Childtime of Commerce is a CCLD-licensed center-based provider serving infants from 6 weeks through age 5 in Commerce, with robust enrichment options including music, phonics, Spanish, soccer, and yoga. The center uses live-streaming video through the SproutAbout app for parent transparency, and parent testimonials cite warm, caring staff and long-term enrollment spanning from infancy through preschool. However, the center's safety record presents a significant concern: 8 Type A citations on its CCLD record—far above county averages—document unsafe infant sleep practices, staffing ratio violations with infants, food allergy management failures, and capacity violations, with 20 inspections since 2022 including 10 complaint-triggered visits. These documented violations in core infant-care practices warrant careful in-person due diligence before enrollment.
