Don't let your friends worry you. I think you're right! smile

My words exactly. I am one of the people who had great experience with play-based half-day PreK with DS6 and not so good experience with DS4 in Montessori last year. DS4 will go to play-based PreK in a few weeks. All I want is for him to have fun and be around other children. He can get the rest at home.
