all centers in the city reach this level across our full 11-dimension scoring.
The YMCA GLB Mayne St State Preschool is a long-established, CCLD-licensed Day Care Center (license #198000569, capacity 103) operated by YMCA of Greater Long Beach since August 1995—the longest-operating childcare center in Bellflower. As the largest single-license facility reviewed in the area, it serves toddlers and preschoolers, with State Preschool designation that enables subsidized or free enrollment for income-qualifying local families. The center operates full-day and half-day programs integrated with YMCA's broader network of six facilities, leveraging the nonprofit's community commitment. Parent sentiment is moderately positive (Yelp 4.0 from 12 reviews), though Google Maps ratings could not be independently verified and review coverage beyond Yelp is limited; families should review the full CCLD inspection history at ccld.ca.gov and confirm that State Preschool sessions align with their work schedules.
