Do you have any info on the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd?

[ChrisC]

Is the Catechesis of the Good Shepard a program compatible with the Catholic Faith? A web site that that I googled about this program said The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is the result of a long period of careful observation of children by Sofia Cavalletti and her Montessori collaborator, Gianna Gobbi, in Rome. My daughter has asked me what I know about this program. I guess she is considering it for her children. The little I have read about give me the feeling that it is not specifically Catholic but rather Christian in general. Any information offered will be appreciated.

Thanks

Dear Chris,

It appears to be orthodox, although it is open to Anglican membership as well. Here are some comments on the program:
