[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been at Aidan since the Toddler program and our child is now in Primary. We have had such a positive experience that we are planning to keep our child there until the program ends in Grade 6. The Toddler program is *not* glorified daycare, as the PP who took a tour 2.5 years ago seems to think. The Toddler teachers and assistants are extremely experienced and kind. The kids in Toddler wash and prepare food for their communal meal (including *safely* cutting up fruits and vegetables), set the table and wash up afterward, do pre-literacy and math work, and are potty-trained by the teachers. They also do a lot of Montessori manipulative and sensorial work. The community is also racially diverse, which was important to our family as we come from a multi-ethnic background. We have had a similarly stellar experience in Primary -- caring, committed teachers, really interesting work with beautiful materials (no plastic junk), and our kid loves being able to select her own work -- she has become a very confident, independent kid at Aidan.  It's a relatively small school so you get to know people pretty quickly, and fortunately the parent community is for the most part very committed and pleasant, no attitude or DC-snobbishness.[/quote]

If this is true they've done a 360 because we had a teacher there who was neither experienced nor kind.  [/quote]
