[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:45 again -- PP, if you are still here/will return, I have a specific questions for you -- how did you find the communication with the teachers, such as letting you drop in or at least speak to you about your children? I'm asking because it seems to come up now and then related to Montessori schools in particular, that parents are not encouraged to visit or interact much during the school days. Thanks again, if you return[/quote]

PP again. The communication/parent involvement was different between the 2s and primary rooms.  In the 2s room, parents were not allowed to come into the classroom at all during the first 3 or so months of school because it is apparently disruptive.  I found that an easy bright line rule to follow.  We did get a weekly or so email from the teacher and a ton of pictures of what went on in the classroom.

In the primary rooms there also was a weekly or so newsletter and lots of pictures and parents were allowed in the classroom starting late October.  Lots of opportunities to volunteer and head teacher was very responsive with emails.  [/quote]

Thank you for coming back, PP. I'm nervous about sending my child to any place where there is a rule (or strong suggestion) to not visit, though I can understand the rationale. It's great to hear that that period was limited to the beginning, and getting any updates (including photos, that'd be great) of what went on would be nice. Thanks again![/quote]
