[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP here.  I'm legitimately interested to know about logan montessori.  I did a random search and found the thread referenced above.  If this is way off, I'd love to hear it.[/quote]

I'm a Logan parent..first year there for my 3 year old. I was not sold on the school before we started. I did not like a lot of what I read on DCUM and we also had some tense conversations with the administration about wait list transparency, etc. (I will say that the people who I know there and whose wait list numbers I know, do all fall into line.) When we got in I thought we may say no, but went for a second visit anyway and I was thoroughly impressed. The school feels very small, everyone knows everyone (unlike were DC started the school year) and the staff loves and is committed to making the school better. The parent community is nice...kids bike to school every Friday, they have an active health and wellness club where the kids cook and even do yoga after school. We are also very happy with our teacher and our friends who are in other primary classes are happy with their teachers as well.

Communication from the administration has not been perfect, and I have had to seek out information at times, when I have felt like it should have been provided. (The exception here is if there is any fall or incident, we get calls from the nurse and teacher no matter how minor.) There is also a very involved social worker who is a huge help if there are any concerns. The class size is pretty large but it is set up for the older kids to help the younger ones and I have seen this working. The only place where the class size bothers me is on the playground where there are just a LOT of kids out there at once.

DC is VERY happy. Loves his teacher, his friends, aftercare even. I am very happy with the progression and independence I am seeing from my child. So, we are staying through primary, not sure about elementary yet. Definitely try and get a spot. If you do, ask for a tour and you will likely be taken around by an adult and students, who are impressive in their social skills if nothing else. The school has definitely exceeded my expectations so far.

Good luck![/quote]
