Today Ruth, Soleil, and I went and visited a Montessori school Soleil. It was a very nice visit. Ruth and I had looked at a number of other schools almost a year ago, before we knew that Shore was on the way. We really liked International Montessori, but Soleil was too young.

Now she is old enough, and we had a great time. The school has its own building, and is well shielded from street traffic. The facilities in general are nice, and very kid-oriented; things are at their level, their size, etc.

The school administrator met us at the door and gave us a tour (they do not have school in the Summer). She gave us a tour, all the while letting Soleil play with things. Soleil did a great job of helping put things away when she was done, and was very well behaved.

All in all, it was a good experience. We'll see what happens in the next month or so.
