Q:
At what age does a child typically begin preschool?
My daughter is just 9 months old. However, I've been told that parents begin to look and evaluate preschools even before a child turns a year old. I imagine this varies depending on the number of resources available by location but I'm still shocked by how early this research seems to begin. Any help would be appreciated.

"Montessori is not a system for training children in academic studies; nor is it a label to be put on educational materials. It is a revolutionary method of observing and supporting the natural development of children. Montessori educational practice helps children develop creativity, problem solving, critical thinking and time-management skills, to contribute to society and the environment, and to become fulfilled persons in their particular time and place on Earth. The basis of Montessori practice in the classroom is respected individual choice of research and work, and uninterrupted concentration rather than group lessons led by an adult. Group lessons are seldom found in a Montessori classroom, but learning abounds. As you read through these pages you will discover the unique practices that make Montessori the fastest growing and most successful method of education today. "
