Highlands Christian Preschool was founded in 1966 and is part of Highlands Christian Schools, a ministry of Church of the Highlands. The preschool states that Christian beliefs are a vital and integral part of the preschool program and describes its atmosphere as one of respect and loving appreciation for each person and for the wonders of God’s world. It is a non-denominational school and states that it has been educating for excellence since 1966, and that it strives to nurture students in wisdom, biblical character, and favor with God and man while raising spiritually mature Christian servant leaders who excel intellectually, physically, and socially.
The program includes a toddler program for children ages 18 to 30 months, a Preschool I class for children ages 31 to 36 months that focuses primarily on potty training, Preschool I for ages 2.5–3 years and Preschool II for ages 3–4 years that focus on spiritual, academic, social, and emotional growth, and a Kinder College program for ages 4–5 years with an emphasis on academic growth. Academic instruction uses the Abeka and Saxon curriculum to cover foundational skills in phonics, reading, math, science, and social studies, with Abeka offering a strong Christian worldview and Saxon in Kinder College emphasizing spelling patterns and letter coding techniques. The Lillio Curriculum follows the California Preschool Learning Foundations and Infant/Toddler Learning and Development Foundations, features an engaging monthly theme, and supports development through hands-on crafts, fine-motor activities, songs, stories, and early academic concepts. A Social and Emotional Curriculum is included to teach skills such as managing feelings, understanding others, communicating well, and solving problems with friends, and the Simply Loved Bible Curriculum uses stories from both the Old and New Testaments along with worship songs and memory verses.
Motor Fitness at Highlands Christian Preschool focuses on developing gross motor skills through physical activities that promote strength, coordination, balance, and overall physical development. Library visitations are used to foster a love for reading through regular visits and storytelling sessions, and art class encourages children to explore creativity and understand visual arts concepts. Highlands Christian Schools states that it admits students of any race, color, national, and ethnic origin and does not discriminate on that basis in administration of its programs. Highlands Preschool is licensed through the Department of Social Services and the State of California under license number LIC #410500303.

One parent, Claudine C., states that her child loves his teachers and loves going to school and that she is happy with the progress he has made at Highlands Christian Schools. Another parent, Dave A., describes Ms. Gloria and Ms. Grace as doing an exceptional job with creative, hands-on learning experiences, mentions seeing photos of his child doing learning activities including song and dance on Brightwheel, and notes that his child is learning a Christian foundation at the school. A third parent, Veronica A., thanks the program for keeping children safe and enjoying learning, and notes that after her child attended the Bear class, the child was able to memorize Bible verses and songs, which she describes as important for their Christian family.
