Enlightened Play Preschools is licensed by the State Department of Social Services; Community Care Licensing division. We are located in a converted duplex that has served the West Sacramento and Sacramento areas since 1979. In fact, this location was originally Sacramento’s first privately owned infant center.
Fast-forward to 1996 when David Sathe and Julie Jenkins Sathe renovated the center with the property owner; reusing the space to allow for more children, creating an office and adding more modern carpet, tile and extending the playground. The site has grown and changed over the years, as is needed and as financing allows.
The children’s play area is completely secured behind the school building. Blacktop was replaced by cement, sand and bark add to the variety of textures, murals adorn the walls for creative inspiration and change is the one thing we can always count on. The sand box changes to a garden, while to cement changes to a trike path and … the beat goes on. Enlightened Play Preschools is licensed for 11 infants and toddlers: birth to 24 months, and 30 preschoolers 2 years to 6 years. We happily accept Kindergarteners before or after school who can provide their own transportation to and from elementary school.
