I like the concept of Montessori, I think it would be a good fit.
However, trying to find a Montessori school that actually follows the Montessori philosophy...that's a lot more difficult. A lot the "Montessori" schools around here also focus on academics rather than social. Its the area where we live you know? My friend sends her daughter to a Montessori kindergarten, she was pleased to see it was highly regimented, focused on academics, and her daughter has homework most nights. Grrr.
Waldorf would be good too, but the nearest school is Los Altos. A bit too far to drive. *sigh* More looking in store for me.
