At Folsom Lake Montessori Academy (FLMA), education is more than just letters and numbers — it’s about creating a foundation for lifelong learning, curiosity, and compassion. Rooted in the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori, our academy proudly serves children from six weeks to 12 years old, offering a rich blend of academic excellence, cultural diversity, and emotional development.
Our Montessori Philosophy
Grounded in the educational principles of Dr. Maria Montessori, our curriculum is built on respect, independence, and a love for learning. Through hands-on activities, self-directed discovery, and age-appropriate challenges, students gain critical early skills in language, math, science, and practical life.
Our Montessori-trained educators are deeply committed to nurturing your child’s natural curiosity and confidence. We guide each child at their own pace, fostering an early sense of responsibility, empathy, and self-worth.
Montessori in the Modern World
Montessori education is centered around respect, independence, and purposeful learning. At FLMA, our classrooms are thoughtfully prepared to inspire children to explore and discover at their own pace. Every activity, from math to practical life skills, is designed to encourage confidence, concentration, and a love for learning.
But Montessori doesn’t mean outdated. We continuously evolve with the latest research in early childhood development, incorporating tools that reflect today’s world while staying true to the timeless Montessori method.

Diversity is Our Strength
We believe children flourish in an environment that mirrors the real world — colorful, multicultural, and inclusive. At FLMA, diversity isn’t a buzzword — it’s embedded in our curriculum, our hiring practices, and our classroom discussions. From celebrating cultural holidays to exploring world languages and global traditions, our students grow up learning to respect, understand, and value differences.

From check-ins and updates to messages and milestone tracking, Brightwheel builds a bridge between school and home — strengthening trust, transparency, and partnership.
Community & Enrichment Beyond the Classroom

From Karate and Zumba to Kids Yoga, Amazing Athletes, Spanish, and even Robotics, we make learning active and joyful. Our students build not only academic skills, but also teamwork, discipline, and resilience.
