[quote=Anonymous]Personally I think a fancy curriculum is less important than how it is implemented. Our DD just turned 3 and is at a daycare center that uses the Creative Curriculum which is pretty standard at a lot of the daycares around here. We thought about switching her to a more of a preschool style school with more experienced teachers, looked at a lot of Montessori schools, but ended up sticking with where we are. Part of it was that her early intervention therapist told us that she really liked the environment there because the teachers are very loving with the kids and they plan fun activities. Even though sometimes they do things the therapist doesn't love (like letter tracing), that is just a small part of the day. I think at this age a fun and loving environment is the most important thing. Our DD has special needs so academics is not at the top of our list though. YMMV - I have friends that swear that their kids are advanced in math because they did Montessori.[/quote]
