Compton College Child Dev. Center is a college-based child development lab center located at 1111 E Artesia Blvd in Compton, serving young learners through supervised, trained student care providers enrolled in the college's child development programs. The CCLD-licensed, center-based facility operates under the academic rigor and institutional oversight of Compton College, with the campus setting providing security infrastructure and institutional compliance. The model prioritizes affordability for college student families as part of the community college mission. Parent feedback from independent review platforms remains limited, and enrollment access may be structured around college affiliation, so families should verify enrollment criteria and hours directly with the center.
