Weekday Nursery School of Fontana Community Church is a CCLD-licensed, faith-based preschool at 8316 Sierra Avenue in Fontana, serving children ages 2 through 6 since 1974. With over 60 years of continuous operation and a capacity of 88 children, the center demonstrates institutional stability unusual among independently operated providers in the region. Its inspection record is notably clean—no citations across the 2022–2025 cycle—and it offers a play-based, faith-integrated curriculum with breakfast, lunch, and snacks included. Extended hours (6:30 AM–6:00 PM) and both full-time and part-time enrollment support working families. The center does not serve infants under age 2, and its faith-based programming may not align with all families' values; limited online transparency and minimal public reviews make independent verification of day-to-day experience difficult.
