Forever Young
Since 1979, Forever Young has created a learning environment that is nonviolent and gender-neutral which respects the diversity of all cultural and ethnic viewpoints. Our basic philosophy is to respect each child and their developmental level.
Forever Young is a nonprofit Co-Op child care center with an all-parent Board of Directors, which offers an all-inclusive infant & toddler program. We accept babies 6 weeks up to 2 years old.
Meals, diapers, and wipes are all included in your child's tuition. In addition, Forever Young provides natural, healthy vegetarian meals made in-house by experienced staff.
​
History
Established in 1979.
​
In 1979, a group of parents with infants and young children looked at daycare centers in the Sacramento area and found none to their liking. They decided to start something new - a cooperative concerned not with making a profit or homogenizing their children, but instead, a loving place that put the health and happiness of the children first. They named it Forever Young after a song by Bob Dylan. More than forty-four years later, Forever Young is still going strong and still adhering to the core principles upon which it was founded.
Philosophy
We stress choice in activities, independence, exploration, self-sufficiency, and respect. We believe that healthy, happy, and confident children are successful children.
Outstanding Quality
Our unique parent-run co-op board structure ensures that every parent has an active voice in shaping how the center operates and evolves. As a member, you'll directly influence decisions that impact your child's experience and help us respond to the ever-changing needs of our families. This collaborative approach fosters a stronger community, where your input is valued, and together, we create a nurturing and enriching environment for all the children we serve.

“I'm so grateful we chose Forever Young for my daughter's first daycare experience. She has grown and learned so much in her time there. The staff are all really friendly and great at their roles. My daughter has grown really close to many of the staff members because of the extra time and attention they are able to give her because they are always well staffed. Some daycares we toured felt too regimented and stiff and at Forever Young she was able to just be a kid and play. I never worried about her missing a nap or a meal. They always went by her cues. I'm so sad she cannot stay here longer. Forever Young has set the bar high for her next daycare.​"

"Forever Young is a fantastic childcare center. My child has been coming here and thriving since she was six months old. It's a smaller center, so it's very inviting and the children receive lots of attentive care from dedicated and nurturing staff, many of whom have worked at FY for 20+ years! The toddlers get to spend lots of active time outdoors in a nicely shaded play area which my kid loves. Families and staff get together a few times a year for social events which builds a strong sense of community and fosters fun for everyone! I cannot recommend Forever Young enough to any parent."

“We've had such a great experience with Forever Young Daycare! My son went there until he graduated, and now my daughter currently attends. It's been such a positive experience for our family.
The teachers are amazing -- they're caring, patient, and really good with both the kids and the parents. Communication is always great, and I truly feel like my kids are in a safe and loving environment every day.
We're so grateful for everything they've done for our family and would definitely recommend Forever Young to other parents!”
