St. Bernardine of Siena Children's Center is a Catholic preschool affiliated with St. Bernardine of Siena parish in Woodland Hills, offering Christ-centered emergent learning for children ages 2–5. With a newly issued CCLD Day Care Center license (December 2025) and a clean pre-licensing inspection record, the center operates at full capacity of 151 children across Woodland Hills 91367, supported by certified early childhood education teachers and embedded enrichment programs including music, Spanish, and Captain Kicks soccer. Extended hours (7 AM–6 PM) and flexible tuition options accommodate working families, while the parish campus setting provides outdoor facilities for active play and community connection. As a brand-new provider with very limited operating history, families should ask detailed questions about staff experience and program history on tour; the center's large capacity, while supporting programmatic depth, may feel institutional for families seeking a small-school atmosphere.
