hi Mogwai, sorry for only returning to the forum after a whole month.
I am Canadian and so is my boy, but we do not have any connections. He went to Discovery Montessori School in DBay since age 1, but given Montessori kids are a bit more individualistic then main stream kindie kids in general, i had to make sure he learned to listen to the teachers at interviews and follow their instructions. Other then that Montessori is a great way to train up a child and it really tear me apart to withdraw him from DMS.
