Is it really essential to attend montessori clasees?  

It has become an increasingly popular trend for parents to send their young toddlers to attend expensive enrichment classes and development programmes which promise to bring brillian results for the young ones. Many parents are thus anxious to enrol their children into the best institutions regardless of the fees these schools may charge. From the parents' viewpoint, it is definitely well worth the money their children to such expensive classes as so to allow their children to grasp as much knowledge as possible. But is it really essential that only through attending expensive enrichment classes can the children gain all the knowledge? Or as parents they should spend quality time bonding with their children and at the same time inculcating important moral values to their children just as important to ensure develpoment of their children's fullest potential?
