There are a number of reasons I would like for Sam to attend WMA, but in the interests of keeping your review relatively painless, I'll limit myself here to three broad reasons. 
The first and most important reason (elaborated upon more fully in the question below) is that I think an early Montessori education provides children with a number of substantial benefits, and a solid core from both an educational and personal development perspective that then travels with them through life. I firmly believe that my Montessori foundation has enabled and facilitated much of my academic comfort and success, contributing to where I find myself today, and would love for my daughter to have a similar introduction to school.
The second reason is that I would love Sam to gain exposure to the Italian language and culture through her schooling. I am half Italian, but the Italian portion of my family lives in Toronto (where I also lived in my early years). In the absence of being able to spend time with these relatives, I would love for her to be able to learn more about her heritage through the Italian portion of WMA's curriculum, and to interact with Italian elders through WMA's outreach at Villa Carital.
The third reason is WMA's physical environment and setting. The Casa classroom is a bright, spacious, and welcoming setting for learning, and its adjacent contained outdoor space is quiet and pleasant. The campus at the ICC is conveniently located to our home, and I would also love for Sam to be within walking distance of her school.
