Looking for a great Pre-K program (Sacramento, Folsom: credit, daycare, home)

[dancr1799]

My family and I are relocating to the Sacramento area in early February. We have finally narrowed our hometown search(thanks to alot of information posted on this site! but now need to find a preschool/pre-k program for my son. We are hoping to find a home in either Folsom, El Dorado Hills, or Lincoln. Any tips on great programs in these areas would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you in advance for all the help!

We had our daughter at Brighton School on Auburn-Folsom Rd in Granite Bay for awhile. Overall, we were happy with the school and she seemed to love it. Our concerns began when we noticed food left on the floor long after lunch and snacks. When we brought it up with the director, she said for some reason the janitorial svc kept skipping that room. It was as if I had antlers sprouting from my head when I asked why the teachers didn't wipe up the floor (it was sticky when I picked her up as though juice had been allowed to dry). This was early 2006. I don't know if they have changed their cleanliness requirements since then. They did have a great indoor gym for the kids and nice shaded outdoor play areas. I can't recommend them, but I can at least share my experience. I cannot for the life of me think of the other school we were going to try out before we decided to leave CA, but if I think of it, I'll let you know. It was in Folsom off Riley St.

My grandson who will be 3 in March attends Brighton School at the Granite Bay location. It's too bad that a sticky floor was the sole criteria for negative comment when the school has so many positive attributes. I have found the teachers to be well trained, caring and genuinely concerned about the children in their care. There are also two Brighton Schools in Folsom. One is on Levy Road and the other is in Natoma Station. These two schools are the only NAEYC accredited daycare facilities in Folsom. Although the Granite Bay school is not yet accredited it is held to the same high standards. From my experience watching my grandson grow both academically and socially I would highly recommend the Brighton Schools.
