Testimonials
"As a momma of TWO toddlers who go [to Heartbeat Music & Performing Arts Academy]... and as someone who has worked in education… you guys are NOT LIKE THE REST! It took me a very long time to decide where to send my children. ...There’s nothing like what we have here. My daughter is thriving in her language development. She is learning to manage her emotions, and literally picks up drumsticks and plays the drums daily ...
My son who may be on the spectrum is handled with so much care and patience. ...I pray that God will continue to shine a light on this organization because it has the ability to truly impact not only children’s but entire families' lives, reshape our futures, and present opportunities to our children."


Renu Hope Foundation
Renu Hope is the cornerstone of our Preschool 4 the Arts program, serving as the indispensable funding partner that makes everything we do possible. Without their unwavering support, we would not be able to provide high-quality, state-subsidized childcare to families across two counties and four cities.
Through their partnership, we utilize funding from the California State Preschool Program (CSPP) and General Childcare and Development (CCTR) programs, ensuring access to vital early childhood education and care for the communities we serve.
We extend our gratitude to the RENU Hope Foundation for trusting Heartbeat Music & Performing Arts Academy with these significant and rewarding initiatives.
Established in 1998, Renu Hope Foundation began its journey by acquiring a small preschool program serving just 17 children at a single location. Since then, the organization has experienced remarkable growth, expanding its reach to provide high-quality childcare and education services at 10 locations throughout Riverside County.
Renu Hope Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization governed by a dedicated Board of Directors. This board comprises representatives from local, state, and national government, as well as leaders in the business community, all united by a shared commitment to addressing the critical need for accessible childcare and education in Riverside County communities.
The foundation provides comprehensive services for children ranging from 6 weeks to 12 years of age, supporting families who meet specific eligibility criteria. Through its unwavering focus on early childhood education and care, Renu Hope Foundation continues to play a vital role in empowering families and strengthening the communities it serves.
