[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same reaction as PP.  We strongly considered Montessori especially because my son is on the older end due to a fall birthday but “advanced” as far as 3/4 year olds go so liked the mixed age classroom. Ended up at country day because we loved how they talked about early education, the teachers, the grounds. No regrets, but I’m sure he would have thrived in Montessori too.[/quote]

OP here - so glad to hear, thanks. Definitely like their philosophy. In terms of “academics” (kind of hate using that word with 3 year olds, but…), how do you think their reading program is? DC loves books and we want to be sure she’s at a place that fosters that and supports reading skills, and I’ve seen a number of commenters note this as an area of weakness at CDS (especially when compared to Montessori). Curious to hear if you have similar perception. [/quote]

She’s 3, OP. I guarantee her reading skills will be fine no matter where she goes. She could go to a two day per week Mother’s Morning Out program in a church basement and her reading skills would be just fine. She will learn what she needs to learn in kindergarten. [/quote]
