You might have noticed that students around here sure love math! Earlier this week on St. Patrick's Day, students in Mrs. Dhami's Kindergarten class had fun sorting, adding, and graphing. If you find 10 rainbows and 6 clovers how many lucky charms do you have? Using tangible items with hands-on lessons helps bring math to life and students more easily grasp concepts! 🌈➕🍀
TK and Kindergarten are some of the most formative and foundational years in a child's educational journey. At Folsom Prep, we set up each child for success through our full-day programs.
Our TK teachers work with each child to build their literacy and math skills, so they are fully prepared to enter Kindergarten successfully. TK classrooms have a 12:1 student to teacher ratio, enabling our teachers to provide children with the 1:1 attention they deserve.
In Kindergarten, students learn to read, write, add, subtract, and spell. The average class size is 17 children, so teachers can spend more time during the day addressing the individual academic and social needs of each child.
But our teaching doesn't end at math, reading, and writing. Every child from TK-5th grade learns Spanish, music/drama, art, physical education, technology, STEAM, and more each week. By being exposed to a variety of subjects and teaching styles, students build social and emotional skills, grow their creativity, and experience hands-on learning.

"Our oldest son recently came back to Folsom Prep after being at public school for 2nd grade. We saw a huge difference between the education he had received at Folsom Prep and what he was learning in public school. At public school his reading comprehension was declining, he wasn’t getting the 1:1 attention he received before, and he was bored in math because he was relearning what he'd already learned in 1st grade at Folsom Prep. Since coming back, we’ve noticed so many positive changes – his reading has improved significantly, he loves enrichment classes (at public school, you get STEM lab maybe once a month or trimester – same with art), and he wants to get to school early every day because he loves it.” – Megan A., Parent

"When I was looking for schools for my son I was looking really for an environment that could tailor to his strengths. Obviously I want my son to excel in school, but I also really wanted him to love learning. And that’s been the biggest positive change I’ve seen in him. He’s excited to come to school and I know they’re pushing him academically because I’m regularly informed of the growth he’s doing." - Sonia S., Parent
In this month's Teacher Feature, it's all about the fabulous Ms. Dorvin! Ms. Dorvin is our 2nd & 3rd grade teacher who is nothing but warm and welcoming! She loves her students just as much as they love her, and we're so lucky to have her here at Folsom Prep. We asked her what she enjoys doing in her spare time, and one of her favorite things to do is...LEARN! Ms. Dorvin loves learning new things and brings that same enthusiasm into her classroom where she fosters a love of learning with her own students.
