On the other hand, I'm not sure my 3-year old needs to be in school every day (with mom currently in stay-at-home mode). And the whole thing can seem a bit new-agey and cult-like (e.g., "the cosmic child" and the constant and reverential references to Dr. Montesorri).
Any thoughts? I think we're leaning toward giving it a try.

I went from age 1.5 (two half-days a week) until I started either kindergarten or first grade. I loved it and I think it contributed greatly to forming the stellar person I am today.
Food for thought.
