[quote=Anonymous]Actually, this spread of ages is pretty typical at my montessori school, even though it is obviously not ideal for the 5 YOs, the school can only do so much to retain K-age students (particularly with DCPS schools gaining in popularity). My kid's montessori class is roughly 10 3YOs, 11 4YOs, and 4 5 YOs. Last year, there were only 3 5 YOs. Also, 4 YOs probably aren't napping. At our school the 4s and 5s are in the smaller class in the afternoon. Personally, I would not want my 5 YO to be one of 3 kids in this environment. Although they are clearly treated as "leaders" in the class, I think 3 years in the same classroom/same teacher is just too much. I would be seriously worried about the transition to 1st grade from that environment.[/quote]
