More than 20 years of nurturing children, supporting families, and raising the bar for quality child care in the Temecula Valley.
Founder Malinda Margiotta saw a gap in quality child care and rose to fill it — designing a state-of-the-art facility, assembling a team of passionate professionals, and opening ABC Child Care Center on Solana Way. Her legacy would raise the bar for child care across Southern California.
ABC Child Care Village opened in the Harveston lakeside community — a gem of a second location run by Malinda's daughter Ms. Angel and her husband Mr. Shawn, whose shared heart for ministering to youth had been forged through years of travel and global youth ministry.
Malinda retired, and Angel and Shawn took the helm of both locations. The legacy continues: the same commitment to excellence, the same open-door culture, and the same belief that every child deserves extraordinary care.
ABC serves families across the Temecula Valley with 18 classrooms, programs for ages 6 weeks through 12 years, and a staff whose dedication is matched only by their longevity — many have been with ABC for over a decade.
At ABC, we partner with families to nurture strong, independent, creative, and well-rounded children. We believe that great child care is a genuine collaboration — between teachers and children, and between the school and the families it serves.
Our open-door policy is more than a rule; it's an expression of our values. Stop by any time. Walk the classrooms. Meet the teachers. We have nothing to hide and everything to share.
That same transparency carries into daily communication — every family stays connected to their child's experience through regular, informal updates and a line that's always open.
Low teacher-to-student ratios across every program — from 1:4 in infant rooms to 1:12 in private kindergarten — mean every child receives individual attention and care.
We invest more in teacher training than any other provider in the valley. Most of our staff have been with ABC for five or more years — they know your children, and your children know them.
ABC is more than a facility — it's a community. A full calendar of family events, three generations of returning families, and teachers who remember every child's name.
ABC is the largest NAEYC-accredited preschool in California. Only the top 1% of programs nationwide earn this distinction — a standard that goes far beyond state licensing requirements.
Breakfast, a hot lunch, and an afternoon snack — included in tuition — prepared fresh daily with substitutions for dietary needs and food allergies.
ABC was one of the first and most prominent centers in Southern California to earn NAEYC accreditation — and remains the largest accredited preschool in the state of California. NAEYC's standard goes well beyond licensing, evaluating curriculum, classroom environment, family engagement, staff qualifications, and more. It is the gold standard in early childhood education.
Raised at ABC and shaped by years of youth ministry around the world, Ms. Angel brings an infectious love for children and an unwavering commitment to quality into everything she does. She oversees both locations with warmth and precision.
Mr. Shawn's heart for young people — forged through global mission work — grounds everything he brings to ABC. His partnership with Angel ensures the families and staff at both locations are always well-supported.
The backbone of Solana Way. This experienced management team keeps the Center running with the consistency and care that families have relied on for years.
The Village's trusted leadership team brings the same dedication and attention to detail that has made the Harveston location a beloved fixture in its community.
"Every staff member treated us with love and respect — from the Director to the cooks in the kitchen. We felt like family from day one."
"My granddaughter has attended ABC since she was almost 2 and is now in Kindergarten. The care they've provided has allowed her to flourish and learn in extraordinary ways."
"Family owned, 18 classrooms — ABC Village has something for everyone. A beautiful location nestled at the heart of Harveston by the lake. Highly recommend."
