[quote=Anonymous]I know similar questions have been asked before, but which would make more sense for DD? She has been at a Montessori school for the past 2 years, and will be old enough for kindergarten next year. The Montessori school promised a certain level of reading and arithmetic skills by graduation, and DH wants DD to stick with the program to hopefully reach that level. In addition, DD is very strong-willed and doesn't like change or being told what to do.

However, I would like DD to try the public kindergarten because: it's free, we can walk to and from school, there's a cafeteria selling lunch, she can meet more kids in the neighborhood, it starts 30 minutes later than the Montessori school (DD is not a morning person at all), and it offers a more structured curriculum. DD loves arts and crafts and would do it all day if she were left to her own devices. I know the Montessori teachers sometimes encourage her to do non-art projects too, but I don't know how often this happens. I also want DD to be introduced to structure because she's definitely going to public school starting 1st grade.[/quote]
