Hi all,


M daughter's school blends the MOE curriculum and the Montessori approach together. She has a lot of structured worksheets to do, and the class is segragated according to the age groups.

I think the Montessori approach is good but it has to be blended with our local system.

hi kaitlynangelica,

Does MOE registered Montessori school structured with their cirriculum? I'm not sure if the school is.

Hi vfong,

Not sure what your question means. But what my daughter's school does is 2 hours of regular MOE curriculum daily followed by one hour of montessori where mathematics and phonics is blended in.

Where is your child currently attending?

cs montessori.

Oh CS is a good school. My daughter attends the phonics class at BTP. It has been 5 months but she can now read 3 and 4-letter words. What is your concern actually?

For me, I feel that my daughter has made good progress in her current school Faith Montessori.

just concern if he can get used to the MOE cirrculum when he's Pri 1 as he's attending daily montessori class.

I think it should be okay.

If you are concerned, I suggest you send for enrichment at the community centres. There, the class size is big and will give him an indication of what regular school will be like.

Hi there,
Does anyone have any experience or comments with MMI Katong (CHAMPZ SCHOOL HOUSE PTE. LTD). We are moving back to Singapore from Denmark and I'm checking out on day care for my 2 daughters whom is 21mths and 5mths now. The area that I'm looking for is around Amber Road

Are you refering to the one in Katong Shopping Complex? I checked out the place before. Interesting how you can drive up the building all the way up to the roof and just outside the school. Principal is very friendly and professional - knows how to handle kids. Staff are generally friendly but a bit reserved. The place is fully air-conditioned and clean, but could be noisy since it is essentially one big hall with low partitions. Play area is tidy, with the Montessori material clearly labeled and placed in little boxes. I also liked the way the reception area separates the entire place from the outside world, creating a secure buffer.
