Full Ranking Detail
childcare
Huntington Park Rita Child Development Center is a CCLD-licensed day care provider with a capacity of 80 children, located at 6420 Rita Ave in Huntington Park's Rita Avenue neighborhood. The center operates Monday through Friday, serving working families in the area. However, its CCLD inspection record includes a Type A citation (a serious regulatory violation) in June 2022 and a Type B citation in March 2024, leading questions about compliance and operational quality. The center does not participate in subsidized child care programs, which limits access for lower-income families.
