Thomas Dooley School- Input Needed

Hi R.,
My son went to Dooley. I had gotten some good recommendations on it. But to be honest, I was disappointed. It is a "play based" program, and they did not do much in the way of learning. He made friends and had fun, but I was looking for a little more than that. I can highly recommend the preschool program at his current Montessori school,(it was a little out of our price range)if you are interested. Let me know and I will give you more details. Good luck.

I live in North Roseville and have also heard great things about the Fraser School District.
I work in the field of Early Childhood Education and this spring I took my son to Dooley to observe a session of the parent & toddler class. I was impressed with the facility, the playground, and the way the teacher interacted with the children.
Preschool is meant to be "play-based". Young children learn best through play. Preschool is all about learning how to socialize with other children and getting used to being away from mommy.
So in my opinion, Dooley seemed perfect. We will be doing the parent & toddler class this fall on Wednesday nights.

My sis in law heard RAVE AWESOME reviews about this school and enrolled her son...3 now, 4 in Dec. for their preschool classes...
