The Little House (Montessori)

We found The Little House Montessori after my girl’s preschool closed down. I am impressed with Ms Katherine’s beliefs and way of running the school. She conducts regular parents coffee sessions to share and discuss on various topics on our kids’ education and behaviors. I also experienced first-hand, her quick diagnosis and suggestions whenever we sought her advice throughout my kid’s journey in TLH. Even though I’m not a first time parent, I must say I learnt a lot from Ms Katherine and her strong team. Very impressed with the low turnover rate of the teachers and the love and dedication that the teachers showered on the kids. Out of all my kids, the one who attends TLH is most willing to try to speak Mandarin at home, thanks to the school’s way of learning. There is a lot of emphasis on parents and school mutual support which I believe is necessary in educating a child. My kid is already saying that she wants to go back to her school as and when she can when she’s in primary school next year as she misses her teachers and friends! Thank you TLH.

A good learning environment and teachers' teaching are very important. Like many parents, I took my child to a few kindergarten to take a look. Only this kindergarten is different from the others as soon as you step in. Its educational policy and philosophy are different from other schools. The principal is the founder of this school. She supervises students and teachers in the school every day. She knows the operation of the school very well and is very strict about everything, which is also part of why I like this kindergarten. She is very experienced. When you don't know how to help your child, just approach her and she will be happy to guide you. Her teaching methods are very effective. My child looking forward to school every day.

I have experiences of 9 preschools, and this is a unique one, separating itself from the rest. I agreed with Katherine children philosophy generally, but the culture will be thrown into confusion when kids enter rather rigid Singapore primary school system. Most preschools dislike outings yet this school is able to organize around 12 outings a year, illustrating the effort over comfort. There are still some cons but this school scores the highest in overall reviews of the 9 preschools.
