Great to hear. From what I know of the "method" it's pretty true to real life, and focuses on kids largely leading themselves and following their own interests, which is exactly how it should be.
Exactly so. The role of the teacher is to be a coach or guide who lets the child follow his or her own play learning. Manipulatives help reinforce letters, numbers, colors and so on, and activities are designed to reinforce learning and encourage exploration.
