Montessori pre-schools?

[CC11]

Has anyone had any experience with Montessori preschools for 2-6 year olds?

Especially the Kalker Montessori Center in Bulleen.

Thanks

I love love love them. Dd2 went for six months at age 4. But the travel too and from was too much.

I also love love love them, lol. My son went to a Montessori playgroup when he was little (before DD1 came along) and now attends a Montessori school in the toddler group (he's 3y3m). He goes for two hours, two days a week and he loves it so much. I'm so glad that I let him start there. A part of it is his amazing connection with his two teachers, but he loves all the different type of work they do there. As soon as DD1 gets to the minimum age I'm going to let her start there too. She already tries to get in the room when we drop of/pick up DS, gives the teacher a kiss and when she makes it into the room she starts doing "work" really nicely hehe. DD2 will go there too
