We may have found a new nursery school for 2yo. 

Montessori, super calm atmosphere, outdoor play.

A bit of a commute and more work making lunches than currently, but damn I think this is probably the way to go.

can believe it. it depends on the person and the quality varies wildly

did they have a good time in preschool?

we did the montessori for one of ours during preschool and then for a few years into grade school, then switched her to a standard school.    

i think our montessori either wasn't mature enough to appropriately teach a grade school age (or our daughter wasn't right for it).
