School Notes
- Just as each child is unique; each Montessori school is unique! Folsom Montessori offers beautiful, inviting classrooms with sequenced, hands-on learning activities encouraging thought, exploration, and creativity. Children follow their own interests and take the time they need to internalize each experience.
- In our classrooms, intellectual, creative, physical, and social growth flourish.
- Folsom Montessori, founded in 1980, was the first Montessori school in Folsom.
- Wonderful children and families have filled our school for 42 years!
- As Montessori teachers, we are trained to know when to give guidance and when to step back and allow the children the satisfaction of their own work, discoveries, and successes.
- Our low teacher/child ratio enables our experienced teachers to spend more time with each child. Our preschool classes have a maximum of 7 students/teacher. Our PreKindergarten class has a mazimum of 8 students/teacher.
- We offer a morning preschool class: Mon-Fri 8:45am - 11:45am
- We offer a mornng PreK/Kindergarten: Mon-Fri 9am - noon
