[quote=Anonymous]Liking pretend play is inherent to the child. Absent severe abuse, it can't be taught or taken away. So it has nothing to do with Montessori. Also "pretend play" is not the same thing as being creative. I'm creative, and I always HATED pretend play as a kid ... because it was so boring. I did not want to play princess, dragon, or cops and robbers. Finally kids are not good or bad at pretend play. It's just one way (out of many) that kids can play. If you want your kid to have more unstructured time for child-directed play (which may or may not include pretend play, depending on your kid), then sure, that is a consideration when choosing preschools.
