I am looking for a pre-school in Richmond for my grandson. He will be two on November 28. It would be such a big help if the school provided at least a partial scholarship. If anyone has information, please let me know. Thanks. Deborah

My 3 1/2 year-old attends a wonderful Montessori preschool in Richmond. It's called A Little World Montessori, and is located in the Richmond Hills, just a bit north of Barrett. The school is small, with just 12 students. Samudra DeAlwis, the teacher, has 20+ years of Montessori training, and is aided by her Montessori-trained husband. The school, her home, has all the usual Montessori materials inside, and a nice outside area with playthings and a host of small animals. They take children from ages 18 mos. to 5 or so, I believe. Samudra is very loving, and my daughter really adores her (as do the rest of the children). We've been attending for 1 year now, and my daughter has developed excellent manners, good ''writing''/drawing skills, and has really thrived. The children of 3 friends also attend, and they rave about the school, too. It is priced like other Montessori schools in the area, and I don't know about scholarships. You can contact Samudra DeAlwis at (510) 234-0666. The address is 615 Yuba St., Richmond, CA 94805. Christine
