The Little Cheng Mommy:

Hi all mommies, anyone with their precious little darlings currently enrolled in the classes at CS Montessori (Tiong Bahru Plaza)? Can you please share with me how's the classes like as I'm considering sending my son there next year. Thank you! [/b]

Yes, my boy is currently schooling there. You can drop me a pm too.

hi little Cheng mummy,


I’ve tried reply you via pm but couldn’t.

My boy is now 4 years old and he started with CS 1 year 2 months ago. He attends the daily classes from Mon-Fri and is now in Workgroup.

So far he likes the classes and he is learning his a-z basic phonics. For maths, he is learning his adidtions.

I'm new here & really need help as I've just moved house to tampines. I've a son 5 1/2 yrs old and need to go on full day care. Anyone knows if there's any MMI in tampines / simei area? I need those that offers full day.

There's one MMI at Tampines Mart, but i do not think the centre offers
childcare services.

Centre is on at a good pace, vfong1.

Hi, really appreciate all the replies & inputs


I visited the centre on Tuesday and really have a good impression of the place and the lady (Yvonne) patiently explained to me the program details.
However, I still do have doubts in what my son could learn in that short 1.5 hrs/week session. Maybe I'll just get a Montessori book and have these activities with him at home?? However, I'll definitely be enrolling him in Kindermusik next year :lol:

Hi all.


I'm new to this forum as well as the world of local child care.

We like the Montessori approach and are thinking of sending our boy to a Montessori playgroup in AMK/Thomson area.

Does anyone have any comments or personal experience with Greentree and Character Montessori (AMK)? Especially the latter, someone has asked earlier and there has been no response so far.

Buds,
Your contributions on the Montessori approach. How nice of you to spend time and effort informing others. Kudos to you!

My son is from Brighton Montessori at Fort road since he is 18 months. He is now 5 years old in K1. I think he is progressing very well in this school.

Will put my daughter in this sept when she is 18 months.

Bud, any comments on Brighton?

Heyya smiles, it's my pleasure.

Heyya shirleyfong, generally what i hear about

Brighton is that the main directresses are the
ang-mohs and our locals only the assisting
teachers. Since your child is attending
Brighton, you would be the best person
to share with us many things about the
school?

I have not personally sent my kiddies there,
nor have i friends who have sent them there
either. I'm a westie. Hence am not the best
person to comment on this centre in particular.
No personal experiences to share.
