Midwood Montessori

We just started studying, I can’t really decide yet, but the teachers are very good, the attitude towards children is soft, always present and sometimes gives a lesson, the head of the school, Harriet, is a friendly, calm, kind woman ... (I like it) that all the staff are under her observation!
Clean, no foreign smells.
Bring your own lunch (it suits me)
But so far the only rule in this school is not pleasant, which of course introduces me into some bewilderment and horror: A child can take only 2 very small cookies ....! 3 is already banned...
but a small child was hungry .... (my child was crying) Why tease children with 2 cookies - for me it's scary when a child wants to eat and he is forbidden! At the same time, the price per month is very high, but COOKIES can only be 2 ...
Let's see what happens next, hope it doesn't get any worse.

I was never personally exposed to Montessori schooling prior to my wife finding this wonderful place - though she had gone to Montessori as a child and so had some expectation. In describing it to me I initially thought, "well... structure is necessary, I'm not so sure." ... admittedly, with a total lack of understanding. In truth Midwood Montessori can be more structured than my own house! They are meticulous about their lesson planning and learning path as well as documentation/observation of their students. No parent teacher meeting is fluff. All hard and interesting often pleasantly surprising details about your child's independent adventures through inquiry, socializing and learning. It's an amazing place that my daughter's share a truly amazing connection with (it has single-handedly kept my family from moving outside of NYC - and was thrilled to have had our second child attend as well. +1
