You Are My Sunshine Preschool

This school was an extension of our family. The care, love, patience, learning atmosphere and experience was amazing for our daughter to experience. Our daughter spent 3 years at this school and we couldn’t of been happier. Weekly news letters with photos, feedback on child’s development were given. Our daughter learned Spanish, science and many other subjects. I highly recommend this school and your kid will love this experience. Thank you Mrs. Jennifer for being a part of our family. My daughter is sad she is not returning due to kindergarten.

Fantastic preschool for your little one! Ms. Jennifer and her fellow teachers are very kind and caring. At this school my little one learned all the letters of the alphabet, beginning reading, several Spanish words and came home happy every time. This preschool has rabbits, chickens, chicks, and overall a great setup for learning and playing in the outdoors. When extreme temperatures come around, the kids are brought indoors where the setup for learning and playing is great there too. I highly recommend this preschool!

When my husband and I chose Folsom as the place to raise our family, we were drawn, as many people are, to the quality of the schools. We wanted our daughter to have the best start possible, so we thoroughly researched our preschool options in the area, and as soon as we visited You Are My Sunshine I knew we had come across something truly special. The children there really have the best of both worlds: a warm and nurturing place to play, imagine, and explore as little ones love to do, all while learning an incredible curriculum and valuable social skills that not only prepare them to succeed, but set them up to excel in the high caliber schools Folsom is known for. I honestly feel that an in-home preschool provides an environment that can't be matched by larger facilities and we feel very lucky to be a part of the You Are My Sunshine family.

You Are My Sunshine Preschool is absolutely magical! I found out about You Are My Sunshine Preschool while my son was getting a hair cut. I was talking with the lady next to me and she couldn't stop talking about how amazing her son's preschool was. After checking it out, I couldn't wait to enroll my son. The preschool is located at a home rather than an industrial size preschool. This means small class sizes that allows each student to truly get to know their teachers and other students. Ms. Jennifer brought a wide range of curriculum into the classroom and taught it in FUN ways. She created a very structured atmosphere so that the students came in and knew what to expect and were comfortable- at the same time making the students see how learning is FUN and WONDEROUS. I loved hearing all the stories after preschool. My favorite was my son telling me how he got to make chemical reactions! (I teach science in high school so I was a little biased here haha). Ms. Jennifer doesn't just teach your children. She invests in their progress. She truly wants every child to succeed and knows that in order to do that, you need to find the child's strengths and weaknesses. She communicated to each parent on a regular basis. She provided emails of each day's events so if your child was shy about talking to you , you would still know what happen. She also sent photos! The other thing that this preschool provides is a sense of belonging- not just the student but the families. Because it is a closer more intimate setting, strong bonds formed. My son remained friends with many of the students. Not only that but the values that Ms. Jennifer's school teaches tends to transend into the families. The families who attend this school are amazing. My son was in two different classes here and in both groups every parent was more than willing to help Ms. Jennifer with anything that the preschool needed. Families supported each other. This school taught my son to be confident, caring, and helpful. It taught him to have fun while he learns and to never give up. It taught him how to make friends, how to play. I know that last one sounds silly, but a shy kid sometimes needs help learning how to initate free play. I am so beyond thankful for meeting that lady at the hair salon because this preschool was AMAZING. She wasn't lying. Now I am the lady who can't stop bragging about You Are My Sunshine!

We are so lucky to have found You Are My Sunshine Preschool! Mrs. Jennifer, Ms. Heidi, Ms. Sara, and Ms. Kyndra are fantastic teachers. The ratio is low, and the activities are so much fun. Each day, Mrs. Jennifer sends out an email detailing what the children have done that day, and then pictures of them at the end of the week. Having this connection to the classroom was priceless, and very much appreciated! Every part of the program is so well thought out and executed. The art, science projects, great learning toys, and the dream backyard make this program ideal for both the kids and the parents. We love You Are My Sunshine!
