Full Ranking Detail
childcarepreschool
Small World Pre School is a CCLD-licensed child care center in Pico Rivera, California, serving preschool-age children since 1969 — over five decades of continuous operation in the community. The center operates from 6:15 AM to 6:30 PM Monday through Friday, offering some of the widest hours available in the area to support working families. A parent reviewer noted strong care and school preparation. The absence of an active website and very limited public review information mean prospective families should contact the center directly to verify current enrollment, programs, and status.
