For little kids, they can hardly tell the difference between working and playing. They learn the ideas, form the habits and develop the social skills while they are playing a variety of activities.

clear(clear)

There is no academic pushing for kids. The main Montessori principle is to respect the individualism of each child and encourage them to learn at their own paces. What the school is offering is the environment that kids feel comfortable for learning. Yes, Montessori school is focusing a lot on reading and math, but as long as the kids love it, they won't treat it as burden. As a matter of fact, my daughter loves reading so much and she never feels that reading a book is a sort of work. So don't worry too much, they won't get punished if they do not like math or reading.

枫下家园 / 家庭与子女 / 请教clear(clear) ：刚刚看到你的孩子送TMS，我们给儿子报了名上九月的全日toddler班（因为有觉睡），还有些顾虑。我想问一下： -brookfield(多多妈); 2005-1-24 {271} (#2090844@0)
我儿子到九月满两岁，现在每天下午要nap3小时。好像TMS的nap time时间很短，你家小孩睡午觉吗？每天大概睡多久？我准备也join他们的meal plan，因为可以让孩子吃热腾腾的饭，不知道你家小孩有没有吃学校的午饭，还爱吃吗？你们上下来觉得会继续送小孩上children's house班吗？
谢谢答复了！

Just saw your post. My daughter is in Children's House. She joined TMS when she is almost 4 when we moved to the area. She was in another Montessori school in the beaches area for two years. -clear(clear); 2005-1-24 {1087} (#2090933@0)
本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛So really I don't have much saying in TMS Toddler program. But based on our tour, TMS information session and my talks with parents from Toddler program, you do not have to worry about the nap that much. After the child gets used to it, they are fine with shorter nap.

My daughter is not in the Hot Meal plan, as far as I know, none of her classmates are on the plan regularly. I doubt the menus will fit your two years old in term of the size and items. I do have the menus if you want, I can give you some details when I am home. btw, the meals are provided by a company independent of school.

My daughter will remain in TMS in the foreseeable future. Currently it has no high school, but they already start planning so more students can streamline their education in one place.

Richmond Hill Montessori School is also good, but TMS is the model for the Montessori education in Toronto. Teachers of my daughter's previous school got training in TMS when they were certified. So it does mean something.

I know the notorious waiting list for Toddler Program so good luck !更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

Thanks a lot for your quick response! Really useful information. We are told that not many parents send their kids to the full-day toddler program so we will be able to enroll by September. Another question: -brookfield(多多妈); 2005-1-24 {142} (#2091016@0)
Do you think your daughter is learning too much? I mean is she sacrificing play time for knowledge? That's my main concern about Monterssori.

我也有同样担心，上周末参观了另一家montessori school的open house，那里的孩子上小学前都要有独立阅读能力并能写几句话的作文。听上去academic方面push得很厉害。 -holly(人生本来就是一场戏); 2005-1-24 (#2091057@0)

They learn when they are "playing". My daughter has a very habit learned from school. Even at home, she's really enjoy reading books and doing working. -jjjjjjj(joyce); 2005-1-24 (#2091077@0)

谢谢，我就担心小朋友长大之后觉得被剥夺了童年。我倒是也认识一个在monterssori从4岁开始读起的小姑娘，现在10岁了，看大部头的书，写长篇大论的日记，而且很enjoy。我还以为是个别现象。只要小朋友enjoy就好啦！ -brookfield(多多妈); 2005-1-24 (#2091712@0)

请问你们说的TMS 是Toronto Montessori School or Town Center Montessori School? 我记得Town Center的是规模最大学费最贵的。 Richmond Hill的是Toronto Montessori School 的一个校区。 -holly(人生本来就是一场戏); 2005-1-24 (#2091388@0)

They are not related. Toronto Montessori School(TMS) is located at 407/Bayview, richmond hill. Richmond Hill Montessori School(RHMS) has two campus in bayview/16th area of richmond hill. -clear(clear); 2005-1-24 {153} (#2091404@0)
Town Center Montessori School has three campus (not sure) in Markham. They are the biggest with the number of enrollment, but not the most expensive one.
Holly，我们说的是toronto monterssori school，在bayview 和hwy 7的那家。 -brookfield(多多妈); 2005-1-24 (#2091713@0)

oops, 没看到clear已经回复了。 -brookfield(多多妈); 2005-1-24 (#2091718@0)
