 Ms. Rupa has gone above and beyond the call of duty to design an individualized educational program for Rayna, which is very different from any other school. Yellow Acorn offers unique study materials, hands-on experiences, and exercises, which have been instrumental in Rayna ‘s development.

 As a Montessori school, children of slightly different ages engage in play with each other while learning at their own pace. Through the various activities they naturally begin understanding the world and effortlessly absorb skills in math, natural sciences, geography, music, art, languages, cultures, etc.

From an academic perspective, we have seen our daughter excel in the world of decoding and early phonics at age 2. At age 3 my daughter was reading The Bob books and as parents - believe us, we had nothing to do with this progress, it was all Yellow Acorn’s phonics focus.
