hi postpet,


your child very young.

best time to read lots of storybooks to him. Bring him to National library often. Choose those storybooks that got a large colorful picture printed in the centre, with bare minimal words. At this age, they like to see big, colorful, attractive, funny looking pictures!

best time to enjoy your parenting hood with him!

at kindergarten level, personally i feel that Montessori Maths the actual touching and feeling of concrete material to understand abstract concepts - is crucial towards helping your child acquire the understanding and build a strong foundation from P1 Maths onwards:-

just replied you.

parents with more than one child - to save on enrichment costs, and yet at the same time wish to expose your child to Montessori Maths concepts, to help your children prepare & acquire a good, strong, fundamental foundation for P1 to P3 Maths, may consider attending a parents workshop coming up in July, for Montessori Maths.
