We are in a red brick church building in the heart of east Sacramento. Although we lease our space from The Table Church and have a great relationship, we are not affiliated.

Families can get on our wait list (click "enroll now" on our website page) and if there is availability/openings, we will offer your family a tour. To limit the amount of people and disruptions in the classrooms, we offer tours when there is availability and your child is age ready. Thank you for understanding!

Nope! We completely support and respect each child’s timeline on reaching this BIG milestone. As with all development, it happens on individual timelines.

It’s not a race and the age of mastery is not an indicator of anything other than a child’s own readiness to take that step. Our role is to be in communication with families and support the journey for each child.

Snacks: Artenia Beast staff will provide a nutritious snack daily each morning and afternoon. Children will rotate in to help with snack and serving. Our snack menus will be posted our parent comunication platform: Lillio. We will include two of the four food groups for each snack. Typical snacks are: Cheese, fruit slices, crackers, beans and tortillas, yogurt and fruit, milk and cereal, oatmeal and fruit, hummus and crackers, toast and sun butter. Please let us know if your child has a food allergy.

Though Artenia Beast provides daily snacks. We ask families to send a nutritive lunch meal that meets guidelines for optimal health. We do not allow candy, gum, sweets, or soda pop. Please place your child's meal in the classroom or in their cubby. Lunch should be insulated on ice or in thermos. Lunch bags will stay unrefrigerated until meal time.

We deeply believe that teachers need rejuvenation and rest. During this time they spend time with their children and families. This is crucial for personal renewal and our team is paid during all closure days.

Our school is closed, state and federal holidays, and observes SCUSD calendar.

We are a year-round school and open in the Summer months.

Our closures include: Thanksgiving week, a week of summer closure, a week for spring break and two weeks for winter break. 

We are most grateful for these periods of rest. These breaks allow us to avoid the use of substitute teachers and maintain our level of loving inspired teaching day to day. 

Yes! We do accept subsidy from Child Action.
