Strengths
- CCLD Day Care Center license #198012793, active since December 2006; capacity 25 children — a smaller, more intimate preschool environment
- Located adjacent to the larger Maple Ave campus; may offer smaller class sizes and more individualized attention than the larger sibling facility
- CCLD inspections October 2025 and April 2024 confirm active operation — current licensing verified
- Small capacity of 25 children provides low child-to-teacher ratios in practice — meaningful for families prioritizing individualized attention
- Long-running license since 2006 on same block as the longer-established Maple Ave entity — shared community presence
Considerations
- One Type B citation from CCLD inspections (October 2025) — families should pull full report at ccld.ca.gov
- Shares address block with the larger Maple Ave Preschool; families should confirm which license and which classroom their child would be placed in
- No website or online presence found — families cannot preview curriculum, pricing, or staff credentials before contacting
