Tutor Time of Woodland Hills is a CCLD-licensed, corporate-chain day care center at 5855 De Soto Ave in Woodland Hills serving children from 6 weeks through school age, including private Kindergarten. Operating M–F 6:30 am–6:30 pm with a capacity of 30, it offers the longest hours and most comprehensive age continuum of any center in the area, featuring a full spectrum from Infant through Junior Kindergarten alongside themed weekly programs and enrichment electives. With over 50 parent reviews on Yelp and a 4.83-star rating from 96 reviews on ResellerRatings, the center maintains solid public visibility and parent satisfaction at scale. However, CCLD citations for code 101538.3(b) in both February 2026 and August 2024 indicate a repeated violation warranting direct inquiry with administration, and a July 2023 complaint investigation is also on record; interested families should clarify the nature and resolution of these matters before enrollment.
