Teacher does not work on the floor with students because of health but this is an essential must for Montessori work. She sits higher than the children in a chair at circle. Circle times lasts longer than 45 minutes the first week of school. The length of these circle times are not developmentally appropriate. The equipment is in poor condition and dirty looking, a quality that is not consistent with montessori philosophy. The lady who owns it and teaches is very likable and seems genuinely nice.
