Li'l Angels Center for Early Education – San Leandro is a CCLD-licensed center at 890 Fargo Ave in south San Leandro, serving children ages 2 through 12 years with extended school-age care for working families. Part of the wider Li'l Angels network, the center has operated continuously since May 2010 and opens as early as 6:30 AM—among the earliest in the area—making it accessible to families in Washington Manor, Bonaire, and Floresta neighborhoods. Parent reviews on Winnie highlight attentive infant teachers who provide daily app updates and photos, a strong indicator of infant-specific communication and engagement. CCLD inspection reports are not readily available in online public records, and the center's daily curriculum documentation is not published online; families should request current inspection reports and a written program overview directly from the center before enrolling.
