Yellow Room at Monica Ros School

Monica Ros School is a progressive, independent private school focused on early-childhood’s opportunities. We support joyful learning, exploring, and growing. Our mission is to expand a young child’s natural passion for learning in a setting that celebrates Ojai’s natural beauty. The Yellow Room (our 2-year-old classroom) is connected to our Kindergarten classroom, near the school’s garden and large upper preschool playground. There is covered outdoor seating, and classroom areas devoted to imaginative play, small group activities, and circle time. There are 8 students on any given day of the week with our two beloved teachers–what an amazing ratio to allow for safe and secure exploration of our magical little school! Yellow Room students participate in many Monica Ros School traditions such as Theme Week, Arts Month, the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, and as an excited and supportive audience for all of the schoolmate’s numerous performances throughout the year! 

The Best Part 

Mrs. Garcia: Coming soon! 

Ms. Raines: Every day brings something new. The curiosity that develops from these bright, precious minds always keeps me on my toes. It is never a dull moment in the classroom! The willingness these children have to participate in the educational process with us is amazing. They want to learn as badly as we want to teach them! I am eager to educate and nurture our incoming students.
