All About Montessori
-
Teachers are just like you and me… A human being who is continuously growing,learning and be wiser with opportunities and support!
The most wonderful part of a successful parent is to be able to work hand-in-hand with teachers and build warmth loving relationship to ensure the child grows, the parent grows and the teacher grows too…
How many times have we made mistakes during our course of work in the office and our superior enlightened us?
How many times have we made mistakes and our child’s teacher enlightened us?
At times, it’s time for us to show our compassion to enlighten our child’s teacher by extending our tender, loving care in return.
All relationships comes in 2 ways with great trust and support.
What goes around, comes around.
I give negative comment instead of support to my child’s teacher, I am sowing a negative seed and what can I expect in return?.. Let’s ponder of this…
It would be a lot more supportive for all of us in the next comment if we were to comment in positive, constructive and supportive way to enhance each other’s personal development to another level…
Should our child’s teacher needed to hear the truth from our compassionate heart, let’s take the courage to share it positively and lovingly with here. Otherwise, the poor teacher has no awareness on what’s to be improved on.
Imagine everyone is talking behind my back instead of creating a supportive and loving awareness to create the opportunity for me to be a better person…
It would be wonderful if we can do that because our child will be looking upon us and our attitude to grow up…
We dont want our kids to talk and do things behind our back, dont we? We would love to have our kids to render trust, kind, loving and supportive relationship with us…
Monkey see, monkey do…
That’s how life works…
Best wishes to everyone… -

Hi Buds
Thanks for your recommendation. Will check it out!
I have also looked at Montessori for CHildren at Newton. Any thoughts on that school? They seem very stricly AMI.
They have a very high children: teacher ratio of 14:1. So it is almost 20+ kids in one room with 2 teachers, one is AMI and the other is Mandarin teacher but not officially Montessori trained. I am wondering if that ratio is too high especially for a Montessori system where teacher observations and response are important. What are your thoughts on that?
Thank you so much fory our help! -
hi all, i'v just registered my 3 yrs old boy in MRC 3Q Junior nursery at Downtown East for a week trial lesson. It seems like a centre focusing a lot on acadmics. The N1 students are already learning how to spell and write from 1 - 10! I really do not know whether my boy will be stressed out.
It's a bit difficult to explain my boy's situation. He can read (certain words only, not in sentence yet), spell and say words, ie name of animals, things, etc like other kids tho' he may yet to pronounce them very clearly. But he simple can't communicate and never really respond to your questions. For eg, when you ask a little kid to drink water, he/she may answer \"don't want\" or \"ok\". But my boy will just be quiet or maybe doesn't even know that is meant to be a question. Simply no respond back from him. It's like throwing a ball onto a wall and it never bounces back. Is that normal for a 3 yrs old? My friends kept assuring me that he's still too young and boys tend to develop slower than girls. Are they rite? My boy is very hardworking. He always studies by himself. In fact, he learns most of the spelling and phonics from a-z all by himself (i always play dvd on phonics for him when i'm busy). Can somebody please advise what i should do or can do?
Anybody has kids studing at MRC 3Q Junior at Downtown East? Or anybody can share with me their experience on MMI (The Learning Curve) at Tampines Mart. I've seen the comment on MMI (The Learning Curve) at Tampines Mart on sgparent.com and there are a whole list of compliments. Is that centre really terrific and fantastic?
Tks in advance. -

Hi,
Is it true that montesorri schools do not decorate the walls with subjects related to the themes covered in the month? The walls are kept clean so that children can concentrate on what they are doing? I visited a school recently and noticed the walls are very bare compared to other preschools that I saw and find it very strange. The above is the explanation given to me. Can someone advise? -

My dd is in a Montessori preschool. They do have some childrens' work on one wall, but overall the walls are kept clean. The materials for the monthly theme are on a movable white board. I thought it's good, less distractions. Some preschools have lots of decorations, even hanging nettings with colourful balloons. Looks vibrant and cheerful, but can be messy too.
