Hi everyone-

My experience was very similar to Kriston's post- at least the first part. It didn't work for our girl and she was there for 2 years. I think it was okay until she reached 3.5 and then needed more guidance, support and challenge. Although they have a beautiful model of listening to the child, we missed a lot of what I would call "readiness windows" and without this support our DD starting giving up quickly not to mention all the behavioral issues that emerged then. After all the ignoring stuff, even after testing etc, we did decide to move her. It was really depressing for me because I had been committed to Montessori education since she was 18 months and was deeply invested in the philosophies behind it, but I realized my DD needed to learn in a different way.
