Country Village Preschool in Foothill Ranch is a NAEYC-accredited center serving infants through kindergarten-age children at Burbank Road in the 92610 ZIP code. Licensed since May 2011 with capacity of 12, the center maintains national accreditation and offers flexible scheduling including 5-day full-time (8am–5pm), part-time, and half-day options. Staff culture scores well on Indeed (4.3 stars average), and at 35 Yelp reviews it is the most-reviewed childcare provider in the local area. The extremely small licensed capacity means waitlists are nearly certain, and a recent April 2026 monitoring visit noted two violations; prospective families should review the full CCLD record before enrolling.
