[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than language, How does LAMB differ from
other "true" Montessori programs? (Genuine question I have as a prospective parent.)[/quote]

It's my understanding that LAMB has more group work than an AMI Montessori, that the classroom is less of a "controlled environment", [b]that is that parents are allowed in, can volunteer in the classroom for story time or other activities, that there is art work on the walls and other things that true Montessori considers to be a distraction[/b] for children who need a quiet, calm place that is theirs alone and is free from anything that takes their focus away from the class.  They also use technology in the class.  I'm sure there are other distinctions and I'm also interested in hearing about them.[/quote]

Provide the Montessori quotes, please, to prove that Maria Montessori wanted to keep parents out of classrooms and art work off of walls.  [/quote]

Read what she wrote about the Prepared Environment.  I think that the question of whether she would have let the method evolve is a very interesting one, but anyone who knows anything about Montessori knows that the approach that is closest to Dr. Montessori's original vision is very strict about the environment in which the children are taught and the lack of distraction.
