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.

I would give more stars if I could they truly deserve way more! My children attended here and had experiences from the jellyfish class up to the otter class. I always would tell Mrs. Megan they need to add a full school because I would keep my kids here forever if I could. I cannot say enough amazing things about every single person on this staff. From the director Nikki, to Mrs. Megan, Ms. Alicia, Mrs. Jessie, Ms. Kathy, Ms. Lizzie, Ms. Oisel, Ms. Grace and every other teacher and assistant teacher who work there you literally feel the love, support and empowerment for your child. It is Christian biblical based which we 100% want and love because we want our children to have a Biblical view of the world. I love that they have chapel and children get to practice praying. What I truly love more than anything is that every staff member whether your in that direct teachers class or not, knows your child and wants the best for them. I love that they are nurturing but also realistic and are shaping these little hearts to be so beautiful. Whenever my children had a tough day the teachers were always so kind and like hey how can we work together to figure out a great solution. I love that there is always open dialogue and again they TRULY want the best for my children. The academics are great my children left there being more advanced as they headed into kindergarten. They do a lot of hands on learning but again cater to your child’s interests. Toys are rotated out and there’s a new fun learning theme each month. I loved that they had jobs to pick out in the class room. My children left here academically prepared, confident and more importantly their love for God continues to shine on. The school performances are the cutest don’t miss them they are ADORABLE! I literally cried on their last day of school because I can’t say enough thank you’s to the staff at the preschool for impacting our children in the most important ways. If you want the most amazing humans on the planet to enrich your child’s life look no further you will never regret bringing them here. Thank you to every single staff member at Lighthouse for impacting our children in the most positive way!
Britney HillJun 5, 2026We love Light House Preschool the teachers are awesome and my daughter has so much fun there. She only goes twice a week but it’s a great experience. Highly highly recommend if you’re seeking something that is Bible based This is your place. I’m glad that my daughter is learning about Jesus here, that is is the most Important to us.
Raquel ReedJun 4, 2025Our experience at Lighthouse Christian Preschool over the past two years has been absolutely wonderful. Our daughter started here at 3 years old and recently transitioned to kindergarten, and we couldn't be happier with the care and environment she experienced. Pick-ups and drop-offs were always smooth, and we never had any doubts about her safety. The staff ensured a secure environment, which was reassuring as parents. Communication with the staff was great. We received regular updates and pictures throughout the day, which kept us connected and informed about our daughter's activities and progress. Even though it was affordable, the quality of care exceeded our expectations. The attention to each child's development and well-being was evident in every interaction. Our daughter always looked forward to going to school, thanks to the positive and stimulating learning environment. The curriculum not only focused on academic readiness but also instilled important biblical values, which we deeply appreciated. The teachers are truly exceptional. They are gifted and genuinely care for the children. Their love and dedication create a nurturing atmosphere where our daughter thrived. We are incredibly grateful to Lighthouse, for providing such a supportive and enriching experience for our daughter. It's clear that they prioritize both academic and emotional growth, making it an ideal place for any child to learn and grow. We're excited to begin this new chapter in Kindergarten but are so sad to be leaving this gem of a school!
carlie logsdonJul 18, 2024Love all the teachers , even though my sons in Ms Janice’s class, so She’s got an extra special spot in my heart. My guy is 4 and has transitioned a lot with all the moving we’ve done, so this is his first full-time preschool experience. And he loves going ;runs up hugs the teachers;ask sometimes to stay later. I have nothing but great things to say about lighthouse Christian preschool!
Christine VasquezFeb 1, 2018I have had 3 kids go through Lighthouse. Such a blessing... the teachers are amazing!
