==Glossary==

; Montessori
: They offer multi-age classrooms encompassing a two or three-year age span with the idea that older children can nurture and be an example to the younger, and all can learn at their own pace rather than be pushed to keep up with all children of the same age. Each group of children stays with the same teacher over several years, forming a strong sense of community, also reinforced by a five days per week schedule. Maria Montessoriâ€™s most profound insight was that young children teach themselves, so classrooms are organized around hands-on, self-directed, developmentally tailored projects and toys. Children are encouraged to focus on and complete the work they begin, with teachers as facilitators rather than instructors. Montessori programs aim to develop self-motivated, curious, and self-disciplined children.

; Waldorf
: Hippy nature.â€¦ places focus on the development of the whole child â€“ the heart, hands, body and imagination as well as the mind. Preschool activities include storytelling, puppetry and creative play; singing and movement; art; cooking; time in nature; and seasonal celebrations. Particular subjects are studied in depth over several weeks. Waldorf schools offer play materials made of natural substances (i.e. wooden toys), and strongly discourage television and computers for young children. Children tend to stay with the same teacher over several years, â€¦ [[http://www.savvysource.com/savvyparent/articles-10192_understanding-preschool-designs Savvy Parenting : Understanding Preschool Designs The Savvy Source for Parents]]
; Paideia
: A recent (1980s) educational philosophy.
