Hi AMI,

Which school are you referring to?? I am really concerned if you are talking about the one my l.o. is going right now. Because we don't like it much after the first week of school. Would you please further explain?? or pm me. I became so desperate and concerned about my l.o.

Thank you very much.

I believe her training was not AMI but TMI or St. Nicholaus in this person's case. There are many training courses in London and America and Ireland... only a few training centres are Association Montessori Internationale.

I went to the Steiner Fellowship of United Kingdom website and couldn't find the Highgate on the worldwide list of schools and there seem to be no listing for Hong Kong. How do I ensure the school/teacher are accredited?

Please check out http://www.steinerwaldorf.org.uk/dig...ssue3/lam1.htm
and the school is recognised as Waldorf Kindergarten by the Steiner Fellowship in UK and by the Waldorf International Kindergarten Association - currently 3 people have the full training and other teachers, although qualified in Kindergarten/early years in mainstream undergo weekly in house training. Please come to the talk on 25th October at Helena May by Christopher Clouder, CEO of the European Council for Steiner Education.

Thanks Neha. I too have applied and have been to an intro. Was just wondering what experiences people with children at the school might have had.
