[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 think it’s one thing if the PP put her child in the program only for the morning and picked up for lunch/nap/afternoon with her child, but she describes it as her child waking up and eating in a “leisurely fashion” and basically she and her child doing whatever they wanted in terms of the daycare, showing up whenever and leaving whenever. That’s not entitled? My child’s providers specially sent home a letter asking us to please be on time in the mornings so as not to disrupt the classroom dynamic and routines. [/quote]

Yes, most people need to keep to a set schedule or the classroom becomes a free-for-all, but then, most people aren’t willing to pay for full time school/care while only using it 3-4 hours/day. The school probably saw the value in collecting the money and keeping the student/teacher ratio low. Besides, this would be a little less disruptive in a Montessori classroom than a traditional classroom. If you can have it all, why wouldn’t you opt to?

Anyway, OP, if it’s possible, have you considered changing dc’s schedule to MWF?[/quote]
