Wow, I really enjoyed reading that.
I'm guilty of not really asking the questions I should have asked when I enrolled DD. I wasn't all about the name, but I figured from light reading that it was a good choice because of the name I REALLY lucked out that her school follows the guidelines and doesn't just use the name.
It wasn't till later that I discovered anyone could use the Montessori name. I'm extremely pleased that my decision to enroll her blindly didn't bite me in the rear.
I started reading up on it about a month after DD started, and the more I read, the more enthralled I am.
