Jul04, Hello! U interested in yellow wine chicken is it? What homework huh? What PM buds giving? You share with me la… if ok, I go kill the chicken now. Buds very kind sharing whatever she knows and post it in the forum to read. Not for her posting I would able to know so much abt monte.

Yes I read Ykidz provide this parent and child programme, not sure go or not.???
Buds, good day to u! The above u mentioned exist in which CC? Can share pleassssssssss. (if by you I sure go lor no matter how far and price is right)
Sign! Will only have do enrichment for Eng & Maths. Workgroup is a daily programme and very ex.
I went to the centre ya, the lady just blab blab what will be taught and lastly she just said one seat left. Woow all the sales talk and no personal touch at all turned me off
I feel practical & sensorial most cc comes with it as for cultural more or less is just dragonfly touch water??? Geography, history and continents cannot go too in depth, kid still not able grasp right? I’ll some time borrow books from library to intro about weather, life cycle and bugs
Hopes all these will make up for little of monte learning route…. Better than nothing… for pple not having monte nearby house.

Toddles, Hello! can share which cc yr kid go to? I know is east… no way for me to go there lor but just curious and envy u having the right choice.

Hi NataTL


Haha not really homework lah. I don't know much about Montessori, so I asked buds for some books that I can read to learn a bit more. Then I can decide if I want to put my boy into a Montessori pre-nursery/kindy/childcare etc.

I'll pass you the list when she finally replies *HINT HINT* :lol: Then we can trade my list with your yellow chicken :drool: :lol:

You can call YKidz for a trial class. If you don't attend, you'll never know?

Anyway I shd be going for a trial class this Sat at Totsville. I'll come back here & share when I have time

Me huh just came back from my hunt…

Very accademic le this MMI, I go thru their N1,2 K1, 2 worksheets etc. no bad know… How anyone got any comment on MMI bt merah branch but … race 40% singh? But i don’t care lor i prefer ACCADEMIC! Play, Exploration etc etc I’ll do during weekend.

Jul04, Toodles, Buds how le… MindChamp suppose go down yesterday but changed to today and now i like cannot decide…

Jul04, yr bb still small just go any monte which you think can take care well your girl. If not happy still can change ma

[NataTL]

I don’t wanna keep changing schools if I can help it. I find it very unsettling. If possible, I’d like to find a good school & stick to it.

I’m opposite from you. I don’t want a school with lots of worksheets. If I want academic per Singaporean context, I’ll go for Newton. I prefer learning ‘broader’ stuff, that’s why I want Montessori.

So your choice is between MMI & Mindchamps huh?

Buds, your that 'lian da li' swanging left and right a bit disturbing le ... ha ha ha!

I agree! I keep wanting to reach out & 'hop' them in case they snap :rotflmao:

I was reading old threads, CS monte not bad? $1800 per term + 1/2 day super ex hor. No play ground no nothing… This monte I went earlier got one big gym + outdoor play ground. Big area open concept not noisy but am still hesitating about teachers… will need to find out more.

The reason MC was consider b’cos i gonna throw my #2 there, I have no time for him until he reach K1 and like to concentrate on my elder one. And I hope my #2 can pick up whatever from there. This school is bal of both. academic and play as claimed by the in-charge.

Those without worksheet har usually Play thru learn type. I prefer some worksheet so i know what they learning.
When I was hvg my #1, me like him to play & play enjoy his childhood. But luckily he turns out to be love to learn. My elder learnt or know s lot already while he was in N1. So when I place my #2 in another Play thru learn type school, he learn nothing except songs & songs, play & play, story reading. He’s not learning or recognising ABC, Colours, 123. I very panicky. ( cos I compared the elder bro learnt so much and he don’t) Some more my #2 playful type I worried he xing hong hong don’t want to study.
Anyway I’ll not choose play thru learn again. Even though they claim that teacher will watch & observe but most case not. Teacher just left them playing and they do something else. I prefer my kids to prepare attitude for learning then to play. I rather school teach, I supplement. Playing part I am very good already, I can do the job hee hee
