A montessori school stresses independence from a very early age so if he had been going there all along they would have pushed the training much earlier. Does the child wear an actual diaper or a pullup. I can see where there would be issues with a diaper if they are not set up in that classroom to change diapers. Having a pullup on "just in case" should not be an issue as child will go the bathroom and take a turn like everyone else pulling pants up and down as needed.
She may have to move the child to an actual daycare centre that comes under the rules whereas a montessor is considered a private school with a daycare component so may not have to accept untrained kids in preschool meaning child either stays in the age group below or gets trained quickly.
It may also be that they are lumping some things together and thinking if child grows up in one area that they may grow up in other areas too and better fit with the program. She probably should have found out some of those things before starting the child and likely they are in the package of info. I am inclined to think that montessori because of their philosphy will be able to enforce their independence rules.
