I have been getting more and more very  young children – a 2.5 month old this fall for example!  If the child is under 18 months old and is a sibling, they are free.  I do this because so many parents have a hard time justifying the cost for a preverbal child.  For children under 18 months that are the only or oldest child, I charge half price tuition.  It seems to work.

I would LOVE to have a babies only class and shorten the time and skip the craft, etc.  But I’m a bit torn because I can see how the babies are watchers and really get a lot from observing the older kids play.

I just might have enough babies, if we can get our schedules to work together, to do a babies only class in the Spring, but I hesitate because I see the advantage of the Montesorri style mixed age class.

What do you think?
