What is Foothills Faith Academy
The Foothills Faith Academy has served East County for more than 50 years and has been consistently selected as one of the best preschools in the area.
Morning sessions (9am – noon), Partial day (8am-1pm) and Full day (7:30am-5pm) options can be packaged as two, three or five-day weeks.
The infant program (for children six weeks to 24 months old) is available for 5 full days with the hours of 7:45am-4:00pm
Students spend “Chapel Time” once a month with Foothills’ Pastor and Children’s Ministry Director, in the sanctuary for stories, music and group fun!

With a 3:1 faculty to child ratio, our staff pays very close attention to the needs of the children and all of the regulations and requirements from the State of California. Children attending the Faith Academy Infant Center learn vital early social and developmental skills. The children stay on a closely monitored schedule and have an incredible amount of toys to play and create with.
