All About Montessori

Buds, ya, for you, you send your kids to school mainly for them to socialise cos you can homeschool them on the MOntessori/ knowledge aspects.


Ocean33, i think most church kindy around this area are not childcare centers, so they normally take in from 3 or 4yo.

St Francis of Assisi has 2 kindies in Jurong. One at Boon Lay and the other at Jurong West (near Rulang Pr that area). I can't find their website, not sure if they have, even though I googled.

Whoa… good good… always envious of those who are SAHM…

Thanks for sharing your findings!! I cant bring him go for little house montessori and summer montessori because one needs the kid to be toilet trained (about 36 mths) and the other about 24 months before they can go into the school.

I called and checked out LW @ Hillview. Seems like they do provide transport for kids. Sounds great!! But there are mixed reviews about this school. Have you visited?? If yes, how do you find?

Cant bring my son to MMI JE because my mum got to take bus and bring him there… already contemplating to bring him to the cc (little wings) near my mum’s place so that she doesnt have to take bus.

I heard that of its 2 days monte, it is not very effective because we have to follow throughout like it will be better if it is 5 or 7 days plus we parents got to enhance it. Because there was once I wanted to do a 1 day monte during weekend, it was frown upon because it is not very effective. Is that so?

Yeah.. thats how ppl will remember me.. see.. you will remember my nick.. hahaa..

Yeah.. Thats it!! So.. it is called a doodle board.. now I know.. hahaa.. I agree with you that he is growing up fine.. And I appreciate them alot..

I guess my parents are very anxious that he is unable to catch up with ppl of his age esp his english.. so they are always checking with me most of the time as to when can he start schooling.. I feel that home teaching by them is already good enough.. but well, i guess in order to give them more time for themselves (they have been taking care of him since he was 4 months old).. and also to alleviate their worries about his english, I have started searching 2 months back.. but cant seems to find some schools that has about 80% good comments.. and somewhere that is accessible (i.e. school bus, walking distance or short bus trip etc).

I mean, I have a good caregiver, and i dont want to inconvenience my caregiver, I can put him in a kindy and bring him to some enrichment classes during the weekends.. I dont know.. Too much thoughts going thru and nothing concrete (i am going crazy).. Have already shortlisted some of the schools only 1 montessori, 1 PCF CC, and 1 CC (both CC near my parents and its of walking distance).. and also some CC which is about 2 bus stops away.. like LV, CH @ Chevrons..

I dont know.. HELP!!! I am drowning..

Then just toilet-train him! I did that with my son who was then 26mths' old. He joined in the new school term when he was 29mths' old.

He is only 17.5months now… Planning to let him go a childcare when he is about 18months old… But one of my friend told me that it is better to toilet train them before they go to school…
