[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi! We're considering transitioning our kid to a Montessori program for the 2020-2021 academic year. She's four now, will turn five in November, which I believe means she's missed the first year of the three-year Montessori cycle. My understanding is that the typical Montessori practice is that the youngest kids are the learners and the older kids help the youngest kids, and I'm trying to figure out of my daughter missing the first/youngest year is going to be an issue or not.

Has anyone had an experience transitioning their kid to Montessori mid-cycle?

If it helps, she's at a center now that we're growing increasingly frustrated with, but it's not a Montessori. [/quote]

It’s worth it to give it a shot. Many schools will take students mid-cycle with no issue. It really depends on how much space they have available as some schools have been known to even take new “third years” if they need the numbers. I would not worry to much as the school will pretty much tell you what to expect
In the initial interview/tour. Don’t worry about needing to know cursive or being familiar with the materials, that is not prerequisite to entry and they will learn  and be introduced to everything at their own pace. I would definitely try it out and see if it’s good fit for your family. Also, make sure the school
Is affiliated with one of the two major organizations - AMI or AMS [/quote]
