River Oaks Elementary School

Fairsite Preschool is the early learning campus of the Galt Joint Union Elementary School District, home to our California State Preschool classes and Transitional Kindergarten. The State Preschool Program serves income-eligible children who turn 3 by September 1 and offers part-day and full-day classes. Part-day children attend from 8:00 to 11:30 a.m. or from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and full-day children attend from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Our TK classes, for children who turn 4 by September 1, meet in AM and PM sessions. Both programs follow a developmentally appropriate core curriculum. Children receive meals and snacks, get daily recess, and visit our library and STEAM room every week. They also plant vegetables and flowers in our site garden with the district's environmental outdoor education coordinator, and Galt Expanded Learning serves students from TK up. Our First 5 Sacramento School Readiness Center, on the same campus, offers free services to Galt families with children from birth to age 5, including a bilingual parent and toddler playgroup and a home visitor program.
