Full Ranking Detail

Pasitos Hollydale Early Head Start is a CCLD-licensed Early Head Start center in South Gate serving infants and toddlers with federally funded, income-targeted programming. Operated under the established HSA Pasitos umbrella since 2011, the center maintains a clean inspection record with no citations in recent years and delivers educational activities tailored to early developmental needs. Capacity is 16 children, and limited operating hours (8:00 AM–3:00 PM) mean many families will need supplemental care arrangements outside these windows.
