Hi,

Are any of your kids enrolled in CS Montessori at Tiong Bahru Plaza or Brighton Montessori at River Valley? Or Little SkoolHouse on the hill (SGH)

Any comments abt the school, environment, teachers and cost? Thanks!

I came across 1 in Tiong Bahru Plaza. The name is CS Montessori Learning Centre. Website is http://www.cs-montessori.com


But I'm not sure how it is. I am also looking for preschool around Jalan Bt Merah/Tiong Bahru area.

Blueydoo,

My gal does phonics at CS Montessori at the Bukit Timah Plaza branch. I found it quite good. After 4 months, she can read 3-letter and 4-letter words. In fact, I felt that their curriculum is better than the school that she currently attends but she is only willing to switch.

Only thing is you must still pay during the June and December holidays and if you want the holiday programme, fees are on-top of that.

Hi Kaitylynnangelica,


U mean your daughter is unwilling to switch schools? Which school is she studying in now? But I find CS quite ex.

I enquired about their playgroup. If it is 3 x a week for 2 hours each time, it is $900. So I’m still considering. The other thing is they don’t have a morning playgroup.

Oh yes..................my gal unwilling to switch schools. She is now in Faith Montessori and I am paying $575 a month. 3 times a week is $425 a month. But they also organise holiday programmes for her. I also felt it was better value for money than CS. She has 1 hr of chinese, 1 hr of English and 1 hr of Montesesori which teaches maths and phonics everyday. Another one hr is snack time and outdoor play.

[Blueydoo]

Thats quite reasonable. May I ask where is Faith Montessori? How many hours is the 3x per week?

To me Faith is very expensive but I think it is more reasonable than CS. There are 3 Faith locations, Dunearn Road, Hillview and Mt Sinai off Holland Road.

Have you tried Superland Montessori in Ganges Avenue?
