Huh?

How is using the Goddard or Creative curriculum more limited than Reggio or Montessori?

We are at a Goddard school and love it. It is absolutely play-based (which, by the way, Montessori is not -- it's the opposite of play based).

This is turning into another "preschool vs daycare" asinine fight.

I am the PP and my child is at a daycare that uses the Creative Curriculum. Definitely not trying to turn this into a fight. Some parents want a specific curriculum. It's hard to find Montessori at daycares. That's all.
