About us

Hi, I’m Jodi! I have been a preschool teacher since 1986. When my husband and I moved our family from Orange County to Murrieta I decided to open up Helms’ Christian Preschool. Our in home facility has been in business since 1993 and has blossomed into what it is today. I am so thankful for the families that have come into our lives and have shared their first leaning experience with us! It’s been a joy to see year after year our classroom filled with eager children with joyful hearts. We hope your child’s experience with us is a launch pad to their next big adventure whether it be pubic, private or homeschool.
