Full Ranking Detail
childcarepreschoolstate-funded
Options State Preschool — Rowland is a CCLD-licensed state preschool program at 2036 S Fullerton Rd in Rowland Heights, serving preschool-age children with a focused mission on kindergarten readiness and family preparation. Operating since pre-2000, it offers subsidized tuition for qualifying families under California's state preschool eligibility framework, with hours Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Recent inspections remain current (most recent January 2025), though the program's small capacity of 28 children creates limited mid-year availability. Income eligibility requirements and two Type B citations on record are factors to weigh, and the absence of public parent reviews means the experience reported by families cannot be independently verified.
