Full Ranking Detail
childcarepreschooltoddlersubsidizedbilingual
MAOF Oxnard Early Learning Center is a CCLD-licensed center-based provider at 1800 South C Street in south Oxnard, operated by the Mexican American Opportunity Foundation to serve working families and income-eligible populations with children ages 2–5. With zero citations across both CCLD inspections (August 2021 and March 2025), exemplary compliance is a hallmark of the program. As part of MAOF's statewide network of 27 early care centers across six Southern California counties, it offers subsidized early care and education with bilingual support and a capacity of 44 children. A BBB A+ rating reflects strong business practices; the accessible south Oxnard location and flexible enrollment model prioritize underserved families. The center's limited public online presence and lack of parent reviews make independent verification of day-to-day experience difficult, and enrollment prioritizes income-eligible families with work/training requirements, which may constrain spots for private-pay families.
