childcarekinderfaith-based
Concordia Preschool & Childcare Center is a Lutheran faith-based, CCLD-licensed center serving ages 2 through Transitional Kindergarten at 1695 Discovery Falls Drive in East Chula Vista. With 103 children enrolled and a 4.0-star Yelp rating from 72 community reviews, the center demonstrates strong parent confidence and stable demand. Its written curriculum for each age group emphasizes academic preparation and social-emotional development, with hours from 6:30 am to 5:30 pm, year-round enrollment, and both full-day and half-day options supporting working families. The facility offers dedicated 2-year-old spaces, in-classroom bathrooms, and security features. Prospective families should note that infant care (under age 2) is not available, and the faith-based approach may not suit all families regardless of the center's strong community reputation.
