Hey Buds,


Just want to ask u something. I saw a Montessori grammar apparatus (dunno what u call that), supposedly to teach elementary students grammar. I saw this at a Montessori sch and was quite impressed with the sch that uses it.

Which one issit that you saw?

The Farm Box...

or The Grammar Kit...?

Is this tool widely available in other sch? So far, I didn't see this in some of the schs I visited. So I wonder if this is commonly used. :?

The effectiveness of delivery of the Montessori Method is to really use
all its materials / apparatus for its intended purpose and the variation
exercises that come with them. I cannot say whether it is widely
available or widely used as i did not recce ALL or that many
Montessori centres in Singapore to make a fair judgment.

But yes, a centre should have these as it is a follow up to the Montessori
Phonics programme... to introduce simple grammar skills to the children.

Hope this clarifies. :celebrate:

Thanks Buds! :celebrate:



But I saw these:

The noun, verb symbol. I heard that they are introduced to kids at elementary sch, so that explains why pre schs dun have? That's what I heard from the sch that uses it. :?

I managed to find this interesting article that tries to summarise what Montessori is all about & present it to the layman in as simple a form as possible. Might be worth a read I browsed through quickly & found it really helpful.

Anyone knows any other Montessori sch in serangoon?I have visited some of the good ones but yet to find one that is very good and within my budget. Good ones are out of budget and some which is not what I want is within.

Hi allcc6


I’m not sending him for the weekday drop off programme. I’m just looking for a parent-accompanied weekend class. He’s 18 mths now & I only plan to send him to pre-nursery next year.

Tomorrow’s trial is for playgroup.

I know there's a Lumiere Montessori House @ Wolskel Rd, The Montessori Playroom Kindergarten @ Hougang Central & Singapore Montessori Kindergarten @ Windsor park Rd (which I think you've visited right?).

What's the charges like for Spore Mont Kindy?
