[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't get on a waitlist without a due date. My kid is at the St Jerome's Montessori preschool. We also applied to St Ann's and Heritage - both offered us spots a year after applying, so if you get on the list as soon as you find out you're pregnant, plus take a few months of maternity leave, you should get an infant spot when you're ready to go back to work.

Preschools are good in the area and there are several options. Infant care is more limited, but the houses are large, so you could get an au pair, or hire a nanny. [/quote]

How is it?  We visited the SJA Montessori classroom, and were kind of disappointed.  It seemed like a regular preschool classroom with Montessori materials, but no real integration of the philosophy.  For example, the kids were having snack at a preset time, prepared and served by the preschool staff.  Similarly, the staff were putting kids' coats and hats on rather than teaching them to do it themselves.  The self-sufficiency that I'm used to seeing in Montessori classrooms (including where my oldest spent three years) was missing.

I'll admit the program was new and it was relatively early in the year, but I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.  [/quote]
