How this list is made: San Diego 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.

Before you enroll

Choosing a Christian preschool or church daycare in San Diego

  1. 1

    Ask how faith is part of the day

    Ask whether there is Bible time, prayer or chapel, how often, and what children learn.

  2. 2

    Ask who runs it

    Some daycares are run by the church; others rent space in a church building. Ask who sets the program and who employs the staff.

  3. 3

    Ask about families of other faiths

    If it matters to you, ask whether the daycare enrolls families of any faith or none.

  4. 4

    Check the license record

    Open the daycare's page here for its California license and the state's inspection record, where we hold them.
