Rozita W.. · Working mom · 5-year-old
Sent my eldest to a strict KSPK kindy to survive SJKC standard one. The homework is heavy, but she reads fluently now.
Montessori30% moms chose this path
Child-led exploration using specialised materials to foster independence and practical life skills.
Suits Moms who value independent learning and hands-on activities over traditional rote memorisation. Your child will learn at their own pace, pouring water and tracing letters.

Gayatiri S.. · First-time mom · 4-year-old
He loves the practical life stations and is so independent at home now. Just don't expect them to write perfectly by age five.
Play-based15% moms chose this path
Learning through guided play, social interaction, and creative exploration without rigid testing.
Suits Moms who prioritise social skills and emotional regulation during the early childhood years. The environment is messy and fun, though academic progress might seem slower.

Switched from a traditional preschool because my son was stressed. He is much happier now, though I worry slightly about primary one prep.
