Preschool & Daycare Near Corona, CA
Sierra Preschool is the Montessori-inspired choice for Corona families. Our Riverside campus — minutes from Corona via the 91 Freeway — offers flexible schedules, on-site meals, and full enrichment included in tuition.
Why Corona Families Choose Sierra Preschool
Corona families have trusted Sierra Preschool since 2004. Our Riverside campus is conveniently located on Whitford Avenue, approximately 5 minutes from the Corona border — an easy commute from neighborhoods throughout west and central Corona.
Parents from Corona choose us for our Montessori-inspired curriculum that nurtures independence and curiosity, our on-site hot meals included at no extra cost, and our enrichment programs — STEAM, Dual Language Spanish-English, Music, Dance, Soccer, Tae Kwon Do, and Yoga — all included in tuition.
For Corona parents who need full-day daycare, our hours run 6:00 AM to 6:30 PM Monday through Friday — long enough to beat 91 Freeway traffic in both directions. Tuition starts at $175 per week and is all-inclusive: meals, enrichment, and dual-language instruction are covered, with no add-on fees. Many families in North Corona and Coronita find we are faster to reach than daycare options across town, straight up the 91 to the La Sierra Avenue exit. CCAP subsidized child care is accepted.
We accept the California Childcare Assistance Program (CCAP), making quality early education accessible to more Corona families. Our continuous operation since 2004 reflects the consistency and care we bring every day.
Families from east Corona neighborhoods like Sierra Del Oro, Green River, and Corona Hills are especially close — Whitford Avenue sits just across the county line, so the morning drive down the 91 is often shorter than crossing town to a Corona-side center. Many of our families come from the Corona-Norco Unified attendance area and want a Montessori option with longer, work-friendly hours.
Because Corona is a service area rather than a separate campus, your child is cared for at our single, fully-staffed Riverside facility — the same teachers, the same secure building, and the same meals cooked on-site every day. There is no rotating between locations and no difference in program quality depending on which city you commute from, which is why Corona parents tell us the drive is worth it.

Corona Family FAQs
How far is Sierra Preschool from Corona?
Our campus at 11077 Whitford Avenue sits about 5 minutes from the Corona border via the 91 Freeway at the La Sierra Avenue exit, and typically under 10 minutes from central Corona. Families in Sierra Del Oro, Green River, Corona Hills, North Corona, and Coronita are closest — for many, the drive to us is shorter than crossing town to a Corona-side center.
How much does preschool cost for Corona families?
Tuition starts at $175 per week and is identical for Corona and Riverside families — there is no out-of-area surcharge. The rate is all-inclusive: hot meals cooked on-site, every enrichment class (STEAM, dual-language Spanish, music, dance, soccer, tae kwon do, yoga), and outdoor learning are covered. A one-time $100 registration fee applies, and CCAP subsidized child care is accepted.
What daycare hours do you offer for Corona commuters?
We are open Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 6:30 PM — long enough to drop off before the 91 Freeway backs up in the morning and pick up after evening traffic clears. Before and after school care for school-age children runs on the same schedule.
Do you enroll toddlers from Corona?
Yes. Our Toddler Program accepts children 18 to 30 months, and Corona families enroll year-round pending availability. Toddler rooms fill fastest, so we recommend scheduling a tour early. Programs continue through Junior Pre-K, Pre-K, Transitional Kindergarten, and school age.
Is there a preschool campus in Corona itself?
No — Corona is a service area. Every child attends our single, fully staffed Riverside campus on Whitford Avenue: the same teachers, the same secure building, and the same on-site kitchen every day. Corona parents tell us the short drive up the 91 is worth it for a Montessori-inspired program with work-friendly hours.
