[quote=Anonymous]I won’t say that it was perfect but I think Montessori was great for DD. She had this personality trait where she cannot stand being told what to do, and she also have a very active mind and just gets really into things. She is very intellectually curious. At Montessori she rarely had somebody telling her what to do unless she was already into doing it. When she was at a play-based preschool before that she was just stressed out about having to switch tasks when she didn’t want to, and she wasn’t into a lot of the tasks.

She has level 1 autism, fwiw.

DS did okay with play-based. Something I don’t like about play-based is that if it’s Piaget-style, it assumes that children aren’t capable of learning more intellectual, abstract things. I didn’t want my 3-year old to have to sit and memorize math facts or anything, so play -based was good as far as that goes, but I liked that DD got to learn more advanced things just because she wanted to.

However ultimately they are both doing great so I probably thought too hard about all this. [/quote]
