oic, so yr daughter is the new girl! My son is Samuel, he kept telling me that there's a new girl named Beatrice in his class and she takes school bus...kekeke...such coincidence!
According to Ms Cindy this class is very well behaved so not to worry. They're all very close with each other, my son likes his classmates very much and enjoy the school alot.

My boy only started in Apr this year(term 2), I personally like this school very much. I like the non-aircon environment, the teachers practice very strict pre-caution on HFMD too.
This school is quite a small set up and ratio of teacher is 12 students to 2 teachers. So everyone can still get quite a good attention from the teachers. But due to the small scale, there won't be any sports day or parties that parents can participate lor....
I'm a great fan of montessori but to be frank,traditional montessori methods is not acceptable in pri schools lor,like a traditional montessori in England, a child can choose not to finish his worksheet if he don't feel like doing, if he wish to play with toys only, he'll be granted! heehee...
Aiya, in s'pore pri schools how can? Plus if too montessori, a child will also become self-centered and lacks team work so since this school is only partial montessori, so I decided to give it a try lor.
They teach systematic and school rules but yet they also allow each student to learn at their own pace. School work wise, they're quite advance, like now at K1, they're learning addition for 2 digits.I can also see lots of improvement on my son's acadamic especially in spelling.The teachers are rather strict but I feel that it's a good method to teach them to behave while in school cos in primary school, it'll be like that too so it's good to get used to this type of environment. They also encourage independence alot.
However, due to their teaching methods, I feel it's more suitable for older kids to adapt. Like my daughter, I'll also let her attend only after she turned 2.5yrs old, at least by then she could tell me about school.
For early childhood, my fav school is still Julia Gabriel, my daughter is currently attending the playclub at forum.
Maybe you could arrange for a tour at the school with Ms Florence first to find out more...
Btw, I don't get any commission with these 2 schools hor....only stating my views la...hahaha...
