[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is at a traditional Montessori.

Some of the things they do at LAMB that are not strictly Montessori include things like not having a "controlled environment" for the kids.  When I visited we saw a lot of work on the walls, for example (which Montessori claims is distracting).  Also, parents are welcomed into the classroom (in pure Montessori it's the children's space and opportunities for parents to be part of the classroom are very minimal to non-existant).  They also appear to do some work together as the entire classroom, rather than individual.  And they use technology in the classroom which is not an accepted Montessori practice.

To be honest, in those areas I like the flexibility that LAMB has, rather than the rigidity of a traditional Montessori.

However, overall I wasn't impressed with our visit.  The open house was chaotic and not very welcoming.  The commute would also be tough for us.  We didn't even apply for PK4.[/quote]

Thank you for this post...useful and detailed [/quote]
