A Place of My Own

Specialties

We are a preschool & child care serving children ages 2 – 6. We spend our morning divided into three groups for traditional preschool time. Our Yellow Duck group is children ages 2 – 3 ½ and the Red Bird group is 3 & 4 year olds. The Green Frog group is for children going on to kindergarten the next school year. We plan our curriculum around monthly themes relating to the time of year, children’s interests, and holidays. In addition during the traditional school year (September-​May), we also have alphabet letters, numbers, shapes and colors that we focus on. After lunch and naptime we spend the rest of the afternoon together as a large group. One of the advantages of mixed age groups is that each child can seek out his own level, his own speed, and his own interests. Each child has the opportunity to receive help from others as needed and may act as the helper in return.

History

Manager

As Director of APOMO I first began here in 1999 while I was on summer break from Sacramento State. After graduating with my Bachelors degree in Child Development I returned as a teacher & taught for several years with many great people. In 2004 I got the chance to be the Director & was excited to play a different role in the place I love so much. I took a brief step away from directing in 2007 but came back in September 2008. We have an amazing dedicated team of teachers. Four of our five teachers have been here over 7 years. Each teacher has unique strengths and abilities that form a community to meet the individual needs of each child.
