Presch - nearby or Montessori
Should I send my 18 mo to a non Montessori sch nearby (2 km) or Montessori sch further away (5km)? I like the Montessori concept but thinking if I need to start at 18 mo or I can start later at nursery or k1
From an early childhood educator’s personal point of view, non-Montessori(childcare) differs from a Montessori preschool approach. Every childcare has its own approach, play-based, inquiry based, STEM, so you need to check them out yourself. Either way, starting your child early helps to promote social skills & independence in their early years. Your child will also pick up verbal skills. 💁🏽♀️ Some schools may not have slots for Nursery classes onwards as priorities are given to their existing students in IC & playgroup(18mths). Most good ctrs I know hv long waiting lists.

I took my daughter out from pn as she always falls sick in school cause the teachers still allows children that are sick to attend school. I only placed her back when she n1.
