Bread of Life Christian Children's Center Preschool is a state-licensed, faith-based preschool serving children ages 2 to 5 at 2780 Lomita Blvd in Torrance, with capacity for 89 children under CCLD license #197410454. Operating as a ministry of Bread of Life Church since 2002, the center maintains a clean compliance record with zero CCLD citations and offers extended care hours (8 am–5 pm Monday through Friday) with enrichment activities including after-school tutoring, Chinese instruction, and chess. Parent reviews on Yelp average 4.0 stars with three five-star ratings, though the small review pool and absence of Google reviews limit independent verification. Families seeking secular educational approaches should note the center's explicit Christian values curriculum; similarly, families needing infant care will need to look elsewhere, as the center serves preschool ages only.
