[quote=Anonymous]I went on a tour of Aidan last year prepared to really like it. I ended up taking it off our list. A few reasons: - They seemed elitist and self-important. We want a place that’s down to earth. - The commitment to Montessori bordered on cultish. The education director said that every kid loves it and the parents who are less than happy probably don’t understand the Montessori approach well enough. - The parent who took us around shooed away the kids when they tried to interact with us. Some of them tried to show us their artwork and she said “go back and work!” It seemed cold. These were 4-5 year olds. In all, it seemed strict, elitist, and just not our cup of tea. We are at a play-based program now and are very happy.[/quote]
