Affordable Care That Blends Faith & Play-Based Learning

Preschool & Childcare Center Serving East Anaheim, Chino & West Garden Grove, CA

Welcome to Shine Preschool Center, where affordability meets excellence in a faith-based environment. Established in 2019, our journey began with a mission to provide accessible, high-quality education in collaboration with local churches.

Our founders, a husband-and-wife team with two kids of their own, intimately understand the financial commitments parents face. With a deep belief that every child deserves an excellent education, they envisioned a center that offered affordability while upholding the same opportunities for every child.
At Shine, we’ve strategically partnered with local churches, using their unused classrooms during business hours. This unique approach allows us to offer incredibly affordable care, setting us apart with the lowest tuition rates in the county.
Our commitment extends beyond affordability. We value teachers, ensuring they have more classroom freedom and access to state-approved curriculums. This culture of support enhances the learning environment for both educators and children.
Driven by faith, Shine fosters the importance of community. We provide education and care in a nurturing space where children thrive spiritually, academically, and socially.

Discipline is a process of learning self-control, respect for others, and responsibility.

First time students can have some separation anxiety from their guardian. We encourage all parents to always give a kiss or hug and say “Goodbye” and most importantly, always say that you’re coming back. Teachers and directors are available to help any child who is having a particularly tough transition and teachers will provide necessary feedback to parents during the process.

Separation anxiety is a normal developmental stage where children experience anxiety when they are separated from their parent. Separation is a process. Some children have no separation anxiety and some children experience anxiety for several weeks. It is important to comfort the child and let them know it is okay to cry or feel upset. Teachers manage separation by utilizing proven strategies to lessen the unknown, such as classroom visitation, consistent schedules and routines, bringing familiar items from home, and creating open and honest communication with parents.

It is our goal to keep each child with a food allergy safe and to honor identified food restrictions to best of our ability. The teachers will post all food allergies in the classroom in clear view and on brightwheel. In order to best meet the children’s special dietary needs, it is essential that the center staff and parents work closely together. Parents should discuss it with the director and the child’s teachers upon enrollment. Parents must submit written documentation with specific guidelines for addressing each special type of dietary need and food allergy. If the child’s physician prescribes an EPI pen, parents are responsible for providing this in a zip lock bag with the child’s first and last name clearly labeled, as well as the medication’s expiration date. The EPI pen will be stored in the classroom emergency bag, 5 feet above the floor in a visible location. If the child’s allergy status changes, parents must notify the staff and director of these changes and update the child’s posted allergy sheet in the classroom.
