Describe your business. 

Full STEAM Academy (FSA) is a next-level childcare and early educational experience, specifically designed for children six weeks to five years of age. Our team has captured the best practice principles in childcare and early education to introduce The Core Knowledge Sequence and STEAM curriculum, infusing science, technology, engineering, art and math concepts into everyday play. It’s our goal to create an innovative and imaginative place for children and their families to explore and excel. We’ve developed a state-of-the-art facility, technology lab and creative arts studio that will establish our presence in Folsom as a premiere care and educational powerhouse.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

We have a team of talented instructors and caregivers who share our vision and bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our program. Our teachers are highly trained, state licensed and certified to provide the finest care and instruction for your children. It’s our staff’s passion and positive energy that inspires the imagination and growth of our youngest community members. At heart, we’re a family of teachers, administrators, industry professionals and parents with a desire to achieve excellence in motivating kids to succeed. Our family-focused center is built upon the spirit of forward-thinking, creativity and communication, to prepare our families and students for a brighter tomorrow. 

What’s your hidden talent?

I’m sometimes called the “gentle giant” by FSA parents and children. Contrary to my size, I’m 6’ 8”, little kids seem to relate to me; I easily connect with them and like to see them smile.

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

Manderes. I like the quality of their food and service, down-to-earth atmosphere and friendly owner.
