:thankyou: Basha for sharing.


charlie brown, yes, the Summer Principal has been so far very prompt in replying me too. But it does seem like they are very full as I see new kids every week.

Hi Basha, how much are they charging you for transport? I m staying in J.East. Tykes quoted me their price for 5x/week class but not 3x. So it ll be great if u can help clarify my qns above. You have been very helpful!

Hi sherinaduncan,


I can’t start first coz my son is now down with a running nose. Might have to wait for a while.

Hihi, 3x a wk will be $350 & 4x is $450. I'm looking at 5x a wk but since currently now it's a small grp (only 3 kids), was advised that 3x a wk is sufficient (as per mentioned in my earlier thread abt the sufficient approach that the kids are getting).
As for transport, mine is $250 since i'mresiding @ Bkt Panjang which isquite a distance but i believed for dos nearer will be much cheaper say abt $100+..u can call up the school to help in getting the cost. They are really helpful in answering all queries & doubts..

Hi basha,

The transport fee at $250? Total up with the school fee will be $700! Is really on a high side! I would rather use the transport fee to send my child to a establish school which nearby my place or for extra enrichment class. This is just my own opinion.

[charlie_brown]

Thanks Basha for the reply! But I agree with Dec that it is way too exp with transport fees for a playgroup…


sherinaduncan: PM you already.

Hi mummies,dont be surprised if i were to say the previous sch that my son went cost me 600bux per mth! Well it’s an estbalished sch too but the reason for the switch is coz there’s no transport and i hv to make own transport arrangements when he was there for a yr…to me as long as the curriculum & teachers are what i’m looking for,i dont mind paying such amt for my boy. Montessori approach does make "wonders" from what i can see inmy boy when he 1st started off knowing nuts but now since he was just 2yrs+ he can speak in gd sentences (making me wonder how hedoes that at his age).

But,it’s all up to individuals on this part whether to send or not…cheers!!

agree that $250 is costly.


pinkitty, after you go for the trial can you do a review?

i have no time to go for trial but am curious. that venue used to have another montessori school too. now changed hands so want to see how it's like now.

:thankyou:!
