Dh and I have discussed it, and we decided we feel more secure with the Montessori school right now. We feel really good about it, so we're going with tried-and-true rather than a fledgling program at this point. One of the things we like about starting the Montessori program in January is that we're only committed for 5 months rather than a full year. Hopefully in that period of time we'll be able to determine if it's a good fit for ds. We'll definitely keep the other school in mind, and maybe by then they'll have a more established program in place. Dh didn't think it sounded like a great option at all because of the newness, the fact that the director took a week to respond to me, and the uncertainty of whether this whole thing is going to even come together. I think we really need to see some results before jumping into a major unknown. I guess it's never a bad thing to have two relatively good options from which to choose, huh? Thanks for the advice and for sharing your thoughts!
