It runs pre-kindergarten and preschool classes for children about three to five years old, in a Christian setting that is part of the church. Class schedules come in half-day and full-day formats, with classes held Monday through Friday. The directory record shows the school does not take part in a subsidized child care program, so families pay tuition directly. The school is a good fit for a parent who wants a small, faith-based preschool in Artesia with a choice between half days and full days, in a church setting rather than a commercial child care building.","categories":["preschool"],"ages":{"min":3,"max":5},"childcare":{"setting":"center","license":"198005332","capacity":41,"hours":[{"days":["mon","tue","wed","thu","fri"]}]},"traits":{"faith":"faith-based","schedule":["half-day","full-day"],"topics":["christian"]}}],"source":{"name":"California Community Care Licensing","fetched":"2026-10-09"},"updated":"2026-10-09","checked":null,"closed":null,"sample":false}
