About D'Montessori

About D'Montessori

D'Montessori is a preschool and kindergarten listed on KakiList, located at 299 River Valley Road, Singapore 238340. The listing has been KakiList-verified and is ACRA-registered. It carries a 5-out-of-5 rating on Google, though this is based on 13 reviews — a small sample that should be treated as directional rather than conclusive. Pricing is indicated at the S$$ tier, suggesting mid-range monthly fees, though specific figures have not been published and should be confirmed directly with the centre.

Families interested in enrolling should begin by enquiring about slot availability for their intended start month, as places — particularly for younger age groups — can fill well in advance. When you contact D'Montessori, it is worth asking about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, the daily routine and curriculum structure, and the settling-in arrangements for new children. Parents of Singapore citizen children should also ask about ECDA subsidies, which may meaningfully reduce out-of-pocket monthly fees depending on household income and the mother's employment status.

The most practical next step is to reach out via phone or the enquiry form listed on KakiList to ask about current availability, arrange a centre visit, and request a full fee schedule including any registration fee and deposit requirements before making a decision.

I consider myself very lucky to have found The Montessori Place of Learning. My 2 year old attended this daycare for 5 weeks and enjoyed it very much. The teachers are affectionate and caring and I could tell that my toddler looked forward to seeing them. I also really appreciated the flexibility of enrolling my child for just the time period that I needed and how easy it was to communicate with Vicky and the teachers. This is a great place for kids!

I fully agree with others regarding this hidden place to learn. To us, it feels like a dayhome, where teachers are reliable and experienced. Most importantly, they kept us updated on our child's progress every day. My child comes home looking forward to going to school the next day. Children are treated with freedom and are given the opportunity to play, explore, and have fun, which is all about - the image of child. Thumbs up!

I sent my 3 year old son here for 3 months. We were very pleased with the at-home atmosphere and the very kind teachers. 1) Flexible This is a very good childcare center during short stay in Singapore. Other schools require the expensive enrollment fee or other preparation fee but here set the fee for short term class like us. My son went to school twice a week, 3 hours per a class. We can decide with teachers how many times or how long child goes to school. (2) International environment The school mainly speaks English, but they also had Chinese language activities. My son speaks only Japanese, but they accepted him. He seemed anxious at first, but they treated him kindly and I was impressed that he became happy to go school within 3 months. There were 5-6 students in the class depending on the day of the week, and they seemed to come from many different countries. I think it was a good stimulating environment for my son. (3) Diverse activities In the daily schedule, Montessori activities are held as soon as he arrived at the school. After that, they sang more seasonally songs, drew pictures, made productions, and did many more activities than I expected. Thank you teachers!

I am so very glad and grateful that I have found Montessori Place of Learning! My 2yo child attended this centre for one month (during the holidays of his preschool), and it was a truly enjoyable experience. I liked that the teaching staff were caring and communicative - they updated me regularly on how my child was doing as well as on his activities. I also liked the Montesorri approach and materials. Combined with a relaxed atmosphere and good-sized space, this centre is a hidden gem. Highly recommended!

I sent my kid to this lovely kindergarten about 3 months ago and have been finding myself very lucky in every aspect. It was meant to be a very short stint but turned out this is a gem. The teachers are kind and flexible to customize for each kid's learning path. The amazing teacher student ratio further helps to reinforce the learning outcome. There is also a great deal of flexibility to bring your own meals and to have 2 hours or 3 hours programs in the afternoon. The additional benefit of having a small class is also that the kids seldom catch diseases (much less than in other school environment). I would say that this is a place perfect for the small ones who would need more personal attention. Furthermore, the true mixed age pedagogy is really at play in this wonderful place where the older children also hone their leadership. I can see my daughter grow dramatically. Thank you to teacher Rohini and teacher Leona!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does D'Montessori charge per month?

D'Montessori has not published a specific monthly fee, so families should contact the centre directly for a current fee schedule. As a general reference, preschool and kindergarten fees in Singapore typically range from around S$700 to S$1,800 per month before subsidies, depending on the programme, hours, and centre type. Beyond the monthly fee, ask about a one-off registration fee, a refundable deposit (commonly equivalent to one to two months' fees), and any charges for uniforms or insurance. It is also worth confirming whether the fees are inclusive of meals and curriculum materials. Childcare and kindergarten fees in Singapore are GST-exempt. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →

What subsidies can I claim at D'Montessori?

Singapore citizen children attending an ECDA-licensed centre may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy — up to S$300 per month for childcare, or up to S$600 per month for infant care. Working mothers employed for at least 56 hours per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Relief component and the Additional Subsidy, which is income-tested and can bring combined monthly support to around S$710 for lower-income households. Families with children in kindergarten programmes may also enquire about KiFAS (Kindergarten Fee Assistance Scheme). Permanent resident children are eligible for partial subsidies at lower quantum levels. Subsidy amounts and eligibility criteria are reviewed periodically, so it is strongly recommended that you check the current figures directly with ECDA at www.ecda.gov.sg before making enrolment decisions. Note that subsidy eligibility also depends on whether D'Montessori holds the relevant ECDA licence — confirm this with the centre directly.

Is there a waitlist at D'Montessori?

Waitlists are common at well-regarded preschools in Singapore, particularly for infant care and nursery places. Families are generally advised to enquire at least three to six months ahead of their intended start date, and up to twelve months in advance for infant care. January is the peak intake month for most centres, so demand for slots in that cohort tends to be highest. To secure a place, centres typically require payment of a registration fee and, upon offer of a slot, a deposit. These amounts vary by centre and should be clarified upfront. Contact D'Montessori directly via phone or the enquiry form on KakiList to ask about current availability for your child's intended start month and age group.
