JHS Montessori - 9 Chwee Chian Rd

Definitely a school worth considering as its really difficult to find Kindergartens these days. Most are childcare. Especially if also looking for Montessori. My kid has just started primary school and looking at the syllabus, JHS definitely prepares the kids well so we won’t have a problem in lower primary. We’ve sent our kid to true Montessori before and a concern was the transition to traditional primary school. But JHS manages that very well with balance of Montessori teaching while incorporating the required structure present in traditional schools. Children teacher ratio is perfect and low teacher turnover, strong leadership team. Kudos!

JHS is truly a place that I highly recommend as all our 4 kids have been with JHS, which now only the littlest is there as the elder ones have moved on to Secondary & Primary school stage. The principal, Ms Nicole, and all the teachers are extremely dedicated to make sure the kids are well taken care of and at the same time allow them to learn at their own pace. To add on, with my child's specific dietary requirement due to her severe food allergies, the school had really put in extra efforts to make sure that she was kept away from any scenarios which would risk her condition and JHS had also accommodated for her food very well too. I have never been more at ease with her being in JHS, despite her starting at about 2+ years old, as the teachers all know what and how to react should the worst case happen! Kudos to that Ms. Nicole and team. Lastly JHS to me is a school with heart and love. Principal and teachers there teach with passion and they treat each and every child equally and make them feel right at home. I have never regretted my decision to stick with JHS for all my kids.

An excellent montessori school to be in! The principle Ms Nicole is a passionate veteran of the preschool education and teachers are extremely experienced, patient and caring. They genuinely cares for the kids well being and also creates a school culture that nurtures them with postive life values. Big brand names are great but if you are looking beyond structured curriculum and a school that builds the character of young kids, JHS is worth your consideration! We are very fortunate to have all our 3 kids with JHS. My 2 elder ones are already in primary school with the younger one still with JHS. The school has a well rounded curriculum that prepares kids for the primary school with external enrichment programs like science discovery, speech and drama embedded in part of the curriculum. Thus even without signing up for extra enrichment classes outside, the kids are well prepared for their transition into the local primary schools, not needing us to worry much on their adaptability.

My boy just loves going to JHS everyday. And comes home to tell me how much he enjoyed his day and learnt a lot at school. As he is born in January and was very much ahead of his peers. The previous school couldn’t provide a good environment for him to learn. As JHS is montessori based, his learning will be paced according to his abilities. Personally, I love the environment of the school as it’s very serene and peaceful. The principal and teachers are very passionate about their work. And the principal shared with me that the teachers have been with them for many years.The place is very clean, well sanitised and bright. As we are still going through the pandemic, I feel at ease whenever I drop off my child in the morning. Frankly, I am certain that my child is in good hands. I contemplated for several months before joining JHS as it was a distance away from my place. In fact, I considered over 30 schools before joining JHS. I also visited several schools nearby, nothing came close to JHS. On hindsight, I regretted not joining earlier.

When we moved to Singapore, our little boy was almost 3 years old and quite unsettled with the moving around. He was very clingy to me and had no desire to be around other kids or adults. We did the tour around all the local nurseries, George crying and showing no interest at all. Ms Nicole at JHS seemed to know what to do and had George exploring the shelves and playing with shapes within 5 mins. JHS really seem to focus on each kid and get the best out of them. We are very happy with our little boy being here, so much so, we have decided to not use the free place at an international school and keep him at JHS.

JHS is an amazing school, a small setting in an inspiring and calming temple. The teachers are caring and provide a steady environment for the children, reassuring and nurturing. My son came in as a shy boy and a year later is confidently interacting with his peers in a language which he initially didn't master. Also the bus pick-up and drop-off service tops it off!
