My kids were in Montessori preschools from weeks after birth till they were grade 3 or 4. I'm glad they completed all that before this collection of thieves got into the preschool business.
Parents with young children want all the best things for their kids. If they're like me, they will spend time interviewing care providers and sitting in facilities watching how it all works before ever committing their children to that facility. My kids were infants when they started and well-prepared learners when we moved on to a different school. Trust is earned, especially when kids are involved. I searched from all the options and selected the one that made me, a dad, feel the most welcome in their facility. I made sure they understood that I would be a regular visitor. Then I showed up regularly to take a break from all the rest of the day's bullshit and spend some time with my kids.
Montessori schools and teaching method is effective because kids are encouraged to learn things at their own pace and as they master a subject, to mentor those other students in the class. It helps them develop a sense of responsibility and they take an interest in their classmates. It's too bad this liar and thief Grin and his wife have used the Montessori teaching process as a tool to defraud so many children and their gullible parents, whose gullibility may have been driven by circumstances beyond their control. Some areas do not have reliable inexpensive child care options for preschoolers and parents are willing to take any claims at face value without checking for fear of missing an opportunity to enroll their kids in a place that they can afford.
The fact that the Girns were scamming people for such high tuitions clearly shows that the main goal was to soak people who had few enough options that they were willing to believe the lies they were told.
Of course they move to Texas and crank it all up again. This state is so full of grifters and thieves and, due to the destruction of the educational system, gullible parents who will believe any horseshit without ever checking.

So glad my kids are grown.
