Re: Montessori school education
I looked into it also but decided against. The focus is on academics and they work very hard at it so of course the little ones are further ahead than the children who had no pre-k or typical pre-k experiences. But by the time all the kids enter 1st grade, they're all at the same level whether they've gone to Montessori, regular pre-k or no pre-k. Its probably a good option for exceptional kids who would move on the accelerated or gifted curriculum and kids who enjoy academics. But most kids enjoy a more typical type of pre-k experience and do just as well in school.
