Founder and current director of LAVALETTE MONTESSORI INSTITUTE Rocio Rabago shares about the great adventure that it has been to found an authentic bilingual Montessori school in the Rio Grande Valley

Fundadora y actual Directora del INSTITUTO MONTESSORI LAVALETTE Rocío Rábago nos habla de la gran Aventura que ha sido comenzar un colegio auténtico Montessori bilingüe en el Valle de Texas.

About Rocio Rabago

I am mother to Amalia and Marcelo Emiliano. I earned my law degree from Tec de Monterrey, but found my true passion and calling as a Montessori guide and school administrator. Education was part of my life from a very young age, my mother was the Director of the American School of Saltillo for more than 20 years. From a young age, I was exposed to teaching methodologies, curricula, and more.

My mother would let me observe the kindergarten classrooms and I found it fascinating.

¿Quién es Rocío Rábago?

Soy Mamá de Amalia y Marcelo Emiliano, abogada del Tec de Monterrey por profesión y guía Montessori por vocación y pasión. Crecí en el ámbito educativo, mi Mamá fue Directora del Colegio Americano de Saltillo por mas de 20 años así que desde pequeña escuchaba acerca de las metodologías de enseñanza, planes de estudio, etc. Cuando fui creciendo mi Mamá me invitaba a observar los salones de los niños de Kinder y me parecía un mundo fascinante.

The Montessori Method

I first encountered the Montessori Method through my daughter Amalia’s education and I marveled: All children should learn this way!

Thereafter, I earned my certification as a Montessori Guide for 3-6 year old children and I fell deeper in love. The Montessori philosophy changed my life, and has made me more sensitive, empathetic, organized and structured.

I have always had a deep desire to learn, and the more I learn the more I realize how much I do not know! The Montessori Method is a comprehensive learning system that shapes the whole child, according to their abilities and talents—all while having fun and pursuing what interests them.

El Sistema Montessori

Conocí el Sistema Montessori a través mi hija Amalia y me maravillé: ¡Todos los niños deberían de aprender de esta forma! Así que hice mi certificación como Guía Montessori para niños de 3 a 6 años y me enamoré aún mas.

La filosofía Montessori cambió el rumbo de mi vida, me ha hecho ser una persona mas sensible, mas empática, ordenada y estructurada.

Siempre he tenido un gusto muy distintivo por el aprendizaje y entre mas aprendo mas me percato de todo lo que no sabía. El sistema Montessori es un sistema de aprendizaje muy completo en donde los niños se forman de manera integral, según sus capacidades y sus talentos, pero lo más importante es que lo hacen de manera divertida y diferente.

JANUARY 26, 2018

Lavalette Montessori: Montessori Management and Leadership Certification As a growing and dynamic border community that is home to many families, the Rio Grande Valley deserves exceptional educational options. So when I started Lavalette, I wanted to create an authentic and competitive Montessori center that could offer students the educational foundation they needed for success.

As I pursued this dream, my mentor and colleague Eva Guajardo from the Sierra Madre Montessori Training Center encouraged me to study Montessori Administration and Leadership at the Center for Montessori

Lavalette Montessori Certificación de Administración y Liderazgo Montessori

Crecí aprendiendo que todo es susceptible a mejorarse. Vivimos en un área de constante crecimiento y era momento que el Valle de Texas contara con educación excepcional y de alta calidad. Quería un colegio Montessori auténtico y competitivo que ofreciera a los niños educación de calidad para sobresalir.

En mi camino por buscar la excelencia conozco a Eva Guajardo del Centro de Entrenamiento Montessori Sierra Madre, me animó a irme a Nueva York a estudiar Administración y Liderazgo Montessori, que es una certificación solo para Directores de colegios Montessori.

Teacher Education in New York. Over the next six years, I had a wonderful time traveling each summer to New York, and deepening my knowledge of Montessori practices and administration. Trainers from New York and California also observed our work and provided direction and feedback. I met some of the most influential and important people in the worldwide Montessori community: Marie Dugan, who is the representative of Montessori education to the UN and a colleague of Dr. Nancy Rambusch (founder of the American Montessori Society).

I also met Dr. Joyce S. Pickering, Dane Peters, Mary Ellen Kordas, Richard A. Ungerer, Munir Shivji, Claudia Maan, Gina Sardi and many, many more. These people have dedicated their lives to making a difference in education.

Y comenzó mi aventura por conocer mas y sobre todo implementarlo en Lavalette. Fueron 6 años de aprendizaje, viajaba los veranos a la Universidad de Queens y posteriormente a la Universidad de New Rochelle en el Estado de Nueva York a estudiar. Conocí a las personas mas influyentes e importantes del Sistema Montessori en el mundo.

Como Marie Dugan, representante de Montessori en la ONU y amiga y alumna de la Dra. Nancy Rambusch (fundadora el American Montessori Society), la Dra. Joyce S. Pickering, Dane Peters, Mary Ellen Kordas, Richard A. Ungerer, Munir Shivji, Claudia Maan, Gina Sardi y muchas otras personas que han dedicado sus vidas a hacer la diferencia en educación. Vinieron capacitadores de Nueva York y California a hacer observaciones a Lavalette Montessori y aconsejarnos para lograr los objetivos que teníamos establecidos.

Dreamy and idealistic

My goal has always been to make a difference in children’s lives. Every child who comes to Lavalette should be happy, and feel respected, listened to and loved. The children should know that an immense world that awaits them, and that there are no limits to what they can learn. They should know that learning is part of what it means to be human and that their happiness is of the most importance.

I am proud that Lavalette is a leader in Montessori education in the Rio Grande Valley, and that other schools look to us for inspiration. The work of the entire Lavalette team has inspired other educational centers, which means that the Valley has the opportunity to be a model for schools that offer children alternative learning experiences, like the Montessori method does.

My greatest source of pride is to see the achievements, large and small, of our children at Lavalette every day. My greatest wish is that we make a difference in their childhoods, and that when they are adults they remember their time with us with nothing but happiness and love.

Soñadora e idealista

Mi objetivo siempre ha sido hacer la diferencia en la vida de los niños. Que los niños que vienen a Lavalette Montessori sean felices, que se sientan respetados, escuchados y amados. Que los niños perciban que hay un mundo inmenso que los espera, que no hay límites en todo lo que pueden aprender, que el aprendizaje es parte intrínseca del ser humano y que ellos vinieron a este mundo a ser felices.

Es para mi una satisfacción muy grande saber que ahora somos líderes en educación Montessori en el Valle de Texas, que el trabajo de todo el equipo Lavalette ha inspirado a otros centros educativos, ya que esto significa que el Valle de Texas está avanzando en educación vanguardista y que muchos niños serán beneficiados de sistemas de educación que ofrecen que los niños aprendan de manera diferente como lo hace el sistema Montessori.

Mi mayor orgullo es ver los pequeños y grandes logros de los niños de Lavalette Montessori a diario.

Mi sueño es hacer esa diferencia en sus vidas, que cuando sean adultos recuerden su infancia y su experiencia en Lavalette Montessori con la mayor plenitud, felicidad y amor posible.
