I have looked into Montessori approach and have gone with my daughter for interviews in 2 Montessori schools in Jersey City NJ. Our experiece was quite positive and the school tour and interviews were informative. We went back to Taiwan for 3 months this year and my daughter had attended a very well run Montessori school for 1.5 months. She cried for the first 3 weeks but on the last week school we were invited to visit the classroom and I clearly saw that my daughter focusing on her work she picked from the life skill area and I was impressed. Due to my husband's job change we are moving back to Vancouver BC where we have extended family there. Thus for this coming September if possible I would like my daughter to continue her social and learning development in a Montessori environment.
