Fair Oaks Store Aids Parents Who Home-School Their Kids
Fair Oaks, CA – Diana Hilton would occasionally boil over with frustration after she began home-schooling her teen daughter and kindergarten-age son, telling her husband that someone should open a Sacramento-area store offering a range of books and teaching aids for parents like her.
Then one day, Mark Hilton began asking, “Why don’t you?”
The Hiltons opened their bookstore, A Brighter Child, in a 2,000-square-foot space nearly 15 years ago, but just this last November, they moved into a location that is triple the size of that original shop. The new store, at 8125 Greenback Lane in Fair Oaks, has grown far beyond being only a bookstore. It is also a gift shop, a consulting company and an alternative classroom for kids.
