However, when my baby was born, we found a Goddard school and I was able to put them both in the same place together. It was an amazing school and a fantastic experience for both of them. I was so pleased with their "learn through play" philosophy as I feel at this age, children need to have lots of fun and be engaged with many hands-on activities as they learn. They got all of this and more at their school. Lots of learning mixed with lots of fun. It was a perfect fit for our family! Along the way the learned to cooperate, help clean up, share, and to use their manners. We loved it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203590395010830315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31651336.post-62541949396471799562010-07-20T11:48:05.982-04:002010-07-20T11:48:05.982-04:00For riley she loves daycare better than Montessori...For riley she loves daycare better than Montessori. For me, I also prefer it and would do better in that kind of "fun" environment.

She has a chance to experience a variety of environments that are safe and monitored by her teachers and loving mommies and I BET she will adapt pretty quickly and find it enjoyable! Not all children have the opportunity to experience such wonderful things. I think Kylie is going to be very well-rounded and open to new experiences and perspectives as a result of how she is being raised! This can only serve her well as she grows toward adulthood! Best of luck!

I am sure it is fabulous, but I too have visited other schools only to realize that, FOR ME, I prefer the calming, quiet nurturing environment of Montessori. It's fits better into the lives I create for my children and my parenting philosophies. I'll be interested to hear what you think once Kylie has finished her summer session and you have something to compare it to.For the Long Haulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05844179491237413679noreply@blogger.com
