Hi Smurf


Okok.. because of ur keen-ness, i go map.gov.sg to find the exact location agar agar and i found this link!!!

http://singapore.locanto.sg/ID_113424637/OPEN-HOUSE-ON-12th-MARCH-2011-T-UNITED-WORLD-EDUCATION-GROUP.html

It is called T-United World Education? Strange.. no montessori is mentioned in the sch name! No wonder i google like mad and i cannot find it! But it is not accessible for those wif no car lo...

Hi Smurf and Pinkapple, ermm.. i cannot recall the name leh! I try to google it bt alas.. oso cannot find! I hope they will put mailer in my mailbox next time!! Sorry leh


But Pinkapple, i share the same views on the lacking of supervision which results in mishap in sch tat i dun want to elaborate here. There are too many new teachers (which i have no idea how committed they are) and most of them look quite 'spaced-out'.

Based on the current situation, i am not confident to see through my kids over the K1/K2 stage actually. Have u seen their K2 works so far for a guage?

The only thing i like abt the sch is there is no TV! Kids are encouraged to play with toys or read books while waiting for parents to fetch them.

Hi Smurf! Ermm... We are paying $610 after subsidy which includes Kindermusic class. It is not exactly ex as compared to the atas sch but comparing with MFS at $300+, it is almost twice more ex. Actually i am quite ok with the sch until recently, we went for an open house in a montessori sch (not exactly near bishan but off CTE near those bungalow) and upon comparing, i realized that eh, i dun see it in UM and yet the price difference is a mere $50?


That sch has PERSONALIZED tracking of the child progress in montessori programme. I even saw the principal showed me how the teachers keep track whether KID A or B has mastered the alphabet or the montessori toolbox tat is categorized by color. And for Nursery size, it has a class size of less than 10? For UM, there are 30+ students and i ever posed the qn how many Montessori trained teachers they have and they 'prata' the reply by not telling me specifically how many but eleborating they have OTJ training by the Trained montessori teachers. But from my understanding (wich may be wrong), i think probably only 20% are Montessori trained? But the reason why we din switch to that sch is because TOO FAR from home as we do not have a car. I have asked UM whether do they have such tracking on students progress, they told me nope but they are working on it for something similiar (which i am still waiting)

Ladylove, go and make an appt! The sch is very nice in appearance. I love the spacious feel. It is a very lively place which we like it as well. You can either talk to Maggie or Dennis but Dennis will be a more PR oriented which will give you PR answers

But having said all that, it is hard to find a perfect school esp within walking distance from home. Arghh...

Trying to ‘revive’ the thread


Currently, i am with United Montessori. But i am still on the search of a better CCC cos not beri pleased with the current sch. There is an influx of new teachers. Moreover, not all teachers are montessori certified and i am not that ‘pleased’ that i am paying a premium price for teachers that is not montessori trained.

Am consnidering My First Skool but not sure whether is it good or not.

Heard some -ve reviews on Hampton. The environment is nice but i find it too enclosed. No idea what is going on in class! MFS concept willl be non-aircon concept, so willl be able to ‘view’ how the class is conducted.

Hope more parents will share more views of CCC in bishan area!

I am also considering transferring my son to MFS @ Bishan St 13 once it is open. I am attracted by the sch fees! It is 50% cheaper than the current sch.


But there is a risk that it will be a bunch of new teachers and principal. not sure how 'devoted' they are until we are in it.

For existing parents, issit true that there a handful of YOUNG teachers?

And do they have take-home material at the end of one month to update parents what has been taught?

Any parents has kid tat is now @ K2 level. Do u think ur kid is prep enuff for Pr1?
