It’s been 6 years with Brainy Child since my daughter till my son graduated. Our child has truly thrived at Brainy Child Montessori. He comes to school excited and curious.The teachers are incredibly attentive and genuinely care about each child’s individual growth, which has made a big difference in his confidence and independence. My son needed extra support with studying, and Brainy Child Montessori has been wonderful in helping him build those skills. The teachers were patient, attentive, and intentional in providing individualized guidance, which helped my children gain confidence and make steady progress. The Montessori approach allowed them to learn at their own pace, and the bilingual environment further strengthened their language development. We’ve been very grateful for the encouragement and care they’ve received. The bilingual/trilingual environment has been a wonderful gift. We’ve seen remarkable progress not only in his language skills, but also in his cultural awareness and openness to others. Being part of such an international and multicultural classroom has helped him develop empathy, respect, and curiosity about the world from a very young age. We also deeply appreciate the small class sizes and flexible scheduling, education.

My son has been attending this Montessori school since he was 19 months old, and I’m so happy with our experience. The teaching methods are excellent— child-centered and easy for him to follow. Over time, I’ve seen such amazing progress. He used to say only a few words, and now he’s talking so much more with confidence! The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely care for the children. My son used to be shy at school, but now he looks forward to going every day. As a parent, it’s such a comfort knowing he’s in a safe, loving, and supportive environment. I’m truly grateful for this school and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing place for their child to grow

Amazing preschool that understands the unique strengths and personality of each child - the strength of the school is the fantastic set of teachers, each comes with really rich experience in working with little people. Teachers Sula, Pam , Monica, Li Lao Shi , Shilpi, Sree, Christina and everyone else at the school have done a wonderful job with my son who truly enjoys going to school , learning and reading ! I highly recommend the school for early years all the way to K2.

This is the 1st school of my son Paddy. He was 22 months old when he started. I found it hard to keep up with his learning needs at home (even as a full time mum). He was bored and grumpy at time, I knew there is something missing there- toys and playgrounds just couldnt keep him engaged as before. I brought him to Brainy Child and what a stroke of luck, he got the best teachers -Teacher Pam, Teacher Shilpi, Teacher Antonia, they shown him the joy of learning in a fun way. He was amazed by the early learning of phonics and letters. I believe this fits his passion for reading so well. He loves art and craft, songs and dance. And he loves being with his friends in school. We did experience challenges along the way -- sleep regression, meltdown at drop-off, but this is a school that wont put your child in a corner to cry. I cant thank teachers enough for holding Paddy and really listen to his fear and be there for him. He truly loves learning and school now. And I realise once that passion lighten up, a child will learn in anytime and anywhere, with or without any assistance. Thank you for helping Paddy shines in his own way. We will sure come back to pay visit to you all. Take care :) Parent Yuki

This is the best preschool in all Singapore. The most loving kind and compassionate teachers. My son was bullied and treated really poorly in his previous preschool and I honestly think the kind and caring teachers of this school saved him 🥰 I will never forget the kindness and care that they showed my boy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does "Brainy Buds Kindergarten" charge per month?

Brainy Buds Kindergarten is priced in the mid-range bracket for Singapore preschools and kindergartens. Contact the centre directly to confirm the current monthly fee for your child's age group, as rates typically differ across infant care, playgroup, nursery, and kindergarten levels. Beyond the monthly fee, budget for a one-off registration fee and a refundable deposit (commonly equivalent to one or two months' fees). Some centres also charge for uniforms and group personal accident insurance. Childcare and kindergarten fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the fee quoted should be the amount you pay. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →

What subsidies can I claim at "Brainy Buds Kindergarten"?

Singapore citizen children attending ECDA-licensed childcare centres may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy — up to S$600 per month for infant care or up to S$300 per month for childcare. Working mothers employed for at least 56 hours per month may additionally claim the Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy. For lower-income families, the Additional Subsidy is income-tested and can bring total combined support up to approximately S$710 per month. Families using a kindergarten programme may instead qualify under the KidSTART or KiFAS frameworks. Permanent Resident children are eligible for partial subsidies at a reduced rate. Subsidy quantum and eligibility criteria are reviewed periodically, so check directly with ECDA at ecda.gov.sg for the most current figures before enrolment.

Is there a waitlist at "Brainy Buds Kindergarten"?

Popular preschools and kindergartens in Singapore, particularly those in central locations, can have waiting lists stretching from three to twelve months. Infant care places are especially competitive given limited capacity per class. The primary intake period is January, so families targeting that start date are advised to begin enquiring at least six to nine months in advance. To secure a place, most centres require payment of a registration fee and a deposit once an offer is made. Neither fee is typically refundable if you withdraw after acceptance. Contact Brainy Buds Kindergarten directly using the phone number or enquiry form on this listing to ask about current availability for your child's intended start month.
