I think montessori is great....but I also think other methods are great. I kinda have a mix of reggio, montessori and follow many theorists views of DAP.....Erikson, Vygotsky, Piaget, Maslow.....a little mix of everything that results in a method that is all my own. I think every provider needs to do what works for them and their children..... we are ALL different, and that's okay
