[quote=Anonymous]DS was enrolled in a well-regarded AMI Montessori program when he was 3 and it was too strict and rigid. He was miserable everyday and I was convinced that it did not work for his personality (extroverted but also sensitive and stubborn). But after touring a half dozen traditional pre-k programs, I felt he would be bored since he does tend to act out when not challenged (for example, he was already counting into the hundreds after his first year of montessori and the pre-k classes I was touring were still focusing on 1-20). Fortunately, we found a smaller and "warmer" AMI Montessori program and he thrived!! It wasn't as fancy (or expensive!) but it was the right fit for him and we were so relieved. When touring schools, I would definitely consider the culture of the school more than the curriculum. Good Luck![/quote]
