Montessori compromises

My husband and I cannot agree about the curriculum we want for out daughter. He seems to be convinced that a Montessori school is the best way forward. I am not so sure. I think Montessori compromises on imagination while focussing too much on real-world learning. I think kids need to enjoy fairy tales and role plays. Would love some advice from mums and dads out here.

In Singapore, MOE requires Montessori school to blend in the thematic learning so to suit the elementary school learning styles. Thus, you do not have to worry Montessori will not fit into future schools. Montessori school do have role play e.g. real cooking activities.
