So thankfully I was able to switch my dd (4 in March) from her loving and perfectly fine (for the majority of kids) church pre-k to the Montessori where my older 2 are and where I also am teaching Spanish part-time. (The cost was prohibitive for the first part of the year, I was able to work out a solution finally). While she *seemed* content at the other school, it is clear that Montessori and a multi-age classroom (at least for now where she is youngest) will be a good fit for her. I think her teacher is not a die-hard Montessorian and will be flexible about allowing her to progress. It has also been good to have additional feedback that she is indeed not typical in her development. Hoping the rest of the year goes as well as her first week!
