To Montessori or not to Montessori!

When you are a parent of two and half year old and live in Chennai, then hop in! It is going to be one hell of a rocky ride finding the 'best school' for our kids. Only a week ago, I was woken up violently by my anxious wife to go stand in the Q at 5 in the morning. To what? Just to buy the application form for the pre kinder garten. It is one of the popular schools in Chennai, no doubt! However, from what I gather, they follow the traditional Indian teaching methods. Im confused. Having exposed to the Montessori methods of teaching through my wife, I have become a big fan of Montessori. Should I go ahead with this school or look for a montessori school? Again, the dilemma iswhat next? In Chennai, the options are very restricted when it comes to Montessori. First of all there are not many good schools in my neighbourhood that can call themselves truly Montessori. Secondly, there are not many senior Montessori schools in Chennai. What to do after 5 or 6 years in Montessori? I have to send my kid to a traditional school and I will have to go through the same painful search, which I may as well do now itself! Grief!
