Preschool

My son is learning to count and recognise numbers. I have found excellent websites for learning to read, but have drawn a blank for sites which tackle this early stage of maths. There are plenty for slightly later on. Any suggestions? (He is not interested in worksheets, so online games only please - thanks)

We are leaning towards putting our children in montessori schooling.
How did this work for you? Is it worth the outragous price tag? All the research we've done tells us these kids are so much more advanced and well adjusted than public school children, but this could all be sneaky advertising, as far as we know. I'd really appreciate any personal stories or opinions on this form of education.
Please only answer this question if you have tried this method or personally know someone that has.

I have to make a board game for my final exam in one of my classes. And it has to be made so that preschoolers can play it (seriously). It's for an early-childhood education class and the assignment is to make a board game for the preschoolers to play. Any ideas? Please help me on this one...I have NO clue what to do.

Is there a limit of how much they will pay a nursery per session? Can you go to a really expensive one and get it paid for?

My 5 year old daughter has taken some time to settle into school from January, she was at another Nuresery and is struggling to make friends even though she is comfortable with her own company, one of her main issues are going to the toilet alone, especially if it is dirty, and will not eat the packed lunch that I provide but will eat school fruits and snacks in the afternoon, she is a fussy eater and thought that if I put things in her lunch that she likes it would help, any suggestions would help.

I would love fresh ideas of resources I could purchase for my nursery group.
We have the usual puzzles, constuction etc. I have a budget of £200 & running out of ideas. I would like as many resources I can get rather than one big item.
I want to promote a fun environment opposed to a learning environment as we all know children learn through play.
Any ideas???

My son and I have gone through a big transation in the last 6 months, moving in with my mom, out of the area where he was close to his father, and I have returned to school full time. He is at a new school and has transitioned well, except for the teacher says she thinks he has ADHD because he has a problem sitting still during certain portions of the day. He loves to sit and read books, do music time, and their dance class, but sometimes wants to run around when he's supposed to be sitting. He has been at this new school for about 3 months now, and I think he's just settling into his new environemnt, testing the waters as kids to. He is 5, and will be in Kindergarten next year, so is it too early to diagnose him with ADHD, and is medication the answer now, or would it be better to wait?

Actually, he will be 4 in a month.

He is so SMART!! A real wiz with puzzles, blocks, patterns... he even does simple math problems. But he cannot hold a pencil or crayon. It's not quite like a baby fist grip- he positions his hand almost like a claw and can't bear any pressure on the writing tip.

His fine motor skills are otherwise excellent. He can string beads and manipulate tiny objects.

I've heard that boys take longer than girls to master this, but it seems that by almost 4 years old, he ought to be a little closer.
