St. John of God Pre-K is a CCLD-licensed childcare center serving preschool-age children at 13817 Pioneer Blvd in Norwalk, with capacity for 20 students. Operating since 1999 as part of the St. John of God School campus serving K–8, it offers educational continuity and a faith-centered approach to development. The small class size supports personalized attention and community reputation in the area. Recent CCLD inspection (January 2026) confirms active licensing; however, DaycareCheck records show a B safety grade (81.3/100) with 21 violations including 3 critical incidents, and CCLD inspection history includes 1 Type A and 6 Type B citations — prospective families should review the full compliance record before enrollment.
