What California does not publish here
The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

BBCA is the best! My 2 children attended from 2 years old to 6th grade when we moved. From the teachers to the families who attend, this school is what every kid needs. They love your children, push your children and help them excel while keeping focus on the fruits of the spirit and instilling a good Christian Foundation. I highly recommend this school and have already referred a few friends who are having the same great experience. Thank Ms Drena, Ms Kelly, Ms Sara, Ms Marina and all the other fabulous teachers over the years who helped mold my children.
Heather MurrayJun 26, 2025Bright Christian Academy in Norco, California, exceeded my expectations in every way. The staff, especially Ms. Drina, Ms. Sara, and Ms. Mariah, were not only sweet but also attentive to every detail of my child's education. Drop-offs and pick-ups were a breeze, streamlining our daily schedule. What truly sets this school apart is how much my daughter adored it. Her enthusiasm for learning grew immensely, a testament to the school's engaging curriculum. Without a doubt, Bright Christian Academy is the best school in Norco, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching educational environment for their child.
Gabriela NunoAug 27, 2023I would say pass on this place after almost 5 years of seeing it go downhill. I would not recommend, unless you are looking for subpar homeschool help. They are not a private school because they can’t qualify as one. If you want to homeschool with a little help, while paying a premium price for tutoring, go ahead! I am very satisfied with our new legit private school. The teachers that they underpay at BBCA are probably the most God-loving part of the school❤️
Lauren DiazDec 20, 2021Love this school!!! And love the staff here!!! My little girl is almost 3 and absolutely loves this school as well!!!
Natalie CrewFeb 6, 2018A great place to be inspired by Jesus and be taught with encouragement. The teachers are extremely loving and have the freedom to teach in a unique way.
Susannah KelemenNov 1, 2017I've never felt a more loving circle of teachers and office staff! Ever! Ms Drena flat out took my daughter in as if one of her own and walked me around the entire school. I'm beyond thrilled to have my kids grow and learn Gods love here. This truly is a safe and warm environment for teaching gods truth. Thank you so much for what you are doing!

- California records 3 inspection visits to BRIGHT BEGINNINGS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY, the most recent on March 20, 2026 and the earliest on record November 28, 2023.

Has California visited BRIGHT BEGINNINGS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY in response to a complaint?

- The licence is held by ROGERS, DRENA. California lists the licensee separately from the facility name, so the two often differ. The facility is in Riverside County.
