[quote=Anonymous]"As a new teacher to the Montessori setting I have a big concern about how much time they don't spend outside. The children in my class are far too anxious and on edge to spend so much time inside and "focused". I am not sure I want to get Montessori certified and this is fact is something that I am considering when making that decision. It is also something anyone who is considering putting their child in a Montessori school should also consider. "

We have the opposite at our school. The kids have a fenced in yards attached to several classrooms. When the weather is nice they can take their work outside,  and they have a garden and trees they have planted. They have separate playground areas and do free play in the morning and afternoon. There is a big oval track for tricycle, bike, etc riding. They also have a nature program where once or twice a week they go on nature walks or do something outside with the outdoor teacher.

Is your school in the city? I know some preschools in the city have less outdoor time because they don't have access to safe outdoor places.[/quote]
