[quote=Anonymous]OP, I also didn't feel that Montessori was a good fit for any of my kids.  I most recently considered it for my youngest - first at preschool level and again when she finished pre-k but was told enough for kindergarten.  I can't exactly put my finger on it other than I think my kids need to be pushed in a way that Montessori doesn't push.  Mine just wouldn't have thrived and learned if they could spend all day painting or making necklaces, though I can see for some kids the idea would be successful  So, I didn't choose it and all of my kids are very successful in school.

I never heard from any of the Montessori schools that I visited that they take kids outside four times in a six hour school day.  Honestly that wouldn't be a selling point for me.  When you add lunch, nap and all the time it takes to get ready to go out and clean up after coming in, it seems excessive.  Regardless, all of the preschools my kids went to had twice a day outside periods and a third during aftercare.  I was good with that.  It's not until you hit public school that the outside time drops.[/quote]
