[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for the post. Is the info Drew specific? We haven't gotten any information yet about when the first day is or whether it will be staggered.[/quote]

That is how they used to do it--its been a couple of years. I think my son started on September 18 or 20. Its good because things have settled down some. [/quote]

That would be good. Just worried mine will be a little overwhelmed. Did your son have a good experience in the program overall?[/quote]

To be honest, no. He's very creative and some of his teachers have been pretty strict followers of the Montessori model and discourage imaginative play, so in the primary years he was always "in trouble" for not using the materials the way the teacher wanted (playing trains with the pink rods, for example). The specials were also tough the first couple of years--the Montessori classes go to art, music, and gym like all the other classes, and I think the specials teachers may be better equipped to deal with elementary age kids than wiggly 3 and 4 year old boys. I wish we had pulled him out after the first couple of months and sent him back to his regular preschool.[/quote]
