[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a SAHM and put my 3 year old in a full day Montessori.  He only went there for 3-4  hours every day.  I liked the school, teachers and the cohort a lot, but I wanted my DC to use it as a playgroup primarily.  We were unable to find a high quality playgroup that we liked so we decided on the Montessori.  To secure our spot, we paid the full price.  The school and teachers were pretty accommodating.  My kid went there after he woke up in a leisurely fashion, had a nice breakfast at home and then he went to play and learn with his friends.  I had no problems in pulling him out for fun outings, or if he did not want to go for some reason or some days when he or I just wanted to hang out at home. I also let him stay longer if there was something fun happening at school. In the years he was there, I helped to organize a lot of fun events in his school and classroom. [/quote]

This is the epitome of entitlement.[/quote]

Why? Honestly, what is the problem with this? Serious question.[/quote]

I am the above poster. I actually know several people, myself included, who have paid for a full-day spot for flexibility, but don’t utilize the entire block of time. It just adds to the flexibility. Not sure how this is entitled or disruptive for the teachers or class if communication is open and advance notice is given of longer days? [/quote]

Did you read the PP’s description? She said no playgroup or other activity measured up to her standards, so she enrolled her child in a full montessori program to basically be a 2 hour playgroup every day.  :roll: [/quote]

Sure I read it, and she said 3 to 4 hours, not two. Maybe there was something about OP’s tone that didn’t land with some folks here, but again: What’s wrong with NOT keeping your kid in a center for the entire day if you want flexibility? And what’s wrong with wanting a play-based experience for a three-year-old? Enlighten me.[/quote]

There’s nothing wrong with wanting a play based experience. The issue is that she should have chosen a morning only program or a nanny, like the rest of us, rather than expecting all the other children and the teachers to accomodate her little Larlo “thought leader.”[/quote]
