[blparent] Montessori education

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Why do you like Montessori? Have you explored other options?  You need to know what else is out there besides Montessori before you can make an informed decision.
Montessori is one of many buzz words de juer so you want to be sure you know what you're getting. Also, your kid may not thrive in the Montessori system.

Bernadetta,

I don't have personal experience with Montessori schools, but my mom,
who is a teacher, has always raved about Montessori schools. They are
usually pricey, but the education is suppose to be top-notch. They
emphasize the learning-by-experience method so many public schools lack
these days. Children learn in multiple styles allowing them to
experience lessons in a method best for them; example:
Auditory,kinestetic and visual. They also use the station model where
various learning stations are often used to instruct. Again, I'm no
expert here, nor do I have personal experience, but my mom, who has
studied various types of learning methods, has always recommended a
Montessori education.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Hey everyone,
Our little boy is not yet eight months old, but we're looking into
schools that would be suitable for him. We're really liking the
Montessori approach and there's even a school nearby that accepts
students  from eighteen months old.
Have any of you had your kids enrolled in a Montessori school? If so,
can you please share your experiences? I'm really looking for some
insite on the part of parents who send their kids to a Montessori
accredited school. We're also trying to figure out what the differences
are , regarding either of the Montessori associations recognized in the
US. Thanks a bunch in advance, everyone.

Best,

Bernadetta
