[Changi/Pasir Ris/Tampines/Simei] Preschools

[cmm]

My friend sends her kids to MMI at Elias Road. Seems that this childcare is quite popular and vacancies are few. If I didn't remember wrongly, the principal's name is Alice.

Anyone heard of Character Montessori, Pasir Ris ?


Understand that they used to be great but some incident happen early this year. Wonder if the issue has been solved ? Have they gone back to their previous ggod and loving school ?

Not sure what is their fees structure like. Can anyone give some comments ?

It's new so I guess all facilities will be brand new and \"germs free\" (LOL)
Maybe you would like to check it out. I can give u the tel no if you need it.

Thanks for yr info.
Prefer somewhere around blk 500 plus

Hi,

Dont go to MMI Pasir Ris. Cos my son is there for 2 years and i'm transfering him out from there becos his English teacher (name start with an S) has accidentally given him medicine which belong to another child. It is not a small matter. I'm dissapointed with the school and his teacher.

it seems like we have very little options in tampines.


i did a booking for josiah montessori.. but i'm a little hesitant.. but it seems like its the best i can find last minute.

i'm looking at half-day playschool options around simei/tampines, preferably more play-based. did you go for josiah in the end? any comments?

When I visited and spoke to the teachers, it seemed that it was more learning through play than say PCF schools.

And I suppose montessori methods are more individualised and not stressful or rote, each kid can go at his or her own pace...

So am considering Josiah as well. Convenience of location is another major factor for me. hope this helps.

The fees are a little too costly too me too.

I've just enrolled my kids (4yrs and 2yrs) at the Little Skool House. Newly open at the Tampines Jucttion Building. Environment is nice, new and bright but not too sure abt the teaching though cos really new sch. Teachers are nice and friendly too.

Like what toddles said, convenient is important so that's why i put them there.
