My kid use to go to kinderhouse montessori. I think overall my kid had a really positive experience at a montessori school.

PM me if you want more info.

I think in a lot of ways the montessori system was much more effective teaching than what my kid gets in public school in CV right now..

My kid also goes to a chinese afterschool program right now. A lot of it is more memory based, without real understanding imho….

But in all seriousness, you’re kid’s mileage is heavily influenced by what you do. I made a habit of having my kid read with me each night for about 15-20 minutes. I’m not expecting a superstar, just someone who loves to read. (I hated to read when I was kid..Who am I kidding. I still hate to read). My kid has decent reading skills now. My kid can do math, but a lot of the concepts like multiplication/etc she can do the mechanism but doesn’t really understand what she is doing.
