[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here back with an update: we finally visited a montessori school and that is clearly a much better fit for our daughter so thank you to the PP who suggested it. [/quote] Can you share which one?[/quote] We visited Del Rey Montessori but I imagine any Montessori adhering to the original model would probably offer what we were looking for - we just wanted educational materials made available to our daughter that she could progress through as she's interested and capable. A lot of the other places we visited had a more strict notion of what a child can and, more importantly, can not do at a certain age so we were finding a lot of places that felt there's no point in working with our kid on the material she's interested in and begging us to teach her at home. Montessori seems to have a more fluid understanding of when and how a child might progress from the basic building blocks of letter recognition through to the beginning stages of reading. I think that flexibility will suit her well and I think she'll appreciate having the next level of understanding just a step away rather than being told you have to wait two years for that. [/quote]
