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.

Light of Christ Lutheran has been a blessing for our entire family. We have a TK student who we transitioned from a homeschool environment mid year. As family being the only people our son ever spent considerable time with, trust was paramount. Our family toured tens of schools looking for the best fit for us. The genuine nature of the faculty is what drew us in. Not only was it evident they academically and developmentally know how to educate and rear children, they have a passion for it. The classroom environment is small I believe 15 max, my child is in a class of 10. With one primary educator plus an aide. They invest in their educators to gain continuing education and it shows. Academically my child has excelled- penmanship, comprehension, patience and increased verbalization of needs. He truthfully went from not being able to identify letters in his name to writing his name on his own within weeks. The religious elements my child adores! We loved his love for Jesus at school so much we began attending services as well. I can not recommended this school enough. It is the perfect blend of academic, wholesome, and religious. Thank you Light of Christ Lutheran for all that you do.
Brookelynn WashingtonApr 24, 2026Choosing Light of Christ for my children was the best decision we could have made. Both of my kids absolutely love going to school—and are often upset with me when it’s time to go home because they want to stay longer! As a parent, I was initially very nervous about sending my children anywhere outside of family care. The thought of trusting someone else with them felt overwhelming. But from the very beginning, Light of Christ completely put those fears to rest. The teachers and staff genuinely love and care for each child, and it shows in everything they do. I truly feel that they have my children’s best interests at heart, and that peace of mind is priceless. One of the things that sets Light of Christ apart is their incredible flexibility for working parents. Many preschools require rigid schedules with fixed days and early pickup times, which can be really challenging for families with full-time jobs. Light of Christ goes above and beyond to accommodate real-life schedules, and they’ve even been willing to help adjust on a case-by-case basis when unexpected things come up. That level of support is rare and so appreciated. In addition to all of that, the Christ-centered environment is something we deeply value. It’s comforting to know that our children are not only being cared for, but are also learning in a loving, faith-based setting that reinforces the values we teach at home. And to top it all off, the program is very affordable compared to others in the area, especially considering the quality of care and flexibility they provide. We truly love Light of Christ and feel so grateful to have found a place that cares for our children so well. I cannot recommend them highly enough
Kirra MacDonaldApr 23, 2026We love this school so much. We had both of our children going to LOC. The best thing is that we know our children are being loved and cared for. My children has learned so much from the school and they just have fun each day. We are so blessed to find them.
Kellie ChungMar 12, 2026We have been sending our daughter to LOC for over a year now. It has been the best thing that’s ever happened to her. Shes developed so much in such a short period of time. The staff there is incredible, they’re so caring and patient and make each child feel so loved and cared for. They truly love what they do and I’m so fortunate we found them.
Kyle LarsonMar 12, 2026Our daughter grew up here. We watched her go from wearing diapers to being fully potty trained, and from learning her first words to beginning to learn language and math. She made many good friends and developed wonderful habits along the way. We are deeply grateful to every teacher here.
Ice HMar 10, 2026My child was at Light of Christ preschool for two school years and we had a great experience. All of the staff members were very helpful with my child’s development and were always able to answer questions that I had. My child really grew & developed during their time at the school, making many friends. My family enjoyed going to various events hosted outside of school time including Oktoberfest, Family Day, and Mommy/Daddy nights with the kids. We would recommend Light of Christ for people considering a preschool.
