[quote=Anonymous]How about this, from a parent long past the preschool years. Do what works for your kid, and pick a preschool based on what works for your family, not based on an internet argument about the "right pedagogy for the 21st century." One of my kids did Montessori. Another did play-based and then Montessori. The salient factor here wasn't the pedagogy, it was choosing a school that seemed to care about my child's socio-emotional development as well as pre-literacy and pre-numeracy. As it turns out, the Montessori emphasis on student problem-solving and conflict management was a really great fit for my sensitive kid, but that wasn't because it was Montessori - it was because they genuinely cared about giving the kids the skills to describe their feelings and solve their problems.
