[quote=Anonymous]I think there's a really long thread still on Montessori if you do a search debating this very thing. I found the really strict Montessori schools to be quite serious like the one you described and many others to be very friendly and have lots of engagement during the day. There is a bit of seriousness encouraged for part of the day at all Montessori schools. I'm perfectly fine with some time allotted for concentrating and reflecting. My child has been in preschool/daycare for 8 hours a day and can use some time for thinking and reflecting during the day instead of songs and play all day long. I just don't like the schools where this is the type of behavior throughout most of the day. Personally I think 3 hours a day for 5 days is too much time for a preschooler. DC's school implemented a 3 hour work day for 3 days during the week and then the other days they had some work time but also specials or additional activities. It was a nice mix.[/quote]
