Current Aidan parent here. We are frustrated with the administration, but we decided to keep our daughter there because she loves it so much. We were at another school prior to Aidan, and she would cry every morning because she didn't want to go. Now she is excited to go to school! That said, I do think that you should look into what a Montessori curriculum looks like and whether it is a good fit for your child. It has been wonderful for our daughter's developments, she gets outdoor play time every day, and when we pick her up she is all smiles. Good luck with your search.

Also, Aidan Montessori is VERY Montessori - so you need to want that. If you aren't dying for Montessori, then go to Little Folks.

Second Little Folks.

Which one is closer to your house?

Any thoughts on current or previous parents with either of them is highly appreciated.

On a search in this forum, Aidan has some mixed reviews (mainly around the administration i understand) and little folks (mostly positive).

Any details on positive or negative experiences?

Im confused. You saw reviews, mostly positive and what more are you looking for?
