School Notes

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
