About Us

Ramona Klymko

Ramona’s first contact with the Montessori Method goes back to the year 2000, when she was offered to teach languages in a Montessori School, here in the United States. By that time she had acquired her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Languages (German and English) and had been teaching languages in Europe since 1987. Being in her first Montessori School, she suddenly discovered a new way of knowing, loving and teaching a child. She began to understand the importance of working more fully with the child’s urge to learn and the importance of preparing the child, at this very young age, not for school but for life.
Ramona successfully mastered the Montessori Diploma in February, 2002 and completed the approved Course of Study and Practical Training of the International Association of Progressive Montessori. Her inner discipline and excellent organizational skills made room for more. Ramona went back to College and successfully completed the Infant and Toddler Program at UCI Montessori. She also completed the Program for the Administration of Schools for Young Children – Personnel, at Irvine Valley College.
Ramona’s strong belief in the Montessori Philosophy and Education together with her already acquired pedagogical experience and excellent educational background, made it possible to start her own Montessori Program alongside her husband, under the name of “Robin Hood Montessori School”, thus combining the passion for the Montessori Method and Archery. Ramona has recently been selected by the International Association of Progressive Montessori to train and become a Montessori Instructor for IAPM. Ramona is looking forward to becoming an instructor and continuing the legacy of IAPM.

Diana Medina

Since I can remember I have always loved and cared for children. Back in high school, during the summer I would volunteer in the summer program and tutor children with Math and English. I attended Orange Coast College and California State University of Fullerton to study Psychology. For the last five years I have provided heartfelt care and assistance to the elderly residents. Having the opportunity to work with children has been my dream and it makes me happy to be part of the Robin Hood Montessori School. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and daughter at Disneyland. As well as exploring museums and national parks.
