Full Ranking Detail
Ages 3–5yrWASC AccreditedPre-K through 12th Grade Campus
Modesto Christian Preschool is a WASC- and ASCI-accredited early childhood program at 5755 Sisk Rd, serving fully potty-trained children ages 2.9 to 5 within a K–12 campus pathway. The dual accreditation places it among the strongest institutional credentials in the Modesto area, and Care.com parent feedback highlights solid student-teacher ratios and a strong Pre-K4 program. The curriculum weaves Bible instruction throughout themed monthly units with both open-ended and structured play, complemented by field trips to local destinations (pumpkin patch and zoo visits). Flexible enrollment options—half day, extended day, or full day across 2, 3, or 5 days per week—support varied family schedules. A meaningful caveat is the absence of infant care; the program begins around age 3, and families may face implicit expectations to continue through elementary school given the embedded K–12 structure.
