I have been investigating schools this year. I am doing just what MantaRay is doing, I'm going & visiting, asking questions, asking parents at drop off time what they think.

Matilda goes to a Montessori but it ends at 6yrs old, and the nearest Montessori school is almost an hour drive away, so its not an option where we are living. But I don't know if its the "Montessori" of the "kindy" that I love, but the teachers & how they handle Matilda.
