[quote=Anonymous]We decided against Montessori school. Preschool is a time for kids to develop social skills and their imaginations, which forms the foundation of higher level thinking later. The schools near us do not seem to have much interaction, it is very individually focused. We were also put off by the rigidity of there being a "right" and "wrong" way to play with the materials. We were told for example, that if a child took a pot from the toy kitchen and imaginatively put it on her head as a hat, that she would be redirected and if she continued to "work" incorrectly she would be removed. I can imagine that it could be done differently. OP, having had a toddler and a newborn, I think that you are crazy to think of spending 90 min in the car per day, that is 7.5 HOURS per week. I also think that having your child so far away won't allow you to easily spend time there and get a sense of how it is working. Find a closer preschool with a nice playground and kind teachers. She is only 2. The school cut the tuition because they are not full, other people are passing on that opportunity.[/quote]
