Hi Moms -
Just wanted to hear your recommendations on preschools that you have been involved with. We live in the Citrus Hts area. Last year we went to Fair Oaks Parent Part. preschool and enjoyed it. However, this year our teacher has been laid off, and we are reluctant to return without her. Any experience or recommendations I would appreciate - Im willing to travel - a little. Thanks
Sunrise Montessori ... nurturing, creative and fun for my 2.5 year old daughter.
My daughter goes to Creative Frontiers. It is a private school located on Sylvan (between Greenback and Auburn/Old Auburn). She has been going there since just before kindergarten (about the same age that your older child is). I love the school, the teachers, and the setting. It is a little less than $700.00 for a full time student with before and after care (6:30am to 6:00pm). It is less for school only, morning only, afternoon only, less days, etc.
I love the principal. He was just named administrator of the year. They have classes from age 2 or so through 6th grade. There is a pool on campus for summer use, a library, computer room, and during the summer, they offer horse back riding lessons (a big draw since my daughter loves horses). She just finished her fourth summer of lessons (extra charge for this only). If you are interested, let me know.
You said you were willing to travel...go see Tiny Tots Parent Participation Preschool on Bell in Carmichael. If we lived closer and had the money, I'd be there. Teacher Emily is excellent! The kids love her! The amazing thing is that the facility is all owned by the parents.
I was a teacher in Rancho Cordova before being a stay at home mom. We're currently homeschooling in Fair Oaks (5.5 yr boy, 4 yr. girl, and 9 m. girl.) You're welcome to email for more info. I know someone on the school's board.
Hope you find what's best for you.
Creative Frontiers on Sylvan is wonderful (i think) and provides full day for a reasonable price. tell them S. peacor sent you ; )
