Our family of 5 is planning on moving from Scotts Valley, CA (near Santa Cruz) to Arroyo Grande. We have 3 girls, ages 5, 2 1/2, and 6 months. I'm hoping to find a great Parent Participation Preschool for my younger girls, any info on the preschools in the area would be great!
We'd also like to know what stay at home mom's do in Arroyo Grande/ SLO county? We're hoping to rent for a year or so, to get to know the town a little better before deciding where to buy. Does anybody know which part of town is best for a family with young children who like to play outside?!
The schools seem great, town is cute, and hardly any crime... but coming from Santa Cruz, Ca. I have to question what the homeless situation is like in AG? Do you see many homeless people walking the streets? Or transients of any kind? Any info on that would be helpful as well (= Thanks and I hope to hear any feedback you may have!

I cannot speak to preschools.

They go to the gym, golf, tennis, surf, bicycle, have coffee at Cafe Andreini, go hiking, lots to do, and keeping fit seems important in AG.

There are no bad parts of town, where you live will be dependent on your budget. I recommend a rural parcel, 1 to 5 acres, room for a garden, and the inevitable horses. Oak Park, Noyes Road, Old Oak Park, Printz Road, also east of town off Lopez Drive or Huasna Road

There are few if any homeless in Arroyo Grande, the odd one will walk through once in a while, but they tend to congregate in camps in Oceano, and along the creek in San Luis Obispo.

It is a nice town, lots to do, the schools are exceptional.
