We had our daughter enrolled in their 4 year old preschool program last year and were blown away with the progress she made. All of the teachers were kind but firm in their expectations and the materials were top notch. My daughter loved going to school and would surprise me with how many different things she was learning. Mrs. Griffin lets the children explore different subjects and helps them dig as deep as they want to go. I loved how much outside time the children were able to enjoy and the way they could handle physical materials and explore to their little hearts content. Before our year at LEAP, my daughter would often lash out and had a very difficult time focusing and listening and I was worried how she would act in a school setting, but after a few months she completely changed. She still is our little spitfire, but she is able to focus and take direction so much better now. When we went to visit family, everyone remarked how much she had changed and seemed to have grown that year. We have been very happy with the progress we saw in our daughter and are sad we did not continue with their elementary program but hope to enroll our younger children when they are old enough!

I have been involved with the school and known Mrs. OH (Betty) and Mrs. Griffin (Sheila) for over a year now and have been nothing but impressed! These two ladies, as well as Ms. Eden and the rest of the staff, CLEARLY put their entire hearts and souls into this little school and I consider it a treasure for Rio Rancho! The environments are peaceful and handmade. There are animals everywhere and the children seem to happy, engaged, and respectful to each other, their teachers, and everything. Every interaction that I've seen or heard about between adults and and the children has been beautiful and one that I hope other places would adopt. The children are shown and then "invited" to try new things all the time and there is clearly a culture of kindness and compassion. This is truly an authentic Montessori school that is full with materials (though not overwhelming) and just a peaceful place to be. I especially the sweet dogs! I love that everyone is committed to doing things right- even when it requires more effort. I can't believe the children even sew and thankfully- they teach cursive!!! I absolutely recommend this school and the teachers and I love working with Mrs. OH and Mrs. Griffin. I have every intention upon staying involved with them for years to come!
