Our story

Started by a vision, sustained by a calling

In 1991, Malinda Margiotta recognized the need for real change in the way children were cared for — and she rose to the challenge. She designed and built a state-of-the-art facility, assembled a team of quality professionals, and ABC Child Care Center was born.

Ms. Malinda is credited by many with raising the bar for child care nationwide. ABC was among the very first centers in Southern California to achieve NAEYC accreditation, and we pioneered the first mildly ill care room in the region — our beloved Chicken Soup Room — so parents would never have to scramble for backup care.

Chicken Soup Room: ABC's pioneering mildly ill classroom keeps sick-but-stable children safe and cared for — so parents' days don't derail.

Growing the family · 2004

A second home in Harveston

In 2004, ABC's second location opened in the heart of the Harveston community — ABC Child Care Village. It is operated by Ms. Malinda's daughter, Ms. Angel, and her husband, Mr. Shawn. Having grown up at ABC her entire life, Ms. Angel later traveled the world doing youth ministry before returning to continue the family calling.

When Ms. Malinda retired in early 2020, Ms. Angel and Mr. Shawn took the reins at both locations. Today their hearts for children and community are visible in every classroom, every interaction, every special event on the calendar.

We are so happy to have found ABC. I have three kids 3 and under and was anxious about preschool, but the teachers handle their care so well.
