Hi vfong1,


Did your son start attending playgroup at CS Montessori at 18 months?

Did he cry when he first started? Were you allowed to go into the class with him initially?

Thanks!

He didn't cry on the first day but from 2nd day he cried for about 2 weeks then he was ok. He started at 3 years old.

Heyya sunny,


Welcome to KiasuParents.
Mebbe you could provide some introduction
on yourself @ the Newbies.
http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/index.php

Will be good if you can include child's age too, so other
parents can help you out better with selection of classes.
Different levels have different teachers for every centre.
Mebbe in future you can post Montessori school questions
here in an existing thread.

Nice to meet you too!

Any particular reason

Montessori schools &
not the usual mainstream
centres?

'cos the teachers teach the students according to the ability of the kids which i find it good as my kids might not be able to learn as fast as other kids or, they would be able to learn faster. then, the teachers can guide the kids along the way and help them to progress.

not sure if i interpret their method of teaching correctly.

you have any experience dealing with montessori schools?

Any follow ups on the Sengkang MMI? I am keen on the enrichment playgroup.

Hi dozalot
I'm also keen on sending my son to Sengkang MMI, but more for their half day care playgroup programme.
I called them some time back & they say that I can just come on any weekday (no appointments needed) for a tour of the place, so I was pretty impressed by their confidence of not having to so-call 'prepare' for it.
They only said I'll need to make an appoinment if it's on a Sat.
However, recently, when I wrote an e-mail to enquire more, I didn't get any replies & have yet to receive it.
Tried calling them also, and no one picked up my call.
What made me feel worried was reading all the bad feedback too.
