      At what age is it good to begin to take our child to a Montessori school?

      Oh my, sorry for your bad experience. I totally disagree. I think if you spend at least 3 years in early childhood or early el in a SOLID, true Montessori program it teaches you how to learn and that learning can happen where ever. I attended Montessori school from kindergarten through 4th grade, and had no trouble transitioning to traditional public school. In fact, I loved school until high school. So, don’t discount a good Montessori program!

      I personally think, having been to a montessori school, that although it was a beatiful experience, I was only there for a short time, and when I went to “big school” if you will, it was a completely different experience, there was pressure, deadlines, coursework, and it was seldom hands on. There is no point in sending your child to a montessori pre-school if you don’t intend on continuing in montessori, it’s a big schock to the system, a shock I’m still getting over!

      why do they use cursive writing? When they are older all they would need to know is how to sign there name.

      I hope they are learning computer skills as well.

      I really like this video and feel that it showcases so many wonderful things about the Montessori curriculum. For example, there seemed to be a special needs boy in the classroom. Although the misconception is that Montessori is for “normal” children, this video shows that Montessori is for everyone!

      Things you should know: the Illuminati is run by reptilian astral entities known throughout history as Djinn, Nagas, Sheti, Angels/Demons, Dragons, Dracul etc. that rule the higher echelons of Freemasonry and do foul sex&torture rituals usually with young children getting eaten. They’ll probably stage terror attacks soon, then will come an American union(WW3 too) & a staged alien invasion w/Draconian-saviours! Get storable? food, support Stewart Swerdlow, Alex Jones, Dr.Deagle & David Icke!

      I went to a montessori school for 5 years. I switched after 4th grade. It worked fine in CH and E1 but afterwards it went way down hill.

      I am a Montessori teacher and it is the most awesome, kind education, respecting the child without restrictions found in public schools, if the child wants to speak they do not have to raise their hand, if they want a drink or go to the bathroom they just go without adult permission. This education is all about peace, does not sound like Karl Marx. In fact Hitler wanted Maria Montessori to teach in his schools as did musolini and she declined. You must have gone to a bad school. Sorry

      I went to a Montessori school for 8 years, and some of their ideas were frighteningly similar to those of Karl Marx.

      I am now in college and I am very proud to say that I began my education at a Montessori school. I studied there until primary school. A year after, I transferred to a public school and noticed the big difference in the teaching style and the cognitive level of the students.

      I long for the days in which I was able to enjoy learning in the Montessori way. Where I was able to learn things independently and at my own phase.
