Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments do you know anything about montessori preschool?

In a way, that's what visiting is for. To give you data about more children and how different teachers relate to them. nothing like a little perspective

When I decided to switch my ds I visited almost a dozen child care sitation including Montessorri, home day care and playbased. I sat in the classroom of 5 different Montssori schools bewtween 5 and 25 minutes drive of our house. Of the schools that I liked (4) I brought my ds back to see if it was a good fit.

I learned a lot from all those visits. Especially about how the Montessori philosophy is not always implemented the same way.

Once you are in the classroom and can observe a range of kids and teachers you'll be able to determine the best fit for your daughter.
