Just wondering if anyone has sent their children to a Steiner or Montessori playgroup, kindergarten or school, and can share their experiences.

What do you think of the school & the education philosophy?

What's the main differences between it and mainstream (if you can compare)?

How has it/is it working out for your child socially, intellectually, creatively, etc?

Any other info you'd like to share.

I'm considering both for my children but would like to hear from other parents before I go down the pre-enrolment road.

TIA
