[quote=Anonymous]DC has been to several schools since Montessori (we've moved several times) and continues to thrive -- this is at a "Big 3" feeder in DC, a private school out of state (comparable to GDS), and now a public school out of state. I wouldn't trade her Montessori years (3 -- age 2-5) for anything. Our only concern was that at a certain point she said she was "tired of brain work" and so we worked to "follow the child" (focused more on play based for a year), and the school was spectacular with that decision, too. Every child's different, but at least in our case I'd say that the Montessori experience gave her an advantage as a reflective, empathetic, inquisitive learner who also learned leadership skills and independence.
