Antelope Childcare – About Us

At Something Extra Preschool & Childcare we believe that knowledge is gained by active exploration.

We encourage active play in areas that interest children. We believe that children are wise, thoughtful, and reflective.

Our philosophy is to not only trust our students to make these leaps in insight, but give them a safe space to do so.

A comfortable, thriving environment will truly bring out the best in your child!

Benefits Of Our Antelope Childcare

We must prepare our children for the changes ahead even when we can’t predict them. Our children must become empowered thinkers in order to meet the world that awaits them. By using active learning experiences, we help children produce ideas of their own.

We work closely with the Sacramento County Department of Education (SCOE) in the Quality Rating Improvement System and with Child Action to make sure we have the latest tools and resources available so that children at Something Extra have the best start possible.

Parents and children enjoy many benefits at Something Extra Preschool, including:

• Secure learning environment
• Flexible preschool and daycare schedules
• Stimulating daily activities
• Active learning and communication with teachers and peers
• Close proximity to local elementary school
• Nutritious meals cooked on site
• Strong preparation for Kindergarten and beyond

Professional And Experienced Staff

The staff at Something Extra Preschool & Childcare works hard to provide an environment in which these active learning experiences are available while the children have fun and build great friendships.

Our ownership team has more than 35 years experience in California child care, with owners John and Jamie Throckmorton having been with the school since 1992!

Collectively, the Something Extra Preschool staff has close to 50 years experience in the child care industry.

Our team's primary goal is to help your child grow mentally, physically and socially. They become life-long learners under our care.

We want children to leave our school feeling comfortable and confident that they can handle changes that come their way, and to be able to function successfully in the future.

Children are encouraged to make choices and come up with ideas, these choices and ideas are respected by other children and teachers alike.
