[quote=Anonymous]Re: Aidan. Remember, Montessori primary is a very specific program for ages 3-6. If you pull out your child before the primary stint is up, then it seems to me Aidan most likely loses out on the tuition because they probably won't be able to fill your child's spot with another 5/6 year old who has Montessori in their background (on rare occasions someone will move from another country and have gone to Montessori) and could easily slip right into the spot. It makes sense to me that if your family has a "history" (even just one child) of pulling out before primary is finished (the same age range as Kindergarten) then you might not be at the top of their list for a sibling because they fear you'd do it again. It is very hard financially for a relatively small school like Aidan to lose the 17K (or so) tuition for a child's spot that can't necessarily be filled. Effects like a tuition raise would be felt, the class sizes uneven between programs and classes (this is happening this year). We have a child at Aidan. [/quote]
