“It took a simple birthday party at a “fun zone” for us to realize the value of a Montessori education at Rancho Viejo School. All around, dozens of kids were running and screaming, arguing and fighting. These children were not from RV Montessori. My 3 year old daughter was terrified.
We found our group and the birthday boy and several older classmates called my daughter to join them. They realized how frightened she was so they took her hand and said they would help her play. The boys gently took her to the top story of the play structure where they helped her fire balls from the cannon. They did not argue or fight about who gets to go next, or that this little girl was taking too much time. They just enjoyed playing and helping each other.”
Leadership is taught at an early age in Montessori. Love, kindness and respect are natural byproducts of the RV Montessori environment. This is why our family has sent, at one time or another, all three of our girls to Rancho Viejo Montessori.”
