Well I just visited a local Montessori school for the first time...

I really loved it. All the teachers were so warm and totally on the same page as me about parenting stuff. Just as I walked in the classroom they were doing yoga. Ive visited other preschools (not montessori) and they all left me with an icky feeling. This school left me with such a warm feeling. DS won't be 3 till february but I have to reserve his spot now. Im so excited!

i love the M school my kiddos go to. I hope that you find what ou need there. I suggest getting the book the Montessori Controversy before starting. I am just now reading it and boy i wish i had prior to my kiddos starting M school. Anyway It is a good overall read of what to expect at the M school.

My children have done so well there. My son is exceling like there is no tomorrow. By the time he was 4 he knew all about places in the world, could tell you all the continents, could talk about animals and tell you more facts about them then i learned in my entire 32 years on this planet.

My daughter not only is learning at M school but picking up things from her brother. She told me the other day that we should move to Africa because it does not rain there. I corrected her and told her it did but she is 2 and how many 2 year olds know about africa?

The way Montessori teaches your children it will blow your mind. I still have a hard time grasping how much my child is taking in and how they manage to teach all these childrne so much.

I hope you enjoy your childs M school experiance as much as I do.

I brought dh to see the school today and he loved it too. Im so excited!

It's also very reasonably priced and scheduled. Basically its $5 an hour and you can have them on any kind of schedule you want. When we visited today the kids were all painting. So cute.
