Why does the Brooklyn Heights Montessori School want to close the Little Room program?
Precisely why BHMS wants to end its affiliation with the Little Room remains unclear: the school has offered different reasons at different points in time. Parents of children served by the Little Room learned in December 2008 that BHMS was planning to vote on whether to close the program at the end of the 2008-09 school year. Although parents – once they learned of the impending closure vote – were allowed to read (but not have a copy of) a report of a “task force” that had been meeting to discuss the future of the Little Room (the existence of the task force had not previously been made public), that report did not explicitly discuss the immediate closure of the program.
