[quote=Anonymous]I just got back from our interview w/Ms. Antonucci at Aidan and had a positive experience.  She did ask how was the birth, any complications, etc but after I said it was natural and no complications, we just moved on from there.  All in all our interview was just fine.  She was not the evil tyrant per some PPs, nor a lovey angel you might get at other schools.

She was professional, courteous and great with our son.  When he wanted to climb a piece of playground equip that was too big for him, he gave a little attitude and she just rolled w/it, suggested we get out some balls, then praised him and us for how he handled conflict and that he was able to move on from it.

For those considering Aidan or any school, I would just say - go to the open house and the interview and see how you feel.  Dont let DCUM posters dissuade you from any school before you see it for yourself.  We all come from different perspectives and different expections so just digest the DCUM info and observe your own!  For example, I wouldnt care less about being asked about breastfeeding or how long, but that's just me!

Best of luck to everyone, and thanks for all the advice and insight on this and other Montessoris.  (btw, I'm the one who was told by the Franklin director that 1yr olds only belong at home or w/nanny only.)  Interestingly today Aidan kinda seemed to think that my son may be less prepared for a big school as their b/c he hasnt been in daycare yet. So you're dammed if you do, dammed if you dont!
