Absolutely considered it. It was a kind of school type I used to mock when I was younger. I viewed it as a stupid hippie school. Only after having kids did I realize how prejudice and narrow minded I had been. I am very focused on science and mathematics myself. I view those as some of the most important subjects. That give me some reluctance towards Montessori as they seem very focused on the arts. I like a lot of the philosophy of Montessori, but I supposed I would want more play centered around developing logical and scientific thinking. But I say this as someone who knows minimal about Montessori. Here are some examples of what I would have liked to see more of: We play a bunch of board games at home, and I have seen the kids get to practice a lot of math playing these games. Just exchanging money and adding dice numbers practice a lot of arithmetic. You can see they enjoy this much more than doing exactly the same calculations on paper without any context. I think a lot of early year education in e.g. mathematics could utilize board games more actively.
