Full Ranking Detail
childcareinfantpreschool
Maywood Early Education Campus (California Children's Academy) is a CCLD-licensed center-based provider at 3759 E. 57th St in Maywood serving infants through age five. Operated by the California Children's Academy nonprofit with multiple LA-area locations, the center has a capacity of 39 and maintains a clean inspection record with no citations as of July 2023. Extended hours from 6:30 AM to 5:30 PM support full-time working families, while professional staff and low teacher-to-child ratios support quality care. The primary limitation is that the center does not participate in subsidized child care programs, which may restrict access for lower-income families seeking affordable options.
