Our daycare is our family — and our community

Daycare Ladera Ranch is owned and operated by Diana Moreno. After earning her bachelor’s degree at CSULB and working in the hospital field, Diana returned to the work she loves most: caring for young children during the years that shape everything after.

With her assistants, she keeps a happy, stress-free home where every child is treated like family — clean, interactive and full of chances to play, learn and grow.
