[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montessori class sizes are large because that is their methodology. Most Montessori schools are not licensed as preschools because they do not meet the usual ratios for preschools. [/quote]

How does THAT work? What keeps Bright Horizons from licensing itself as a "Montessori school" so it can not comply with day care ratios?[/quote]

because Bright Horizons does not have the educational materials, certified teachers, and educational program required by either the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) or the American Montessori Society (AMS)...not that there is anything wrong with that, but other programs have different approaches and parents that enroll at Franklin have chosen a Montessori program... it does seem strange that OP did not read the materials provided by the school, do research onMontessori, listen during the tour, open their eyes during the classroom tour, or ask any questions at the school before posting here about group sizes...my child has been at Franklin for years and the fact that it was a Montessori school and what that meant was not in any way hidden...in fact, that is exactly why we choose the school.[/quote]
