I have a ex client of mine who sent her girl to MMI Raffles Place. She said it is good in terms of menu. They even provide dinner for the children when parents are working late. The centre is open till 7.30pm which not many childcare in spore are.

Hi,


MMI weekend phonics at Kee Sun Road (Further a bit from Marine Parade)


My son-4yo learns phonics at MMI Kee Sun Road weekly . Just want to feedback that the teachers are nice and people oriented.

Mommies must be willing to revise with kids at home as there is homework.

This is an kindergarten. Old premise. But this does not stop me sending my kids there as this is not priority.

It cost average $130 per month with 1 teacher to 2-3 children. Smaller group.

Hi, would like to have some opinions. To lessen my MIL’s burden, I am considering sending my son to CS Motesorri playgp (2 hrs, 3 times a week) when he turns 18 months old. I plan to let him stay there and then transfer him to a ‘standard’ CC (non-Montessori base) when he turns 4. My reason is due to high class fees and I want my son to be exposed to a school setting that’s similar to Pri 1 (kiasu).


My concern is, is 18 mths too young to start Montessori lessons or should I wait till he’s older? And will there be any problem when I switch him from this Montessori classes to a school that uses conventional teaching method?

Looking for Montessori Sch ard SengKang/ Hougang/ Punggol.


Any feedback on Bridges Montessori Kindergarten at Punggol 17th Ave?

Visited the centre & impressed with the extensive & organised manipulatives/ materials, open & natural ventilated environment.

Students are well-mannered & handled well by the teachers.
The head directress is trained in AMI, not many i heard for SG Montessori schools. She didnt do much publicity hence not many parents heard of the sch.

Optional enrichment classes for kindy students include Chinese/ English Speech & drama (by Lorna Whiston teachers), Art (by NAFA teacher), Gymnastic etc.

Hope to hear from parents whose children is attending now, as they mentioned that they got students from Pasir Ris, Serangoon & even AMK.

Been to Shekinah Monte at Punggol Plaza but as it is located within a mall-fully air-con with no outdoor play facilites & the classrooms sizes
are tiny (my girl cannot stand staying in a small room - likely claustrophobic), will give it a miss.

Amazing Star Monte in SengKang not full monte- only for Pre-nursery & Nusery. Kindergarten level onwards no Monte time.
Also small classrooms (bedroom sizes) within a 3-storey bungalow with staircases which i feel can be very accident prone. Materials old & worn out.
Computer classes provided from N1 but not comfy with TV set right at the main entrance for watching while waiting for parents’ pick up in the evenings.
Taken over from Gingerbread schoolhouse recently.

MMI SengKang got many poor reviews on teachers & delivery of services. Monte time is abused as free time for students/ teachers to do things on their own.

Pls share your feedback for monte schools at NE side. Thks
