Fair Oaks Preschool
We are a Recreation-Based Preschool Program!
Fair Oaks Preschool’s focus is on the social development of children ages three through five years old. Children will benefit by developing their social skills through play, art, projects, stories, songs, games, and outside play. Children will also have the opportunity to develop their independence, self-help and sharing skills and learn to follow directions.
Our free-flow structure and developmentally-appropriate curriculum provide an environment where each unique child can learn and grow, and where parents can learn more about their children. Find out more about class schedules, structure, what to expect, and more in the Parent Handbook. Fair Oaks Preschool is a license exempt recreation program.

- My child is too young for this school year, however I want them to attend when they're old enough. Can I add them to a waitlist now?
- No, we do not take a waitlist for students who are not currently eligible to attend. Please check back in Feb/March of the school year prior to them being eligible to attend for enrollment information.
- Do I need to re-do my Live Scan every school year?
- Nope! Live Scans are good for several years and do not need to be re-done each school year. However, fingerprinting does not cross over between agencies, so if you're fingerprinted somewhere else, you still need to complete it with FORPD.
- I only want my child to participate for one or two months. Can I register for just a couple of months instead of the school year?
- We do not typically approve registrations that are not continuous throughout the remainder of the school year from the time of registration, as it can cause limitations for families looking for the full year. For questions on applicable exceptions, please reach out to the Director.
- Is this a licensed preschool? Am I able to mark this program as Daycare for tax purposes?
- The Fair Oaks Recreation & Park District holds a recreation-based preschool, and therefore is not licensed. Record keeping for tax purposes is the responsibility of the parent, and the FORPD billing department does not provide end of year statements. Preschool is not considered daycare.
- Do I need to be TB Tested in order to volunteer in the classroom?
- Yes! All parent / guardians must be TB tested (completed by their own insurance/out of pocket expenses) and show proof of pass to the Preschool Director before volunteering in the classroom.

Your child’s health is of major importance to all of us. We require that parents inform us of any health problems.

The District will follow any CDC / Sac County health guidelines when it comes to disinfection or sanitation of the school as soon as possible. Should an outbreak occur (high number of confirmed cases of illness - can vary depending on illness), the school may be closed for a given period of time, and the District may issue a refund.
- If your child becomes ill at school, he/she will be isolated from the other children and parents or emergency contact will be called for pick up.

Injuries
Minor Injuries:
- Minor cuts and scrapes that occur while at the preschool will be washed with soap and water only. An ice-pack and/or band-aid will be provided if necessary.

Any prescribed medication that needs to be administered during Fair Oaks Preschool hours must be sent in the child’s lunchbox. Children will only be allowed to bring one day’s dosage of medication in their lunch box. Lunch boxes will be locked in a secure place and it is up to the child to remember to take their medication. Medications will not be allowed at Fair Oaks Preschool without a written note/prescription for the child’s doctor and approval noted on child’s form.

"A child’s resiliency is developed by the age of five years old. During that time, every person they meet and every moment they experience has the potential to build a ladder for that child. I love preschool because I am given that opportunity every single day."
