Parents of Montessori kiddos out there?

My daughter just turned 4 last weekend and has been enrolled in a Montessori Preschool since February. I like the school so far and feel that's it's a positive environment for her to learn and grow. She is able to attend the school up until the age of 6 1/2, then upon sucessful completion, she can transfer to a private Montessori school in the are for Elementary.

If your child has been enrolled in Montessori for a while now, have you noticed any positive or negative changed in your child? I am just wanting to know how the program had benefited your child or held your child back. Is there anything I should be checking for exactly?

I know my daughter is still very young, but a lot of times I will ask her what she did in school, and she will say "Idk. I played with my friends.".

    Oh and FWIW, DD will still just tell me she did work when I ask what she did at school. She also tells me she doesn't know what she ate for lunch or snack.

    DD has only been in Montessori for preschool for 4 months, but DH and I always talk to each other about how we already see a difference in her behavior.  She's so much more independent, and she really loves going to school.  Her fine and gros

    With out echoing all of the PP I will say that the questions you are asking are too general. Try specifics: Did you build the pink tower today? Did you wash your own dishes after snack? Did you ride a bike during outside time? Did you paint/play with sand

    our school isn't montessori, but it's based on simliar philosophies.  They learn through play, so it all seems like play to the kids.   I really like how they're with older and younger kids.  It's a community learning environment, and

    DS I think is the youngest in his room...he just turned 3 when he started. He loves going to school and we're told everyone really likes him and he has many friends. He is not very forth coming either when it comes to telling us about his day, yet he'll t
