Full Ranking Detail
PreschoolToddlerPlay-Based
Cano Child Care Center — Site II is a CCLD-licensed center-based provider in south Santa Ana, CA 92707, serving preschool-age children (3–5 years) in part-day sessions. The center emphasizes high-quality education that nurtures active learning in a safe environment, with bilingual instruction in English and Spanish and Vietnamese language support. A distinctive program benefit is free meals and classes, along with participation in subsidized child care. Operating Monday through Friday from 8am–11am and 12pm–3pm with a capacity of 85 children, it serves the Delhi neighborhood and south Santa Ana corridor. However, the center has no public parent reviews or ratings available on platforms where other centers' parent feedback can be assessed, and limited public information on full hours, extended care, or age range details is a gap in transparency compared to better-documented competitors.
