[quote=Anonymous]We looked at the opposite of play based. We chose a well-thought out academic curriculum, that would be introduced when my child was "ready". In the end, knowing the teacher and having confidence in their abilities was key. We chose Montessori for this exact reason - there is certainly time for play, but for my tuition, I wanted to make sure there were specific items covered that I couldn't do at home. That I don't have the training for. Definitely go on a visit. Look around the room. In a Montessori environment a teacher gives tons and tons of lessons at the beginning of the year, to allow children to work independently. Then more lessons given as they progress. If you are in a traditional preschool setting, the children can usually only get out what they are told to get out, or they work in circle time a lot. We were also looking for a quieter space, not chaotic. We found it in Montessori.[/quote]
