Our child started Monica Ros for Kindergarten and it is one of the best decisions we could have ever made from an educational perspective. Every time I pick her up from school she is begging to stay just a little while longer. She adores her school, the activities, the friends and especially her teachers Ms. Krout and Ms. Fiore. The principle is incredibly thoughtful and fully engaged every step of the way. Their focus on the PK-3 curriculum has been a formula for success in terms of establishing a strong foundation for learning that teachers from high schools like Oak Grove and Ojai Valley have told me makes a clear difference. If I were forced to make one critique it would be the lack of ethnic/cultural diversity but I wouldn't count it as a negative, but sometimes I wonder how it might be affecting the one African-American child that does attend. My guess, having met her, is she's doing just fine.

Not only is Monica Ros School the best place for your children, it's the best place to work. A nurturing environtment for parents and teachers as well as students. Of course I'm biased, I started working here when my oldest was beginning kidnergarten in 1988. Now that she is 28 years old, and looking to start a family herself, I can't wait for the opportunity of seeing my grandchild jumping rope or riding the same bikes my daughter rode. We are much more then bikes & rope jumping, Monica Ros focuses on the whole child, the whole family for that matter. Drop by anytime and see for yourself!

This is the best school *ever*, and my son went to several before we found MonicaRos. They are not just a school, but more like a family. The environment is like never-never land where the children are encouraged to grow and learn with wonder and joy. There is nothing 'daycare'ish about MonicaRos. Your child will beg to be allowed to stay and play more each day. If you can, send your child there. You won't be sorry.

We test kids at the end of the year and beginning. Kids that don't keep up during the summer take a giant step backwards. If our kids do complain about homework, we ask them,"Do you want to work for a company, or own the company?"

No. Let the children have a break. Let their minds focus on being children. They'll have plenty of homework when they go back to school. I would not even consider enforceing summer homework for my children. They need stress free playtime.

Yes. Of course summer is for fun however they can take a brake from homework 2 weeks or so, not the whole summer. If you teach a child the importance of learing they will enjoy the homework even in the summer.
