I agree. Montessori schools in my experience are all over the map, with some schools and teachers adhering more strictly to Maria Montessori's methods, and others apparently just using the name Montessori as a selling tool. I think that encouraging an active, seeking mind and interest-led development in little ones is good. I just didn't want to hobble DS6's math development, or have to afterschool him on math, while paying a bunch of money to send him to a Montessori; we'd homeschool him first.
