Our son, now 5, has been at Springstone since he was 18 months old. We cannot say enough. Trust the process-they know what they are doing. At 5 he reads, writes, and does math. We got the list of things he should be able to do once he finishes kindergarten from the public school system and laughed. Montessori teaches respect for others thoughts, feelings and objects. Because of Springstone our son is well mannered, respectful and intelligent.
In regards to some of the other comments: teacher student ratios are low and if a child is unruly they can be sent home for the day--this includes your own child. Go see Springstone for yourself. You can observe the classrooms from monitors in the lobby. Go for a tour-maybe you will get to see children gardening, at computer class or doing yoga.
