Action Day Learning Center

We moved to Folsom earlier in the year and had to find our daughters a new daycare & before/​after school program. We had previously used larger chain day cares. This was our first experience with a smaller program. It has worked out so well for our family. The kids are thriving at this daycare and the teachers work hard to make them comfortable and happy. They have one of the best outdoor play yards that I have ever seen. The entire back play area is like a park. And to top it off, they serve lunch and snacks! We previously had to pack lunches every day and this has been a treat to no longer do this every day. They also transport our school ager to and from school. For a working parent, transportation to/​from school for the odd start/​end times for school age kids is incredibly helpful

Action Day is great! My 3^rd child just started today! The staff is great. The facility is clean and full of activities to keep the children learning. Ms. Kelli is so dedicated to all the children that step thru that door and it shows. I lived in Folsom when my 1^st child went to AD. Then we moved to Granite Bay and I still sent my 2^nd and 3^rd here because I didn’t find anything that could compare! I highly recommend ADLC for your preschool needs.

Both of our kids have been coming here for years. Teachers have all been great. Play area is the best we found in Folsom.

I came here for an interview when I was considering different preschools for my daughter. As per usual, the director offered to let her go play with the other children while we talked about things, but for some reason, it took a lot more convincing than usual to get her to leave me. I think both of us just had a really, really bad feeling about this place.
I decided not to come here because it was kind of dark and musky, and didn’t smell great. It just didn’t seem like the most stimulating environment. On top of this, the director was really quirky, and kept changing what she said. At first she said they accept all types of payment. Then she said they accept stage 2 and 3 of Child Action but not Stage 1. So «If you want to take your daughter somewhere else in the meantime, and then bring her back if you ever get stage 2, that would be great.» Who would want to take their kid one place for a little bit and then make them change schools?
She also could not give me a direct answer about scheduling and routines, and made it sound as if they go with the flow, and there is no real set routine for each day.
My daughter is in kindergarten now, and I often walk by the Action Day bus as the director is unloading the children, and I have noted that she is much less kind when not interviewing a potential customer. She is snide and rude to the children, like someone who is way overworked and needs a break – at 11am. After seeing the way she behaves when she thinks no one is watching her, there’s no way I would ever bring my daughter here.
P. S. This building used to be a brothel. Does that explain why we felt so creeped out when we walked in?
