How this list is made: Bakersfield daycares whose name names a church or the Christian faith, plus those that describe a Christian program. Some faith-based daycares do not say so in their name, and a church name does not always mean a religious program. Ask how faith is part of the day. A daycare without this tag may still be faith-based; ask.
