[quote=Anonymous] Montessori schools are more expensive because teachers and their assistants need a Montessori certification, and therefore their salaries are higher. Warning: the name "Montessori" isn't protected, therefore check that the preschool is accredited by either of the two Montessori organizations before enrolling. Most preschool workers are very low-paid, which is sad. The federal government should subsidize preschools just like some other first world countries do, to make childcare affordable to working and middle class families and reduce the gender equity gap. The secret to a good preschool, though, is in the management and staff. You've got to visit them all and talk to the people working there. They need to be intelligent and caring. Obviously, there might be more intelligent and caring people in preschools that pay better! But you can also find gems of teachers in more humble places. The key is talking to the people! [/quote]
