It is not easy to recognize that in Costa Rica we can have the best in the world, however, from my biased and totally subjective opinion, in Escazu is the best kindergarten in the world, a Lovemark from a to z, in every sense in the highest levels of respect and love.

Founded 19 years ago by my wife, Alexandra Franco, Home-Two is the kindergarten where I have seen the most devotion, dedication, mission and sense of purpose that one can imagine. And I say this because I had both of my children in this kindergarten, so I have no doubt that children and parents could say the same when sharing the thousand experiences that make Home-Two a unique and particularly special place to any other in the world.
Her methodology as well as her principles and values are the pillars for an inspiring, committed and consistent work that Alexandra carries out, as the head of some 35 collaborators who in many areas make Home-Two possible, as well as Fernando, the only male in the whole group who makes Home-Two a spectacular, intimate, close, personal, daily reality.
From the usual celebrations for fathers and mothers, to the special trips to visit factories or parts of La Sabana, to the simple fact of a “sale of vegetables and fruits”, such as the “united nations” activity, to the occasions of costumes or moments of shared silence. It is a kindergarten where countless Montessori guides have been formed, and from which others have emerged with good success, among whom I highlight Gloriana Granados and Viviana Quesada. Home2 is a launching pad for children in the direction of leadership, creativity, legitimacy, freedom, transformation and fulfillment.
It is a family experience that is repeated over and over again, as a natural result of an experience that one wishes to repeat. In a spectacular setting, with its green areas and areas designed for children, this kindergarten awakens the desire to return to kindergarten, just to experience the privilege of being able to take your first steps in such a place. It is the theater of dreams of their parents, as well as the stage of presentation to life for their children, it is a nest of love and dedication, of mutual respect and admiration, of meaning and spirituality.
Here are pictures of one of the dozens of annual activities, where children and Montessori guides tattooed Osa on their skin.
Her commitment to society and to what surrounds her, allows her to participate in a thousand and one ways in the causes that allow her a space to support. In his approach to children, he does not lose his concentration even for a moment, and therefore, it is already part of his culture rooted in pure love for the children entrusted to him.
Today I wanted us all to be in tune, because there is no doubt that in Kinders, Alexandra has proven that it can be done, and that in spite of many obstacles, it is possible to have in Costa Rica something that can be firmly declared as the best in the world.
Alex: I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. You have achieved it and this is an accomplishment that should be recognized. The best kindergarten in the world is in Escazú, it is yours and your creation, cared for and protected by an extraordinary team of good, loyal and dedicated people. You have done it and there it is.
Today is your birthday and I am far away in Cannes. Passionate both of us in our worlds, this is how I wanted to celebrate your extraordinary achievement and to let my friends on the blog know about you, inspiring and exemplary as you are.
