Ranked among the top 10 childcare centers in Monrovia. Fewer than half of all centers in the city reach this level across our full 11-dimension scoring.
Options for Learning — Rotary Park is a CCLD-licensed Day Care Center (license #191598056) located at 418 California St. near Rotary Park in Monrovia, serving preschool-age children since January 1992. Operating as part of the Options for Learning nonprofit network—a well-established San Gabriel Valley early childhood provider since 1975—the center uses the High/Scope research-backed curriculum, where children learn through plan-do-review cycles. Notably, it provides needs-based income-qualified enrollment, extending high-quality early education to Monrovia's lower-income families. Two consecutive CCLD inspections through January 2025 show no citations. With limited hours (Monday–Friday, 9:00 am–5:00 pm) and a small capacity of 22 children, families should verify both eligibility and availability.
