MFC happens to be quite near MIL's place in Toa Payoh. Need school bus though coz it's not walking distance (or hoping FIL will ferry him
To me, distance is very important, compared to travelling just for a pure montessori setup. Not easy to find. As long as comfortable with it, I'm ok. Mixed-age group, not too large, teachers seem competent and kids seem to trust them, the kids look out for each other and engage each other. Nowadays, the charges really not that cheap, huh?

Hiaz... :moneyflies:
[quote]I just took a look at the YKidz website you talked about. Wow, how do they cover all that in 1hour 1x/week???[/quote]They don't cover all that. I think it's 40min Montessori, 5 min art & craft, 5 min circle time, 5 min music & movt, 5 min snack... Logically I think that's all they can do in 1h? Or maybe it's 30min Montessori? :? -
5min to eat snack, 5min to do music, 5 min to do art & craft?

In Parent & Child sessions, parents gotta be mindful that it is impossible
to run longer Montessori time as compared to the weekday sessions. It
is more of an introduction to say one new material/apparatus each wk
so that you'd be yearning to do and learn more the following week.
During the individual mat activity time though, parents can assist the
children with the materials the children select from the shelves. As with
observation during such pgrms... again, the time constraints may not be
able to permit extended observations of the children as again compared
to the daily sessions.
As with potty or nappy, children still undergoing toilet-training may use
the pull-up-pants to avoid accidents until they are much more confident
and can eventually just wear briefs. Go to the toilet before session starts,
to avoid going in the midst of the sessiion. -

Buds ah..... can help me with my above questions about the made in china Montessori things? Or like everything else, it's simply better to get the real stuff??? :roll:
BUDS!!!!!!!!!!! :?: Are there any book like \"Dummy guide to Montessori\"???
Materials - wise, I was surfing those China Taobao website (yeah, really bo-eng) and I saw those Montessori equipment (1 big box)... and the SMH forum does sell as well... Will those suffice? It's around $200++.. Cheap or not? Not the $1000++ jul04 mentioned....
And I was wondering, can I say Montessori is a learning methodology? As such, we are able to teach various other subject matters such as Chinese or any other language, science, etc using this methodology? :roll:
