Both my husband and I have noticed that Krishen is needing more than what is current preschool offers.  Even though he has not been in montessori before, he is ready to learn what the method offers.  We are hoping for Krishen to learn more about phonics, numeracy, the beginnings of reading and the social-emotional aspects that Montessori can offer.  For him to be in a safe and encouraging environment where he can learn from others and grow within himself is important as well.
