The teachers here are amazing! My middle schooler even had a teacher from his old public school, which was super helpful since he planed to go back to public high school later. This kept him on track (and even ahead) with what he needed to know. Something that I love is that the kids are outside ALL THE TIME! They have class outside, eat lunch outside, and do pretty much everything outside unless the weather is really bad. In summer, they sit under shady trees with nice breezes. In winter, they bundle up with jackets and blankets near space heaters. It reminds me of how European kids spend way more time outdoors instead of being stuck inside all day. My kids have learned tons and made great friends here. If you've read the book "Wild and Free," this school follows that idea perfectly. Kids learn, play, and grow at their own speed. Even if your kids go to regular school, Wild Roots has awesome summer camps that cost less than a babysitter! The kids learn cool stuff while having fun outside. I tell everyone looking for homeschool help around Folsom to check out Wild Roots. It's been such a great place for my family!

We just wrapped up the party, and I can honestly say the customer service has been amazing from beginning to end. The owner, Robin, and another staff member (I believe her name was Sunny) hosted the party, and they were both incredibly patient, accommodating, easygoing, and brought such great energy and vibes to the entire experience. What I really appreciated was that it wasn't just "free play." They organized a variety of activities that kept kids of all ages engaged and having fun. Our birthday girl turned 4, and we had guests ranging from ages 1 to 12 -- plus the adults even had fun too! Overall, we were beyond impressed and so happy we chose to celebrate here. Huge thank you to Robin and Sunny for making my daughter's birthday so special. You both did an amazing job! Highly recommend!

I've met so many parents who raved about their kids loving My Gym. The reviews on Yelp also sold me…read moreto purchase the membership. I will admit our first class I was still skeptical and a little upset thinking this isn't for her. Could have been because I signed her up for an age range that met her age (2 years) all the way up to 9 years, Mighty Mixers. Gymsters class might've been a more suitable one to start her off with first. It's been 2 months since we've been attending classes and my daughter absolutely LOVES coming here. It's great social interaction for my toddler and it's amazing to see how much more strength and skills she's obtained in a short amount of time. I appreciate the ability to easily switch up your class time, mark absent, and schedule make ups all online. The staff we've encountered so far are all fantastic! They really hone in to each child's personality and skills while still maintaining a way to be fun. And they're so approachable, especially to the shy kiddos. My daughter actually shouts "YAY" when I say we've arrived to My Gym. Talk about having an impact! Can't wait to see where we are with her skills in another few months.

I walked by this place and thought it was so cute. Rang the doorbell and a man came and let us in…read moreto take a look. There is a front portion you can buy art and trinkets and then the rest of the space is for creatives. He gave us a tour which was awesome and there is SOOO MUCH you can do here. Any craft under the sun they have space and equipment for. There's a wood working area, 3-D printing, huge etching machines, t-shirt printing, machines for jewelry crafts, space to work on laptops or schoolwork etc. There's is so much to do here and if you are a creative I deff recommend checking this place out. There was a girl there who was 3-D printing bones of the body and in a hand to help her with her Anatomy class. The gentlemen that showed us around helped teach her some tricks on the 3-D printing and how to do it and he is passionate about creating and helping others be able to use the space or any machine in there just ask and he will show you. I LOVE that, such a great community, definitely recommend the space and studio!

My son and I used to enjoy fishing here, but since closing the launches and forcing adults to wear life jackets on paddle boat watercraft or threatening to kick us off the water...your time could be spent better elsewhere that doesn't feel like the rest of California telling you what to do.

Switching to Art Beast was one of the best decisions we made. He adjusted incredibly quickly, in fact, within his first week, the teachers commented that it felt like he'd been there forever. They also played a huge role in helping us potty train him, and he was fully potty trained within about a month of starting. The teachers are genuinely kind, caring, and deeply invested in the kids. You can tell they put their heart and soul into the activities, projects, and experiences they create every day. We love the creative, play-based approach, while still having enough structure to help kids thrive. One thing that really stands out is the mixed-age environment, which has been a great fit for our son. The space itself is multi-story, and thoughtfully designed. They also make great use of their backyard space, which is impressive for a Midtown location and the pricing is on par with other daycares in the area. The location is convenient, and I've never had an issue finding parking for drop-off or pick-up. I highly recommend Art Beast to any family looking for a creative, nurturing, and well-structured play-based daycare.

