ABC Child Care has served Temecula families since 1991. What started as one visionary center is now two thriving campuses — still family owned, still NAEYC accredited, and still deeply committed to the children and parents who trust us every day.
In 1991, Malinda Margiotta recognized the need for a fundamentally different approach to child care in the US — and she rose to the challenge. She designed a state-of-the-art facility, assembled a team of passionate professionals, and ABC Child Care Center was born. Ms. Malinda's center quickly set the bar for quality care in the Temecula Valley and beyond.
In 2004, ABC expanded with a second location — ABC Child Care Village — nestled in the beautiful Harveston community by the lake. The Village is operated by Ms. Malinda's daughter, Ms. Angel, and her husband, Mr. Shawn, who grew up at ABC and carried that upbringing into a lifetime of serving children and families.
In 2020, Angel and Shawn took full leadership of both locations. Their vision: to continue the legacy of excellence Ms. Malinda created, while bringing their own deep heart for community, education, and family partnership to every classroom, every day.
Every decision we make — hiring, curriculum, environment, communication — comes back to one belief: every child deserves the very best start.
Low teacher-to-student ratios — the lowest in the area — mean teachers can focus on each child's unique pace, needs, and personality.
A calendar full of special events, a community of invested parents, and an ABC family that spans three generations of Temecula households.
We go through an intensive hiring and training process. The majority of our team has been with us five years or more — because great teachers stay at great places.
Daily communication reports, open-door visits, and an always-available team mean you're never left wondering about your child's day.
NAEYC accreditation sets a quality standard far beyond state licensing — covering environment, curriculum, staff qualifications, and family engagement. Only an estimated 1% of early childhood programs nationwide hold this distinction.
Every location is led by experienced, caring professionals who believe in what they do — and it shows in every hallway, every classroom, every handshake at pickup.
Both campuses serve Temecula families with the same dedication, the same values, and the same open door.
Our flagship location — a Temecula Valley staple with three generations of families in our community.
A gem nestled in the Harveston community by the lake — many students start at six weeks and graduate from our private Kindergarten.
