Tutor Time Child Care/Learning Center in Newport Beach is a nationally accredited Learning Care Group franchise serving infants through school-age children Monday–Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. The CCLD-licensed center (capacity 40, licensed since 2006) operates a structured, age-specific curriculum with monthly teacher training and live-streaming parent access via the SproutAbout app. With 4.2 stars from 86 ResellerRatings reviews, the center demonstrates broad parent engagement, and it accepts Child Care Aware subsidies, military family discounts, and offers enrichment electives (Music, Spanish, Soccer, Yoga, Math). However, the center's most recent CCLD inspection (July 2024) documented multiple Type A and Type B citations, suggesting elevated compliance concerns warranting full review of the state licensing report.