It will be 2 years this December since my child has been attending ArtBeast preschool program! Not…read moreto brag but he was their first student so I think that is a pretty good qualification in rating this place. Our experience with this program has been nothing but love. They genuinely care for the children, and create a safe place both physically and emotionally. There are so many activities offered throughout the day so the kids never get bored. My initial fear in putting my child into a new environment was quickly quieted once I met all the wonderful teachers. The actual space is beautiful as there are activities designated to different areas of the facility. These include: mud kitchen in the backyard, art on the main floor, dance studio upstairs, fire truck room, and plenty of comfy corners to read a book, just to name a few! If you're on the fence I recommend at least taking a tour of the preschool. You won't find a more inclusive and welcoming space elsewhere. My family has had a wonderful experience, and we look forward to many more memories to be had at ArtBeast.

We recently visited FairyTale Town with our two toddlers and absolutely loved it! If you're in…read moreSacramento with little ones, this is easily one of the best ways to spend a morning or afternoon. You can easily spend half a day here without anyone getting bored. What We Loved Immersive Play: The range of play structures is incredible. Our kids were obsessed with the recreations of famous children's books--walking through Mr. McGregor's Farm felt like stepping right into a storybook. Animals & Nature: Beyond the slides and climbing, the petting zoo and the peaceful Japanese pond (Urashima Taro) provided a great change of pace for the kids. Interactive Learning: The children's theatre is a gem. They have dedicated storytime and puppet shows that kept the toddlers completely engaged. Why It's a Must-Visit What makes this place even more amazing is that it's a non-profit. Knowing that your $10 admission (an absolute steal for the quality of the park!) goes back into maintaining such a creative space for the community makes the experience even better. It's right across from the Sacramento Zoo, so you can make a full day of it in Land Park if you have the energy! Perfect for ages 1-6, but even older kids will enjoy the nostalgia and creative structures.

Amusement park in Sac (Land Park)…read more Currently, admission is $10/person. (Kids under two are free.) They also have some member options that are worth it if you plan to go frequently. Parking can get a bit difficult, since it's also close to the Zoo and Funderland. There are areas to slide, climb, and play. Also, there are animals (goats, rabbits, chickens/rooster, ox, mini horse, pigs) inside. The gift shop mostly contains generic items that don't say Fairytale Town, which don't make for the best of souvenirs. If you've never been here before, you can likely count on your kid enjoying at least a couple of hours here before getting bored. I'd say it's geared more for the younger children...older kids would probably benefit more from visiting the other two nearby attractions.

This is her 3rd year taking the class and it is the only class she actually wants to participate in after school even though there are many other fun and educational offerings at her school (from Dream Enrichment Classes as well as other vendors/providers). This year has been her favorite b/c she really likes her teacher Ms. Tina. She says there's much more freedom to interact with other students and the noise level/interactivity isn't as much a concern with this teacher as previous ones so then the kids are more free to really get into their various weekly projects. Even though my daughter isn't especially into science/engineering/other STEM subject matters, she loves EE. She says it's just so fun and interesting. I'm glad for this program at her school and hope it continues. She enjoys it so much and the pictures they take show how much all the kids learn through all the weekly challenging projects. It is not cheap, per se, but for less than $400 for a whole school year's worth of classes, averaging out to less than $20 per class, my husband and I feel it's a good investment of time and money for our little one. We're glad she likes EE and hope she'll continue to grow in knowledge and understanding of STEM through this and other similar enrichment classes, even if she doesn't enter into a STEM career path, we still want her to be enriched through these experiences.

They explained that everything happened at the last minute and they're working on getting the location back so that way we can have an afterschool program for my child. This is not OK. I want a full refund right away. I should've known better but I really need an afterschool program for my daughter. I use them last year and there was a lot of disorganization and dysfunction. My daughter's art teacher last spring was horrible. Always on her phone. It was one teacher for over 16 kids. The teacher was supposed to be teaching art and the art projects would come back as pencil work on some scrap paper. I had no idea what I'm paying for. When I asked her why I was getting back scrap paper with pencil work. She said to me that she ran out of supplies and the dream enrichment office wasn't dropping off a replenishment of supplies for her, so she was just using scrap paper and pencils for multiple weeks. I recommended this after school program to my brother and sister-in-law for early engineers because my nephew loves legos and they were desperate looking for after school programs. I'm going to tell them to not send my nephew to this class because there are other programs out there. Please don't waste your money. Everything seems disorganized and very last minute. I also have to say that kids in the class do whatever they want and once they did get a replenishment of supplies they were very old and broken, such as broken crayons. I will never ever use this after school program again. Please save your money.
