My daughter was in Montessori (the La Jolla Village one, not the Mt. Soledad) for pre-school and we loved it! Yes, very academically oriented which I am pretty sure that most of the places you are talking about are not doing. (However we don’t have direct experience with the others). We liked this particular school because it was a “lighter” version of Montessori implementation. They weren’t quite as strict and regimented and quiet as we saw at others Montessori schools. they were more flexible and accomodating. Kids were happy and still kids.

Many of the parents in our class are sending their kids off to K in public schools (La Jolla).There are a few that will continue with 1 yr of Montessori kindergarten at the same location.

If you are looking for about full-day accomodations anyway , I don’t think the fees are quite that much different between different options. The extra bucks are worth it, IMHO. Ours is about $1000/month (till 3 pm) and $5/hr until 5:30 pm. Montessori however has more vacations/breaks/holidays so you have to plan for that (i.e. camps at YMCA, Kids Ventures, etc.).

Yes, this IS a very good sign. It’s interesting because I also heard very recently from some IT person working for one of the major banks (I believe it was BOA) that “they” are now making a last ditch effort at loan mod before putting them on the market either as short sale, or foreclosures. This person didn’t know details so I thought it was just a rumor…

Just curious, how long is the registration open? If somebody moves in the area in summer, I would think they should still be able get in, right?

I am leaning towards renting in an area close to work (i.e. La Jolla) because the advatanges outweight the disadvantages. The biggest by far are less commute, no freeway commute, less stress, more free time, more flexibility during the day. Then, money saved on gas and insurance – and don’t need to buy a 2nd car! More flexibility in terms of where to buy is just a minor point, really.

We are still open to rent in PQ if we can find a better deal – better and cheaper 3 bdr house w/ yard there than the townhouses we are considering in La Jolla – to compensate for the costs associated with the commute. Advantage – rent in the area where we’ll buy, the kid stays in the same schools as all her friends…

If we rent in La Jolla, we plan to get into a place by the end of the elementary school so no need for another school move barring extreme circumstances until kid finishes high school.
