Went to see a local montessori with dd, who was two yesterday and really, really keen to spend time with other little girls socially. I arrived a bit early as dd was desperate to try out her new pink bike with parent handle! So arrive, another parent lets me in so staff don't know I'm there (that doesn't bother me btw) but I can hear the children in the next room who seem rather quiet, and then I hear a nursery worker hissing, 'I have had enough of you. I don't have any patience with you today'. Bear in mind this is about 9.20am! Then I put my head around the corner and someone greets me without smiling and takes me to the office. I then get a tour of the room for 2-3 year olds, the deputy manager says, 'We have been working on Me, Myself and I this week, and he children have been colouring in parts of the body' She indicates a large display on the wall of eyes and noses etc with the usual random scribble, only the display is labelled, in large letters, 'Parts of Our BODYS'
The nursery is right next door to ds's school, I fancied a Montessori and dd seemed to like one of the nursery workers and drew a 'picture' quite happily while I looked around but.... this just seemed a big crap to me! Not sure what to do. She is very happy with the lovely au pair who comes round two days a week to play with her and take her out but she seems hungry for the company of other children...
