Full Ranking Detail
childcarepreschool
Kidsville Preschool and Day Care Center at 1247 Benton Street in Santa Clara is a privately-owned provider established in 1970, serving toddlers and preschoolers ages 18 months through 6 years with over 55 years of consistent family tenure. Its CCLD inspection record shows only a single Type B citation, well below the county average, and parents on Yelp give it a solid 4.0-star rating across 31 reviews, praising teachers as wonderful and noting measurable learning progress in their children. The center opens at 6:30 AM to accommodate early-commute working families. With a small capacity of 28 children, Kidsville prioritizes personalized attention, though this small size likely means a waitlist during peak enrollment periods and no infant program for families seeking full-age-range care.
