My husband and I truly believe in the Montessori teaching methodology.  We believe it build self-confidence and children are really gaining knowledge (mainstream learning tends to teach to pass exams).  We moved to Canada about a year ago (my husband works for the US government).  We didn't have many options on schools due to the timing of our arrival.  We feel lucky we were able to send Madelyn to a Montessori school.  Lions Gate is a great foundation but we would like to send Madelyn to WMA as we feel it's a more balanced environment.
