Hi hi.. I have 4 kids, 11yrs, 10yrs, 5yrs & 2.5yrs and i did alot of experiments :lol: !


The first 2 went to MMI kindergarten in Siglap (IT'S THE BEST MMI.. Trust me! coz i heard alot abt the rest esp Kovan coz I've a cousin who used to worked there and i heard stories..) At Siglap, the teachers are VERY Caring , young and speak GOOD ENGLISH!. Went Violin but drop.. Piano too drop (realised he's not musically inclined). Joined Soccer with Arsenal Soccer League at 5 and now has gone to Bangkok, Hong Kong & Malaysia in Junior Tournaments and representing school.

The 2nd went to MMI and switch to Kinderland and back to MMI because Kinderland class is more classroom based. MMI teaches the MONTESSORI WAY (if you have no objection) and progress base on individual child. Loads of hands on work and project vs classroom and whiteboard atKinderland (Marine Parade). Went Ballet & PIano & Tennis but drop. I guess girls are frickle minded..

The 3rd joined PAP in N2 & this year we enrolled in Phonics by PAP too.. Superb progress within 2 months she could read!!. Kumon for maths and english.. SUPERB PROGRESS.. Doing additional up xx + 8 before 2nd term in K1. Not in any other activities but she's happy w assessment books and reading. So we leave it and nurture her with books..

I conclude that we need not necessarily go to private and costly schools, do have a peep at our local PAP. PAP at Still Road is custom build like landed/banglow style offering good program with good facilities..

:)) have fun w ur sch hunting

Hi Kiasu Parents,

Anyone with experience with Kinderland@SP? Mind sharing feedback… Thank you!

No particular comments on kinderland@SP. I previously send my son to kinderland, but after 1 year decided to change him to Montessori based Kindergarten instead as I find that Kinderland teaches very basic stuff compared to what Montessori teaches.


But the fee is much higher at Montessori based kindergarten.

hi Phantom,


My boy is now studying at Montessori based preschool. How old is your kid? Has he started phonics?

Currently he is still in the playgroup and he learns a lot of vocab from the school which is good and it will help him to learn Phonics later on.

My boy is 4 1/2 years old. He is currently in the nursery enrichment program. Yes, he started phonics already.

I am particularly impressed with the way Chinese is taught, after just two month, my son can recite Tang poem, write his Chinese name. These which I have tried but failed previously to teach him.

The thing about this Tulip Montessori is that the class consist of kid from 3 to 6 years old having lesson together, that do teaches him some amount of social skills and taking care of each other and been independent.

The more important thing is he enjoys going to school now :lol:
