I agree that it depends on the teachers. DD3 has great teachers and, as shown, respond. When she started in the fall, she went right to the math area and got into it. Using the numbers board until she got to 100 and working with base 10 concepts and how it works through 1000. They have 1000 blocks of beads. So DD3 says we have the number 2008 (two thousand and eight) on the wall at school, she understands. All from her Montessori.
Though, I mentioned to her teachers that someone at school told her that she was too young to read and she stopped for a couple of weeks. Then the need to do it overtook her. I don't think it was a teacher, I think it was a 4 or 5 year old.
