[quote=Anonymous]We had my DD in a Montessori preschool and the emphasis on independence was really valuable. You CAN learn it in any preschool, but it is a central focus of Montessori so they seem to master things much earlier in a Montessori environment. I also liked the seeming ability to differentiate more easily for elementary, but we did not pursue it past preschool so I don't know how it would have worked in practice. I do know not all schools, Montessori or otherwise, are created equal and knew a few older Montessori kids that ended up very far ahead in some subject areas and far behind in others. In traditional school they probably would have been in the middle all around. This is all anecdotal since we didn't continue with Montessori, but I think it can be great for some self-motivated kids and less of a good fit for others.[/quote]
