@mrs.jacks: Ah. Thanks for that info. When I asked the preschool director, she said they have montessori hour and everything else is more academic in nature. So maybe I misunderstood her!

i think the montessori method has many, many merits and is wonderful for many children, especially young children. i will say, though, that i have observed that primary grade children (grades k-2) who move to public school from montessori often have difficulty transitioning because of the more stringent schedules, etc. in a traditional school setting. of course, they eventually learn to adjust, but it's interesting to note. i would love to send lil' CB to a montessori preschool, but alas, the cost is not so fun.

Are there not many Montessori public schools? I truthfully don't know enough about the method to have an opinion either way, but I know there are several public Montessori schools nearby, and my best friend has taught at a public Montessori school in another state. I guess I just assumed that there were both public and private Montessori schools, but maybe that's not common?
