Ivan has attended a Montessori program since he was 18 months and first entered a daycare program. (First Moussi Montessori in Squamish from 18 months through 4, then from 4-6 at Squamish Montessori School, and then for grade 1 we had moved to Vancouver and lucked into a spot at Renfrew Elementary in the Montessori program there.) The setup and flow of a Montessori environment is very familiar to him, and as parents, we have keenly observed how well he has flourished in this setting.
