[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maria Montessori's preschool program was developed for 3 to 6 year olds. Make sure that you're sending him to a certified Montessori, the name is not protected.

There are certifications for infants, toddlers, primary, and elementary from both AMI and AMS.  While it's always a good idea to check certification, just because they have a toddler program doesn't mean they aren't certified or that the toddler room isn't "true" Montessori.

OP, we were in a similar situation with DS and we chose to wait and send him to Primary.  With DD, just because of her age, she did a whole year in the toddler room.  I SO wish we had done toddler for DS!  Obviously it depends on the school and the teacher, but the toddler room at our school is amazing!  DD got so much out of it, and was so loved and cared for.  Even a few months of that environment would be awesome.  Plus, the toddler community is much much smaller than the primary room and obviously has much higher teacher/student ratios, so it's a nice gradual transition to school in general and Montessori in particular.[/quote]
