Does Small World (SWCK) use Montessori methods?

I just withdrew my daughter from Woodland Montessori after being in their playgroup for 6 months.  I'm really uncomfortable with the way how a certain activity could be carried out in just one single way, i.e. stifling a child's imagination as many have so criticized.   And, not to mention all those colouring activities!  

I'm interested in Small World for their Christian teaching but am wondering if they use Montessori methods as well?  

Any experience from Small World parents?  Thanks a lot.

I don't think SWCK is using any specific Montessori.

As a parent, what I can share with you is that the principal, teachers and even administrative staff are all very friendly and caring.  I guess the Christian belief really means a lot in this kinder.  I can "breathe"  the love and care they devote to the kids.   

I keep saying to my husband that picking up SWCK for our younger son shows how smart I am!

I'm also considering letting my kid joining Small World.  May I ask if there's any PM parents can share their experience? Will there be less kids in a class for PM session?  Any school bus service from Northpoint to the school? Thanks a lot!
