Can anyone tell me if Big City Montessori on Industrial in San
Francisco is a good school? I would like to know before I give
them my deposit of $875.00.

my daughter has been going to big city since she was 2 (about
10 months now) and it's been really great. my daughter is shy
and the toddler teachers are very accomodating to her
personality. they are encouraging without being insistent. the
whole atmosphere is great for the development of little
personalities. even though there are lots of kids there (100
total, I think), there is a lot of respect for personal space
and it doesn't feel chaotic at all. I also like that they
aren't so strict about being completely montessori like some
schools I've seen - while they do use montessori methods & toys
in the classroom, they also have ''regular'' toys and a cute
playground for before & after class. the approach to montessori
should evolve with time, don't you think? the quality of the
food was an issue the parents had for a while, ! but it's made
fresh everyday and they get lots of fruit for snacks. but they
do get white bread and mac and cheese. we are dreading having
to move her to to a school in berkeley now that we have moved
from bernal heights. She still commutes with me to the city
while we get that all sorted out, but sometimes I think it
would be better to keep her there since she's thriving.

For a SF Montessori school, look into Big City Montessori. It's
on Bay Shore. We looked at it and almost chose it, but for some
logistic issues for us. It's been run by the same family for
several years and they have a great faclility.
