Full Ranking Detail
childcareinfant
MAOF Child Care Center is a CCLD-licensed center-based provider at 6145 Woodward Ave in Maywood, serving infants and young children ages 2–5. Operated by the Mexican American Opportunity Foundation, a well-established Southeast Los Angeles nonprofit, the center uses a High Scope curriculum and has maintained a clean inspection record with no citations as of October 2025. Licensed since January 2023, it operates year-round Monday through Friday with updated facility standards. However, capacity is severely limited at just 12 children—among the smallest in the area—and the relatively new license means a shorter operational track record; parent review data on independent platforms remains sparse.
