Today noon, we started out to take Ash to Faith International, the school he was supposed to join for pre-KG or LKG, depending on the principal's evaluation. But as we headed out, we decided, on a whim, to check out the new montessori that has come up next door - V hadnt seen it, only I had dropped in once. They showed us the montessori materials and play gear. We still werent sure whether we wanted to put Ash there though the proximity of the school was tempting.
I let V decide - and he finally decided for it.
For one, it is near and even the watchman can pick and drop. Faith is pretty far and Ash has to be ready by 8 am to catch the school van. Right now, he doesnt wake up before 8 am. It will work out cheaper too. And third, we can pull him out and put him in a regular, big school next year.
The school opens on June 11. The mont is likely to put Ash in pre-school only, not LKG.
The guy who runs it is a speech therapist, and we'd like him to evaluate Ash too at some point. Ash still cant form sentences, he is just about using words and most of them in Malayalam. He can however ask, "Ithenna? (What's this)" to the point of driving me crazy.
Some of his special new words are Tee (for TV), Mumma (water!), bamu (balloon) and papu (pashu/cow).

While kids start public school at age 5 in Canada, many (indeed most) children go to some sort of pre-school program for at least a few months or a year.
