I have visited a few, they are not the same throughout. </p> <p>I would suggest you research the one you think you might enroll your child in and see if you think it will be a good fit for your lo.</p> <p>If you want more info, here are some links you can read about on Montessori.</p> <p><a href="http://www.montessori.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.montessori.org/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.montessori.edu/" rel="nofollow">http://www.montessori.edu/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-montessori-preschools#post-592214 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 14:36:27 +0000 loveisstrange 592214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: We've researched a few back home and they all started at 2.

We will be moving home to St Louis about the same time she turns 2. </p> <p>Ideally, we'd love to send her to a private preschool. DH was private schooled through 8th grade at a Montessori preschool and then Catholic school and he is feels very strongly about it. I, on the other hand, agree with it because I am not thrilled with the school district our house is in (hey, it was a free house... we'll deal).</p> <p>I know bits and pieces about it, but I'd love to hear from some parents here. I know there are several who follow this kind of education. What are some good resources to learn about it? What do you like about it? Dislike? </p>
