[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We, too, interviewed with Ms. Antonucci a few years back and had a negative experience.  She was rude, cold, and, among other things, scolded my son (who had just turned two) when he clapped for himself after successfully completing one of her “tests.”  She told me that my son was “perfect” for Montessori, but warned that our chances of getting into Aidan were slim to none given the number of applications received each year.  She also expressed particular concern that my husband didn’t attend the interview since Aidan wants to be sure that the entire family is “on board with the Montessori philosophy.”  Suffice it to say, I was not on board, and our son does not attend Aidan or any other Montessori.  He’s at a wonderful preschool that we love and where the teachers are actually warm and friendly!

Contrary to what some have suggested here, my reaction to Ms. Antonucci has nothing to do with “sour grapes” because my child was not accepted, and I suspect the same is true of other posters who’ve shared their negative experiences with this teacher.  I’m sure many of our children have been rejected by other preschools (e.g., NCRC), and I don’t believe there are similar posts about a rude/cold teacher at NCRC.  If I were a current parent or administrator at Aidan, instead of immediately jumping to Ms. Antonucci’s defense and assuming all the parents on this forum are bitter and ridiculous, I would be very concerned by the numerous posts about this teacher and would consider doing something about it.

C'mon folks.  It's just not cricket to anonymously and publicly attack by name  an individual who is not a public figure. I hope that the moderator deletes this and similar posts.[/quote]
