Heartbeat Music & Performing Arts Academy — Preschool 4 the Arts operates in Perris as a satellite of a San Diego-based arts organization, licensed by CCLD (license #336300987) with capacity for 48 children ages 2–5. The center is distinguished by its music and performing arts-integrated curriculum, where children develop reading, body coordination, and stage presence alongside core academics through music, dance, and movement instruction. Funded through California State Preschool Program (CSPP) and CCTR, it serves eligible families with subsidized care across multiple counties and operates Monday–Friday, 7:30 AM–5:00 PM. The center has no public Google or parent reviews available to independently verify family experience, and the 5:00 PM closing may not suit full-time working parents; prospective enrollees should confirm local staffing stability given the San Diego headquarters location.
