[quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t feel rigid to me, and play based has its own curriculum too. (Draw the picture of how you’ll play with this doll, then go do it, then write about it, etc etc etc). Curricula by design have structure. Montessori is just one approach. The above is not true about play based preschools. Play based is the whole point. There are goals for children’s learning but they are achieved through PLAY, not by rote learning and being told that there is only one way to do something correctly. That is not appropriate for this age group. For the person who mentioned that there is only one way to use a compass in a class, that is also not true in a play based school. Materials are presented so that children can explore them and come up with their own ideas on usage. There is plenty of time in later years to use a compass for its “real” purpose. [/quote]
