You can go and take a look for yourself. They usually have open house days or schedule a tour with the school. I went to a Montessori school down my street and I was quite disappointed about their toddler program. The traditional Montessori only offers the Casa program, which is for children aged 3-6. The toddler program is really just a daycare, each Montessori operator might use some Montessori materials like puzzles, books and toys but it really depends on each school and each teacher.
The problem with the school I visited was that they simply cannot get qualified personnel. The teacher assigned to the toddler program simply went on ONE training session, she is NOT CCMA or AMI certified, I don't understand how she could claim that she's a Montessori educator! This just shows how different each school could be, and you really need to see it for yourself to be sure that you are paying for what it's worth. I was NOT impressed.

The problem with Montessori is that they have Toddler (两岁半以下) and Casa (Gr 1 以下) programs, but they mainly focus on the Casa program so all the good teachers will be in Casa.
However, most parents are only interested in the Toddler program, and their children won't stay during the Casa program because Casa program means the children won't be able to go to public school kindergarten.
If you are planning to have your child to go to the public school kindergarten, then Montessori is not a good choice. Even the headmasters of the Montessori schools I visited told me that.
