Eva: Hello my lovelies! Dan and I are looking for a good kindergarten for Tommy, do you know any place you could recommend?
Kate: Hm, my sister’s daughter’s going to the one in Bethnal Green, but I’m not sure it’s such a great place
Nathalie: Leo’s going to the Montessori near our place at Hampstead
Eva: I’ve heard about them, how do you find it?
Nathalie: Leo’s crazy about it, they let him play and learn, and discover everything.
Fiona: I’ve heard about it as well, it’s a whole methodology/system isn’t it? I don’t know how to call it
Nathalie: <file_other>
Nathalie: You can read all about Montessori methods here. Their main goal is to let children discover themselves, their talents, learn and play at the same time.
Eva: The idea seems nice, I’ll read about it
Fiona: But does it work? I sent my kids to a normal, public school and they turned out just fine
Kate: I also think it sounds a bit… elitist to me, I’d rather have my children with the rest of the society
Nathalie: Well, I prefer to give them the best I can and I believe that as long as they’re happy my choice was good
Fiona: I perfectly understand, we’re just exchanging thoughts here Nat ;)
Eva: Yes, especially as we’re on a budget, I’m not sure we can afford a private kindergarten
Kate: Go around and visit them during open days, I did the same when I was looking for my school
