[quote=Anonymous]Not an expert at all but my understanding is that a Montessori program is very individualized and self directed. Each kid works on their own activity or "work". Montessori programs can be rigid in the sense that each "work" has a correct way of doing it so they are prompted to use it correctly rather than however they want. My child is in a "play-based" program that has circle time and "centers" where they have groups of children doing an activity together for 10-15 minutes and then they rotate them. In play based programs, children generally have more time to interact with one another than they do in Montessori programs. But every program is different, many Montessori programs diverge from the standard Montessori approach. [/quote]
