Ranked among the top 10 childcare centers in Fullerton. Fewer than half of all centers in the city reach this level across our full 11-dimension scoring.
Bumble Bee Christian Learning Center is a DCF-licensed faith-based provider in Fullerton, CA, serving children ages 2–12 since 1996. With a 4.2 Google rating and consistently praised for a clean, well-organized facility with engaged teaching staff, the center has built long-term community trust over nearly three decades across Fullerton, Anaheim, Placentia, and surrounding areas. It offers multi-age programming, structured routines, before/after school care, and year-round extended hours (6:30 AM–6:00 PM), accommodating working families with flexible scheduling. A licensed capacity of 57 and competitive pricing have made it accessible to multi-generational families. Three Type B CCLD citations dating to 2023–2025 (age group commingling, immunization documentation, and lead testing) are offset by an April 2026 inspection that passed with no citations, suggesting improvement. Parents should note the center's Christian identity may not fit all family values, and the lack of true infant care below age 2 means it serves primarily preschool and school-age children.
