I have been doing a lot of reading about waldorf-mainly early childhood since my baby is only 9 1/2 months. I love the ideas so far but I don't really understand the difference between waldorf and montessori. Any info would be helpful. Thanks....
I know a little bit about Waldorf philosophy and am just starting to research Montessori.Which one do you prefer and why?Reading about all this is great but hearing personal accounts is invaluable.Thank you,peggy...
Anyone have any thoughts on this subject? My son is 29 mths old and goes to a Montessori school three mornings a week for 3 hours. He loves it! His teacher is great and he enjoys spending time with the other kids, as he's an only child. I know that the teacher makes all the difference i...

I see the comparisons on the differents schools, but even on a google search can not seem to find what I'm looking for. I realize every student is different regarding testing scores etc. I'm looking for stats? I guess on college acceptance from public, montessori, waldorf schools and h...
My husband and I got in a pretty big argument last night about schooling. I really want our kids to go to Waldorf school and he thinks private school is inferior to public school - stating that private schools are less diverse and the kids lead a more sheltered life. He said that the education w...
I do not know much about them at all, but we are trying to figure out schools in this area. Any information / recommendations at all would be appreciated. Thanks for your time....
I have an incoming 5 year old kindergartener. We did not win the magnet school lottery, we did not get into a fantastic private school (but nor could we afford the 16$/yr tuition, so it's probably for the best), and our local public school is highly underperforming and rife with tales of bu...
So...what school system would you say is the class on The Magic School Bus? Actually I think it was PS but with Ms. Frizzle going her own route with the teaching, but we know that wouldn't work IRL....
