[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are also happy at CHML and we definitely do not have to provide materials. I do think the Montessori materials are expensive and there is usually a request for donations at the beginning of the year. In our case, its to add to the materials already there, not to buy the basics. [/quote]

Most of the Montessori materials (think "Pink Tower") are durable.  Once a teacher has one, it will last for many years.

This was a specific reference to new teachers who do not have an inventory to draw from.  I do not know if this is still the case, but the teachers used to publish a "wish list" at the first orientation meeting where parents could select an item from the catalog to donate to a class.

The last year at Watkins, a new teacher came on board and parents from the existing classes donated to this new teacher's class, I know because I gave her like $50.

I always looked at it as a quirk of a growing program with a tight budget, so I didn't mind. DD got a great start to her education there, so it was money well spent imo. [/quote]
