A+ for virtual pre-k? Please share the amazing secret that has your 3 year old learning just as well as they would in person from a screen![/quote]

The school provided lots of supplies and are NOT requiring my DC to be on the screen for little more than 30 minutes a day. When they are on, teacher is so sweet and engaging.

They’re in PK, [b]they learn by playing.[/b] And that’s what they would essentially be doing in person and so that’s what we do at home.[/quote]

Methinks you don't understand Montessori. It is not a play-based curriculum.  If want you want is 30 minutes of a sweet engaging teacher and then for your kid to play at home all day, that is 100% developmentally appropriate, but it's not Montessori preschool. You can't do Montessori preschool online.[/quote]

+1.  My child is in Upper Elementary at LAMB.  They are doing a hybrid of Montessori, but it is far from a Montessori teaching method.  You need too many tactile teaching devices, particularly for math.  I don't know how you could do Montessori over a computer screen.  I hope someone can figure it for all Montessori schools, but it is unlikely to happen when my child is still at LAMB.  [/quote]

I am concerned about Montessori for distance learning. In primary it's a morning social meeting and 30 minutes of class per week outside of the meet and greets. There IS an expectation that kids know letters and numbers in K, and I can't see how this will get them there. There seems to be an assumption that parents are going to take care of this and so school is just for staying connected.  Montessori isn't focusing on core knowledge enough in my opinion. I get DL isn't the model, but now is the time to get it done even if it's not high fidelity adherance.  [/quote]
