Welcome to Our Folsom Preschool!


It's so nice to "virtually" meet you!


Here's a little homemade video tour for you, too:


​We offer preschool classes in Folsom, CA for 2 year olds and older!

OUR PHILOSOPHY


​We believe in teaching young children using lots of:

Creative Art
Music & Movement
Science & Nature
Hands On Learning Games

​
Children are naturally curious about the world around them, so science comes naturally to preschoolers!  As a former scientist, I love this!  


Each preschool day includes:

Music/Yoga
Art/Science
Stories
Spanish
Hands-On Math
Phonics
Handwriting
& Plenty of Creative, Social Play Time

Parents tell us that their children are well prepared for kindergarten & beyond, and also LOVE learning!  We are so happy to make the first learning experience super fun for our preschoolers!

Our preschool days have the perfect balance of structure and social/imaginative time.  All teachers are background checked and credentialed, and absolutely love helping little ones grow to their best potential! 

If you want to help your child be the very best they can be, this is the program for you!!

We Pride Ourselves On Small Class Sizes!

Since we are an IN-HOME PRESCHOOL, we have a lower overhead than those other BIG businesses and are able to keep class sizes SMALL for more individual attention.  This way we can insure that each child gets exactly what they need!

Children can easily get lost in the sea of kids in programs with tons of children - but here at You Are My Sunshine, we know all the details of ​each unique child.
Now enrolling for August 2020!

2 Day Class​ Options
(You may choose 2 hours or 3 hours per class for the 2 day classes this school year. The third hour will include more organized learning activities for children ready for that.)

MORNING CLASS:
9:45-11:45 (2 hours), $230 per month

2 FULL DAYS:

The 2 day per week class is the perfect introduction for young kids to learn about being in a classroom setting.  This is a very child-led class with more freedom and less structure.  We recommend that younger children choose the 2 hour or 4.5 hour classes.

We will focus on social and emotional development primarily, while incorporating creative art, music, story time, hands-on science, and fine motor development.

This is a great way for children to become comfortable with being away from mom/dad and learn important classroom skills.
​
​Children should be working on potty training.

 The 3 day per week class is the preparation for leading your child to kindergarten success!  This pre-K class has a good amount of structure, balanced with social time.

The curriculum will be adjusted for each child's development stage.
