In 2011, her oldest daughter began attending the Culver City school 1074 at two years old — and her younger daughter followed, attending the same classrooms 1075 a few years later. Both of Ruhi’s daughters grew up at Montessori Academy Culver City. 1076 Like so many families before her, she quickly fell in love with the warmth, respect, and 1077 beauty of the Montessori environment — first through her daughters’ eyes, then as a 1078 daily presence in the school herself. 1079 </p> 1080 <p> 1081 “Watching my own daughters thrive here — seeing the independence, the curiosity, the 1082 love of learning they developed — that’s what convinced me this method works,” 1083 she says. “I didn’t just read about Montessori. I lived it as a parent. 1084 I saw it change my children. That’s why I believe in it so deeply.â 1085 </p> 1086 <p> 1087 When the school's owner prepared to retire in 2014, she invited Ruhi to become Director 1088 because of her Montessori background and experience. “It was an incredible honor 1089 to step into a school that had already become such an important part of my own family's 1090 life,” she says. Since then, she has been dedicated to preserving everything 1091 families love about Montessori Academy while continuing to grow it for future generations — 1092 from one campus to three, with Downey opening in 2023 as the first location to welcome 1093 infants and carry children all the way through 3rd grade. 1094 </p> 1095 <p> 1096 Some of the parents touring today attended these classrooms themselves as children. During tours, 1097 Ruhi often watches a parent pause at a familiar Montessori material from their own childhood — 1098 they smile, and the memories surface. “Those experiences stayed with them,” she says. 1099 “And that's exactly what they hope to give their own children.” 1100 </p> 1101 </div> 1102 1103 <!-- Pull quote â her voice on first-day nerves --> 1104 <div class="pull-quote fade-up"> 1105 <p>I know you’re trusting us with the most precious person in your life, and that trust is something we never take for granted.

Even as a young child, she loved 1116 helping the younger students. At seven years old, it felt incredibly meaningful to 1117 encourage a preschooler, help them learn something new, or simply make them smile. 1118 </p> 1119 <p> 1120 Those early experiences planted a seed that never left her. From a very young age, she 1121 knew she wanted to dedicate her life to Montessori education because she had seen firsthand
1122 the confidence, independence, and joy it brings to children. 1123 </p> 1124 <p> 1125 She pursued her AMI Montessori teacher training through the <strong>University of California, Irvine</strong>, 1126 working simultaneously as a teacher's assistant so she could put everything she was learning 1127 into practice every day. She later completed a <strong>Master's degree at the Stanford University 1128 School of Education</strong>, specializing in Learning Design and Technology — a combination 1129 that has helped her continually improve the school while always keeping children's needs at the 1130 center of every decision. 1131 </p> 1132 </div> 1133 1134 <div class="section-break"></div> 1135 1136 <!-- The child story â standout card --> 1137 <div class="story-block fade-up"> 1138 <div class="story-block-eyebrow"> 1139 <i data-lucide="heart"></i> 1140 A Story From the Classroom 1141 </div> 1142 <h3>The boy they said was “too disruptive”</h3> 1143 <p> 1144 One child will always stay with Ruhi. He joined the school at three years old after 1145 attending several other preschools, and his family had been told he was “too 1146 disruptive.” When she first met his mother, she was in tears. Like every parent, 1147 she simply wanted a place where her child would be understood. 1148 </p> 1149 <p>
1150 Instead of seeing a disruptive child, the teachers saw a bright, capable little boy who 1151 was struggling to communicate what he was feeling. They focused on helping him regulate 1152 his emotions, giving him tools to express himself, and allowing him to learn in a way 1153 that respected who he was. 1154 </p> 1155 <p> 1156 As the months went by, something incredible happened. His confidence grew. His 1157 communication blossomed. The curiosity and intelligence that had always been inside 1158 him finally had the opportunity to shine. 1159 </p> 1160 <div class="story-outcome"> 1161 “By the time he left our school, he wasn’t just ready academically — he believed 1162 in himself. He had found his voice. Every child deserves teachers who look beyond behavior 1163 and take the time to discover who they truly are. Every child has unique gifts, and when we 1164 take the time to understand them, they flourish.” 1165 </div> 1166 </div> 1167 1168 <!-- Philosophy --> 1169 <div class="philosophy-block fade-up"> 1170 <div class="section-label"><span>Her Approach</span></div> 1171 <h2 class="article-h2" style="font-size:clamp(22px,2.5vw,30px);margin-bottom:16px">What she believes about how children learn</h2> 1172 <p> 1173 The biggest misconception Ruhi encounters when families compare free public TK to Montessori 1174 is the assumption that all early childhood programs provide the same educational experience. 1175 They don't. 1176 </p> 1177 <p> 1178 “Public TK serves an important purpose, but Montessori is fundamentally different. Every 1179 child learns at their own pace, and our teachers carefully observe each student to create 1180 lessons that match where they are developmentally — not simply according to their age.” 1181 </p> 1182 <p style="margin-bottom:28px"> 1183 The years from birth to six are the most important years of brain development. During this time, 1184 children naturally absorb language, mathematics, social skills, independence, and problem-solving 1185 at an extraordinary rate. Montessori is intentionally designed to make the most of this unique 1186 window of learning — and Ruhi encourages families, whenever possible, to continue through 1187 age six, because those final years lay a foundation children carry with them for life. 1188 </p> 1189 <div class="insight-grid"> 1190 <div class="insight-card"> 1191 <div class="insight-card-icon navy"><i data-lucide="user-check"></i></div> 1192 <strong>Individually paced</strong> 1193 <span>Each child's lessons are designed around their own developmental stage, not their age or classroom average.</span> 1194 </div> 1195 <div class="insight-card"> 1196 <div class="insight-card-icon green"><i data-lucide="eye"></i></div> 1197 <strong>Observation-led</strong> 1198 <span>Teachers carefully observe before presenting.

When families are considering Montessori, I encourage them to look beyond
1220 the price and think about the experience their child will have every single day.” 1221 </p> 1222 <p> 1223 Your child is surrounded by highly trained Montessori teachers who truly know them as an 1224 individual. They carefully observe each child's growth, prepare thoughtful lessons, and 1225 create an environment where children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn. 1226 </p> 1227 <p> 1228 One thing Ruhi is most proud of is the consistency children experience. Many of the teachers 1229 have been with Montessori Academy for years because they genuinely love what they do and believe 1230 in the Montessori philosophy. That means children build deep, trusting relationships with the 1231 adults who care for them every day. “Our school feels like a family, and I believe 1232 children feel that sense of belonging from the moment they walk through our doors.” 1233 </p> 1234 <p> 1235 Parents often ask where graduates go next. The answer is simple: they thrive. Whether they 1236 continue into public or private schools, they leave Montessori Academy with a strong academic 1237 foundation, a love of learning, and the confidence to succeed. 1238 </p> 1239
