[quote=Anonymous]Sure!  All 3 kids started in the 2s program and went on to do 2/3 years of the primary program.  The little one has a fall birthday and we're torn between sending him to PK at the school his older sibs are at or keeping him for the 3rd year.

What I loved about the school:
- great diversity, families from all over with really interesting backgrounds
- location: walkable from our house and on my husband's way to the metro so super easy to do drop off.  The availability for extended day on both ends was a huge bonus to us as a 2 working parent family.  
- I love that the kids stay in the same class for primary, my kids really were able to form meaningful friendships with peers and close relationships with teachers
- the lead teacher my kids had is amazing (all had/will have the same one, but none overlapped due to ages)
- nice parent community
- the Art program is amazing - it unlocked a love of art in each of my kids that we never knew was there!
- Nature program - 2 of 3 kids adored this.  1 wasn't so into it, but I liked that they got him out anyways.

Didn't love
- a bit too academic for my taste for essentially nursery school - I didn't care whether my kids could read at 4, but it is part of the program.  We knew what we were getting into with Montessori, but it is a lot for some kids' personalities
- the front office staff can feel cold - Randy definitely gave us the cold shoulder when we pulled our kids out after the 2nd year of primary - but they were always wonderful to our kids and I felt like that was most important
 - It is expensive, but probably no more than any other full day program.
