[quote=Anonymous]we went last night! we have a son who it turns out will be just under 2.5 (the minimum age) so it looks like he won't be able to attend next semester but I was incredibly impressed with the intentionality of the program and listening to the actual primary class teachers talk about how things worked with the classrooms.  i have been reading more about montessori in particular and i am definitely sold on it as a program for young children.  there was a professor there from CUA who talked about the continuity between montessori and  the classical education program they have going on there at st. jerome's for the older kids, which i hadn't even thought about because, well my son is not even 2! I really liked being able to tour the classrooms and see the materials the kids work with. I have friends that go there and have heard nothing but rave reviews.  this doesn't apply to us since our son is ineligible, but they are closing the first round of applications the first week in march, so that's just around the corner.  they also have the opportunity to go and observe the classrooms if you have any more questions about how montessori practically works.  it seems there will also be hopefully more enrichment programs this upcoming year to help parents bring montessori home, which is something i am particularly interested in! it really seems like the common sense approach to beginning learning.

if you had any other specific questions, i would be happy to answer![/quote]
