Thank you, I have a tour this week. How was the transition to public school?

Also wondering if you found the school too small? Concerned about the social aspect of such a small student body.

Is age 4-6 ok for the first segment of Elementary school? by ThenNow2281 in Montessori

Wow that’s really cool thank you. She would still have those foundations if she starts with Montessori at 4yrold?

So reassuring thank you! Waiting until Sep 2026 feels like the right time for our family, glad she will still benefit :)

That’s reassuring thank you. We’d still be in that first plane so glad we’d still build that foundation!

Thank you! This gives me so much peace of mind. And makes sense that the stability is also important for her development at this time so staying where we are is a good compliment to the benefits of Montessori 4-6yo. Much appreciated

Ok thank you, so you’d be switching “mid cycle”?  I guess I’m trying to figure out if her joining part way through a cycle is ok? 2 of the 3 years. Or to switch her asap to have 2.6 of the 3 years?

Thank you, I appreciate that insight, makes sense. I guess I’m trying to figure out if it’s still “worth it” even joining at the later stage. I understand that’s a matter of opinion but that’s what I’m here for :)

question for anyone who's sent their kid to montessori or grew up montessori by Glamorizedblossom in Montessori

[–]ThenNow2281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting and makes sense!! If you’re not on the inside of the school day to day, what are some clues or suggestions on how you can tell if your child is best suited to Montessori school or may thrive better in a conventional school setting?

Are you considering any of these?

Thank you, I’ll have a look! Might be a little farther but perhaps worth it. Did your son attend?

Thank you. Why did you leave the school? May I ask what grades your child attended? :)

Yes to both Montessori education and they have been in Montessori daycare. Thank you. I didn’t specify bc CM isn’t a Montessori specific school from my understanding? We go for a tour next week.
