    DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!! This place is a fraud…read more Guidepost Montessori at Folsom is a sham and does not even deserve 1 star. They will steal your money. This is not a school, but more like an overpriced and unqualified daycare. When I informed the administration of my complaints, they proceeded to defend their inadequate staff due to nepotism and did not refund my money for the month my kids did not attend due to bullying and poor teaching conditions. The elementary program has one teacher, Ms. Sangeetha, who encourages bullying, shame and treats her students with humiliation, as described by my 6 year old daughter at the time (she is 7 now and has vivid memories and stories of the terrible situation at that school). There is no learning, no homework or evidence that your child is even learning. I also reported Ms Sangeetha's inappropriate behavior of inviting my daughter on field trips without parental consent and not scheduling any meetings with us as parents to review my daughter's progress. My second child was in the toddler children's house with Ms Eva, who from my understanding, is not a Montessori trained teacher but rather simply the mother of another student in Ms Sangeetha's class. I reported Ms Eva and her assistant as being cold and ineffective. My 4 year old son informed us that both teachers left the children alone for long periods of time. He had a horrible experience and felt very neglected. He had a fall and giant knot/bump on his head on his first week there. Ms Eva also was an emotional wreck, who appeared to be crying on a daily basis. The staff that is hired here is questionable. There are "field trips" planned without parent consent or permission slips. My daughter had an accident at school and soiled herself and not one staff member alerted us or helped her. Our experience at this school was horrible and I am considering to take legal action based on the money that was taken from me and the neglect faced by my kids.

    We absolutely love Guidepost! Our family has been part of this community for 4 years now between…read moreboth of our daughters. Our oldest daughter thrived in their Spanish immersion program. Watching her learn to read in Spanish has been so rewarding - she was performing well above her peer level and entered kindergarten already ready for first grade. Now our youngest daughter has been in the class for some time too, and we're seeing the same great progress and love for learning. What truly sets this school apart is the teachers. They don't just educate but they genuinely love and care for them as if they were their own family. They are completely dedicated and having two children go through the program has only reinforced how great the environment is. The facility is consistently clean and safe, and we have complete trust in the staff. We feel totally comfortable knowing our kids are in great hands. The Montessori approach combined with Spanish immersion has given both our daughters such a strong foundation. After 4 years with this school, we couldn't be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Guidepost!

This program prioritizes play while also setting up a sensory-rich environment that encourages a just right challenge.

You can tell the teachers here are intentional about everything, and it shows in how the kids thrive. I'd especially recommend starting with the parent-child class. It's a really great way to ease in, learn more about the program, and connect with other families. Highly recommend!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The teachers are warm, patient, and truly invested in each child's growth, and the owners go above and beyond to create a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment.

I'm incredibly grateful for Joy of Children and would recommend it wholeheartedly to any family looking for a wonderful early learning community.

    Our son has been in several daycare and preschool settings in his short life, and this school has…read morebeen the most outstanding experience by far and a saving grace for our poor boy who hated school after several rough experiences. JOC is loving, nurturing, and educational in a way that goes above and beyond what we expected from a preschool. What brought us here primarily was meeting older children who had attended and exhibited amazing social skills and who played so kindly with our younger son. Also, their schedule. Our son stopped napping at 2.5 and was having to nap or have quiet time for 2+ hours at such an early time at every other school. This school does their full programming until 2 pm every day then just does an hour of rest from 2:30-3:30. (We don't do the extended day option and pick him up at 2:15, so he's there from about 9-2:15). That's so much more appropriate for his development and age, and is so much better for us as parents than most preschools offer. It's the perfect balance for us. They've also been so accommodating and wonderful in helping us choose the right schedule and days of week for him to attend. In the year he's been here, he has absolutely blossomed and come to love school. He is learning concepts and skills that I'm realizing many children don't encounter until kindergarten, and we're so proud of the knowledge, work, and projects he brings home each day. I only wish we had started him here sooner, and I am genuinely sad as we approach graduation. The school is run by twin sisters who are true gems -- kind, dedicated, and deeply invested in every child. Alecia and Elaine create a warm, family-like atmosphere where each child is seen, valued, and loved. They tell the children daily how special they are and how much they are loved, and I've seen his confidence and heart grow as a result. The entire teaching team has been wonderful and steady, which speaks volumes about the culture they've built. I especially appreciate the mixed 3-5 year old classroom model. The older children learn leadership and compassion, while the younger ones are inspired and supported. It has been such a gift for our son's social and emotional development. The style and format of the program truly fit him and have helped him thrive. They also have a well organized program and schedule with lots of time outdoors. Lunch & snacks are also provided, which is so helpful for us. He rarely ate his lunch when I packed it for him before, but eating the same thing as everyone else together ensures he is nourished every day. Communication with parents is excellent. We feel included, informed, and welcomed to provide feedback or ask questions. There are really beautiful, big events and meaningful opportunities for parent engagement, which has helped us feel connected to his school life. They just did a sweetheart coffee with daddy's and it was so precious - they learned sweet songs and had a beautiful moment in appreciation of dads and dad stand-ins. Their Christmas show was also spectacular. We still sing many of the songs they learned. They also do a field trip walk to the park day and several events that allow for parent participation in fun and balanced ways. After touring and trying many preschools across Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, and surrounding areas, we can honestly say this one stands out in every possible way. We commute 20 minutes each way, and it is absolutely worth it. I truly cannot recommend this school highly enough. It has been a beautiful, foundational chapter in our son's life, and we are so grateful for the love, education, and joy they have given him. Thank you, thank you our hearts sing! We're truly grateful for everything

