Time to start Montessori school

[Salona]

I have a 22 month boy, should i put him now in Montessori school's toddler program, or better wait until he's three to get into the CASA program in Montessori and the cost would be $300/month less than the toddler. Very much appreciate your input. Thanks!

你要上班吗？如果不，就自己辛苦点带吧。春夏秋冬每天都可以安排丰富多采的活动。学到的见识到的肯定要比M学校的多。个人意见而已。

个人认为toddler program没什么意思，跟普通daycare看起来也没什么区别。
而且蒙校质量参差不齐，要一家一家看。

Once you are involved into the CASA program, you have to stay for 3 years to be graduated, and then go to elementary in the same Montessori school. The graduates from CASA program are equivalent to grade 2 in the public school system academically. So you would have a long term plan, better to put him into at 3 yrs old so when he finish the CASA at 6 yrs, you could choose between either public or private schools, in both cases, he will have some academic advantages.

The CASA starts at two and a half (Entrance age 2.5).

If i were you, i would wait until he is full 30 month, and start CASA, which is a very very good program for this age.

Thanks very much for all your inputs, which reaffirms the decision that I'm going to take. Would you please kindly offer your suggestion with regards to better Montessoris in the area. They are largely different in tution charge, Does high tution generally parallel to a high quality? Many thanks.

Depends on which area you are living. The Ottawa Montessori School is the best choice for lots of people, check this : Ottawa Montessori School – Tuition

You could also ask Moms in your community for suggestions. The fee in private school is expensive indeed for normal working class, so I would be very careful in choosing. Also, you should go to schools to visit and find out which one looks better for your money.

Agree! But if you do need to go to work, CASA is way better than a normal daycare. My two cents.
