[quote=Anonymous] To PP 1:48, the class size and age range seem large for a Montessori school. My DCs went to a Montessori school but the school had a toddler classroom (2-3 year old) with 20 kids. The Early Childhood classrooms were filled age 3-6 with 24 (3 grades). We looked at a lot of schools. At most, a classroom had three grades. Montessori advocates the ideal classroom as 24 kids: 4 boys and 4 girls in each grade with two teachers. To answer your question about bullying, contrary to what is written about Montessori, the grades really just gravitate toward each other and largely ignore each other. So, there is really no more bullying than in a single grade classroom. I’d look for different Montessori school that separates the 2yo’s from the Ks and that has a smaller classroom.[/quote]
