[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. Montessori is sort of the opposite of play-based. Kids do "work" in a very structured way. They are basically required to use the tools they're given in a specific way. In fact, the strict structure of the whole thing really turned us off from it. We want DD to be in a play-based program for as long as possible. [/quote] This. We have good friends who sent their kids to Montessori and loved it. We toured one or two programs and felt they lacked the kind of joy that childhood is supposed to be about. We sent ours to a play-based preschool and have no regrets. Montessori is great for the right families and children, but it was not for us.[/quote]
