Joy of Children Preschool

This preschool is really recommendable. My 4 year old daughter has been a child who has learned order and rules here for more than a year. Teachers discipline smoothly, patiently and firmly. Although it is not a state-of-the-art facility, my daughter receives an education that should be provided for her age. My child became to enjoy vegetables and beans through the meals served here. There is no racial discrimination just because we are Asian. The two directors(owners) give hugs and kisses to the children, and show love and respect to the parents. I think it is a great blessing to know this place.

JOC Preschool has nurtured and empowered so many kids while developing strong minds and kind hearts…for 35 years! 7 years in TX and 18 years here in Folsom. The owners/teachers Ms. Alecia and Ms. Elaine as well as their Joy Makers/Assistant Teachers, are very passionate about empowering children, teaching them to be kind, loving and respectful while providing a loving, caring, structured environment so the kids come out better prepared for Kindergarten. They really treat our children as their own children, even up to now. Because once you’re a JOC family, always a JOC family! Not only do they empower the kids, but us parents as well. We learned so much about love and kindness, about patience and what truly matters when raising a child. We found out about them upon the recommendation of a TK teacher from a private school for 17 years. In all her years of teaching, she said kids who come from JOC always came better prepared skill-wise as well as socially, mentally and emotionally. And it’s true! Now that we’ve experienced them, and have seen TK programs in other schools, we strongly recommend if you want your child to be better prepared for K or even 1st grade, enroll them to JOC! You’ll soon realize you’ve done one of the best decisions in your life as a parent for your child, and your family!🙏🏻♥️🏫💞

The prices are relatively lower compared to other places, so the facilities are somewhat outdated. The education provided is basic but a bit lacking. They prioritize a natural environment, so they don't use much lighting, making the indoors a bit dark. They regularly hold events inviting families to help parents connect with each other.

This is the most wonderful preschool. My son has been attending since January and we’ve seen such a positive difference in him since then. Not only has he grown academically, but he is generally a better child. The teachers know how to make learning fun and they genuinely love preschoolers. I cannot recommend highly enough.

We love this place. Alicia and Elaine (twin sisters from Texas that run it) are wonderful. They stress manners and yet always get goodbye hugs from every kid at the end of the day. There is almost no teacher turnover (so different from other pre schools) and kids are always happy.
