DD (3 1/2) is currently at a montessori nursery. It only opened last year, so only has 12 on a busy day and DD is the oldest, the youngest being just 2. Last week i was talking with another mum, who said that most of the older children woule be leaving and starting a pre-school / nursery in Sept. I had been offered a place at the nursery attached to a local school, but turned it down as DD was very happy where she was. The place is still available, but talking to the staff at montessori, they feel she would be better staying there.
I am not worried about her education really as she is still young, but i am getting increasingly concerned about her socail skills - she loves adult attention, but takes ages to warm to other kids.
I guess i am asking is it better to keep her where it is all cosy and nice and happy, or force her into mixing with other children?
ARGHHH! Why is it so hard!?
P.S. DD is going through an odd phase and cries every time i take her to montessori
P.P.S. The nursery she will go to is attched to a school which is due to amalgamate with another one next september
