Recent toddler experience with Growing Light?
We are thinking about starting our soon to be two year old here and I'm wondering if anyone has recent/current experience with their young toddler at Growing Light Montessori in Kensington. It seems great, I'm just worried about our daughter adjusting, being able to nap, eat enough, and have fun and wonder how the environment helps with this.

My daughter was in the toddler room last year, she's now moved up to the older room. I started her at almost two years old and the experience was great. The teachers, Jason and Kathy, are amazing. They helped so much with the transition from nanny care, both for me and my daughter. They are both so nurturing so the adjustment period didn't take too long. She's always been a difficult napper but they somehow have the magic touch (maybe the classroom full of sleepers helps) but to this day she only reliably naps at school. At first I know she cried so someone would hold her in the rocking chair that first week or so until she drifted off. Eating all of her lunch is hit and miss, as it is at home. Some days she eats a lot, other days she seemingly subsists on air. There is lots of playtime and it didn't take long for her to be excited to go to school and see her friends and pushing us out the door to leave. The teachers were also extremely helpful when we started potty training.