    My husband and I are so happy we placed our 2 yr old son at Cadence Academy…read more He was previously in an in home daycare and our experience did not go well. He was constantly upset at pick up and when we got home he would refuse to be put down. Multiple times we were asked to pick him up because he would not stop crying. We realized he was not receiving the care and attention he needed to grow as well as his needs weren't being understood. Needless to say after that experience we incredibly hesitant in placing him anywhere else. I found Cadence Academy online and decided to take a tour of the facility and was luckily enough to meet some of the staff as well. We decided to move forward with going here. We enrolled him at Cadence Academy at the beginning of September and he's come so far under the care of the amazing staff there. His teachers Ms. Kristina, Ms. Liz, Ms. Emily and Mr. Bran have been absolutely wonderful with him and assisting him with his adjustment to daycare. They are patient, understanding, kind and caring. Everyone works together as a team to help each other with all the kids. Even the director, Rebecca steps in as needed as does Jeannette. Everyone is so communicative and provides updates on his day during pick up. We also love the schedules the kids have and they release a monthly calendar with different events for the month (this week is spirit week and I love it!). This I believe really will help my son with getting used a regular school setting when the time comes. Not to mention we get a weekly food menu for the kids as snacks and lunch are provided. The staff also use an app to communicate with parents and provide daily updates as well as pictures! We get a weekly update on what the kids did for the week. I love seeing the updates and seeing my child learn. The tuition at Cadence Academy is more than fair considering everything they do and provide. It's true when they say, you get what you paid for!

The director Ms Becca runs a tight ship and does a great job helping to build community amongst families ( waffle Wednesday, trunk or treat, st Jude's trike-a-thon) all while making the kid's day safe, fun, and full of collaborative play -based learning opportunities. So happy we landed here!

    This review is long overdue, and I feel compelled to share our experience at Sunshine Preschool to…read moreensure that no other child endures what my son has faced. My child attended this preschool from August to December 2024, and as a parent of a child on the spectrum, I was hopeful and optimistic about his experience. I communicated my son's struggles with new environments to Jennifer, who assured me that everything would be fine. While my son did have a challenging start, after three weeks, he began to adjust and thrive. We received weekly pictures and kind messages from Jennifer, which reassured me during tougher days. However, a few months in, I noticed unsettling changes in my son's behavior. As any parent of a child on the spectrum knows, regression can happen for various reasons, and I initially attributed it to illness and the challenges of being around new peers. I tried to address these behaviors at home, relying on strategies I learned from his previous occupational therapist. Then, an alarming incident occurred. After picking him up one day, my son revealed that a classmate--whom we'll refer to as Student A--had hit him. When I asked if he informed the teacher, he said yes, and described how Student A could be both nice and mean. I didn't think much of it at the time, believing the teachers had handled the situation. But then, on December 29, everything changed. My son came to me in distress, saying that Student A was bullying him, throwing things at him, and even touching him inappropriately. He confided that he hadn't told me sooner because he feared that Student A would come to our house and harm us and our dog. Shockingly, he said this threat originated from his teacher. My son was in turmoil, hyperventilating and terrified of the repercussions of speaking out. This incident has fundamentally altered my son's ability to play and interact with others, not only at school but even at the park. We immediately brought this to Jennifer's attention, as well as to our son's doctor. While Jennifer initially reached out, I later sent her a detailed email outlining the entire incident, yet to this day, I have not received a response. I filed a report, but the unfortunate reality is that the young ages of the children involved make it difficult to pursue any action--especially when the teachers deny any wrongdoing. It's disheartening and infuriating. My son has been profoundly affected by this experience, requiring therapy and now grappling with trauma that could have been prevented. I urge parents to carefully consider their options when selecting a preschool. Ensure that your child will be protected and supported. My son deserved better, and no child should have to endure what he went through. Please, take this into account when making your decision. Your child's safety and well-being depend on it. I'm also willing to show anyone proof of the messages that were sent back and forth to Jennifer ( the messages contain more details of the incident that happened)
