[quote=Anonymous]My 3.5 year old is in a Montessori school, which we picked largely for location/aftercare options. There are many things that are great about the Montessori approach, including teaching independence, allowing for free-choice of activities during the day, teaching life skills, etc. There is also art and nature and gym time. There is early introduction to letters and counting, but not in a overly academic way. It is a very thoughtful approach to virtually everything that goes on in the classroom. That being said, my impression is that the 4 year olds get more out of it than the 3 year olds. For the first half of the year, I don't think my son did much of anything in terms of the "Montessori" materials. He liked to draw, paint, etc. I still liked the deliberate approach to learning. Also, all the teachers are highly trained and experienced. This is a different class of teachers than day care workers. [/quote]
