Action Day Learning Center -- Folsom is a longstanding, California-licensed provider in central Folsom with 45 years of continuous operation since 1980, the longest in the area researched. Serving infants through school-age children with programs including preschool, pre-K, and transitional kindergarten, the center operates 6:15 am–6:15 pm weekdays—among the earliest and latest hours available in Folsom—making it accessible to working families. Parents consistently report strong outcomes, including children excelling academically in kindergarten after attending the preschool program, and staff retention exceeds industry norms with many educators holding 10+ years of tenure. The center has a clean inspection record (CCLD license 343601112, most recent inspection September 2024) and maintains an active Yelp profile with solid ratings, though its small capacity of 25 limits enrollment availability.
