All About Montessori

Hi hi, need some advice please!


My kid is turning 3 next year and I am seriously considering in putting him in bridges Montessori. Cannot find much info on this school… Any comments?

As i am considering going back to work, i intend to put my son in childcare after bridges. Has anyone also made this type of arrangement before?

Schooling is so mind boggling and I m really so lost now.

Any comments?

Hi there...

My boy just turned 2 and I'm 'shopping' around for a suitable preschool... Never knew it could be this mind boggling!!! I don't intend to spend more than $600 a month and I'd like to start him off with 2 - 3 x a week program.
Would really love to hear your experience or take on the nearby schools in the east! Btw, reside in Bedok reservoir area.

Anyone has kids in Ace Montessori or Little Big Creativity? :thankyou:

Apelove.. there were one or two reviews abt Bridges Montessori but gotta comb this Montessori thread to find it! :nailbite: But suffice to say that the feedback(s) were good ones. It helps if you can also go down to recce the place and speak to the ppl in charge of the place. If you like it, bring your child down to the centre with you on your next visit there.

Hi,


Anyone knows of any non-aircon montessori around amk/bishan/serangoon?
DS having sensitive nose. So sad that due to this reason i have to withdraw from his current preschool.

anyone has kids in CS Montessori at Nex Serangoon? I am interested in their phonics enrichment program… is it good?

I am also looking at Montessori phonics as weekend enrichment for my DS2. Can I check how long will an average kid need to go thr' the pink-blue-green scheme before they can independently read a simple book by themselves?


My DS2 is gg 5 but .. sigh :slapshead: still cant read words, despite me reading to him every single night without fail (he enjoys books but most of e time, refused to read aloud).
So I figured must be sth wrong with the way I am \"teaching\" him, ie he def needs a structured program e.g. Montessori phonics or ICR kind of program to give him the correct guidance.

I love the concept of Montessori and could see how much it had helped my DS1 (in terms of his attitude towards learning) when he attended Montessori schools back then but for DS2, due to logistics issues, he prob can only go to Montessori as enrichment for the moment.

TIA!... :rahrah:

Yes buds, my 4 y.o. DD2 is currently in their weekly phonics prog.

Karenjj, not sure if u r familiar wif Montessori phonics. She started in jul tis yr wif e pink scheme and has juz embark on e blue scheme.

Not to paint a rosy picture for u lest u get disappointed. IM actively teaching DD2 at hm wif phonics as well. Thus her progress has been v satisfactory for DH & me. :celebrate: Yes, DH too. He din understand my enthusiam & insistence on a Montessori education till he saw DD2's progress. He is now convinced tat yes, DD2 & in future DS3 will benefit fr a good Montessori program. He is oso convinced tat parents' reinforcement at hm will act as a catalyst in our kids' progress. Of course mummy has 2 put in lots of effort lah.

We slow down e pace of sight reading for her but seems like she can read even better now wif phonics grounding. She is also able to spell 3 letters phonetic words.

At CS Montessori, ey do handwriting practices as well. Her handwriting has made tremendous improvement too. She rarely has mirror image prob compared to my DD1 at e same age.

So far, she has enjoyed her lessons at CS Montessori v much. Nex yr, she'll b joing em 4 e daily lessons instead (mummy is so excited....!!! :siao: ). Reason being we oso wan to expose her to other Montessori areas like Maths, Cultural, Botany, Geography, etc.

Mayb u can share a bit more abt yur DD or DS?
