Fair Oaks (unincorporated CDP) counted 32,514 residents on April 1, 2020 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 Decennial Census (QuickFacts, population April 1, 2020)). Landmarks your preschooler will actually use: Fair Oaks Village, American River Parkway, and Madison Avenue. High school reference point: Bella Vista High School.

Ballet Classes for 3 Year Olds — what we actually teach
These are the pieces of ballet classes for 3 year olds at the Roseville studio, not a generic style list.
What Fair Oaks parents actually ask before they drive 16–20 minutes
A parent-and-tot class is too baby; they want to see if they can do standing in line without you on the floor. Instructors are chosen for early-childhood skill, not for how many pirouettes they can do. Fair Oaks families typically make this decision based on Fair Oaks Village traffic and whether 16–20 minutes fits the week.
Saturday exists
If weekday nap schedule is sacred, ask for the Saturday preschool block.
Separation is optional at first
If they melt down, we talk parent-and-me. Pride is not a placement tool.
Path into real ballet
When listening sticks, they move toward the classical ballet track — same building, same director.
Built for age 3, not “tiny adult”
Positions are taught as pictures and songs. We do not expect a silent barre.
What age 3 (pre-ballet / creative movement) class actually looks like
You will receive a clear note if they need to stay in parent-and-me for another session. Some weeks they only get to watch. That still counts as showing up! Schedule note: Preschool-age classes take place weekday mornings, afternoons and Saturday. -- ask which 3-year-old block has a seat. Billing: Tuition is automatically billed on the 1st. Classes are not prorated for missed days, holidays, or the two-week summer and winter breaks. Disenrollment requires 30 days written notice.
