Parents consistently praise Josiah Montessori's teachers for being warm, patient, and attentive to individual children's needs, with kids developing emotional confidence and enthusiasm for school. The center provides structured routines and developmental guidance that parents credit with visible growth in independence, kindness, and emotional steadiness. One parent noted a concern about guard conduct during pickup, though this appears isolated amid overwhelmingly positive feedback about the school's inclusive environment and professional teaching standards.

Good infant care is a NEED and not a Luxury. It is actually a necessity As first time parents, we can handle food and naps… but structured routines, social learning and real developmental guidance? That’s professional work 😅 Times have changed. What worked for us growing up may not be enough now. Since enrolling in this ECDA recognized centre, we’ve seen a clear difference even others notice it. Having them come telling us quoting “I wish I had enrolled all my childrens to an infant care when they were younger. I have 3 kids, 1 was brought up by our maid, 1 by our grandparents and 1 by a good infant care school. When they turned 7, we can see a clear difference! Who can speak better, shows more maturity, better concentration and better academic grades.” All I can say is even as for adults the environments, friends and social circles we are close with SHAPES us. As many Singaporeans cost is one problem many faced. Josiah Montessori is definetely Not the cheapest but also definitely NOT the most expensive. We have came across some school with ridiculous school fees! But The real question: is it worth it? For us, 100% yes. We are grateful and appreciative for all the kind and professional teachers there who shows us nothing but love, patience, high standards and kindness. We would definitely recommend Josiah Montessori to our friends.

Josiah Montessori will always hold a very special place in our hearts. For 6 years, since a little infant, this school was truly our daughter’s second home. The teachers are not just educators — they are warm, patient, and loving individuals who care for every child wholeheartedly. We watched our daughter grow in confidence, independence, and kindness, knowing she was always safe and cherished. We are especially grateful to Ms Lili and Ms Natasha, who showed our daughter such compassion during a period of transition in her life. When they noticed she became more emotional at school after the arrival of her baby sister, they responded with incredible understanding and care. They offered her extra reassurance and love, helping her feel secure and emotionally supported. As parents, it brought us comfort knowing she was surrounded by teachers who truly cared about her emotional well-being, not just her education. Beyond academics, Josiah Montessori places strong emphasis on arts and music, which we truly appreciate. Through Josiah’s musical arts programme (MAP), our daughter explored creativity through artworks, music, dancing and skit performances, which helped her built confidence and expressed emotions in meaningful ways. These experiences have played a huge role in shaping her joy for learning and self-expression. Thank you for the love, dedication, creativity and beautiful memories you have given our family. We will always be thankful to be part of the Josiah Montessori family.

We’ve had a great experience with Josiah Montessori. The teachers are genuinely warm, attentive, and clearly care about the kids as individuals. I always feel my daughter is seen and supported, not just supervised. Since joining, she’s become more emotionally steady and confident, and the biggest sign for me is she’s excited to go to school every day. She comes home happy and proud of what she’s learned. Really grateful we chose this school — it’s a loving, nurturing place, and I’d happily recommend it to other parents.

Love this school. Teachers are very professional and I could see my baby blossom and grow happily! * The only thing that made me contemplate on continuing this school is the Guards that have been giving us a lot of stress whenever we fetch our child to school. The guard will stand beside our car and chase us while we were trying to get our child out of the car or grab our stroller. We even had to apologise to the guard and thank them for their understandings. However, we soon kept seeing different guards taking photos and videos of us and our car whenever we reach Suntec on random days.. we even tried to come earlier in morning and still ended up having photos and video taken by the guards ( they hold their phone) even when there were no other car around. It’s not like we are taking our own sweet time and giving inconveniences.. we just want to get ready our bags and stroller and baby. We learnt to be more efficient in getting in and out of the car, but still we saw guards standing behind taking photos and videos when we drove off ( we knew cos we were the only car at the drop off point) and it’s not even peak hours. A number of parents have experienced this issue already and we could recognise the faces of the guards who did these to us.. we understand that they are doing their job, we just hope that management team can be more understanding.

Josiah Suntec provides a warm, wholesome and inclusive environment where children can grow well-rounded during their preschool years. It wasn’t easy finding a suitable preschool for our boy when he was 3–4yo, diagnosed with a rare genetic condition and using walking aids to move around. He attended two other preschools before we discovered Josiah Suntec when he was in N2, and the team welcomed him with open arms. Fast forward to K2 this year, all the teachers, admin team and his classmates have given him the support, love and space to grow and thrive despite his differences. He learnt at his own pace and grew more independent through the Montessori program. He looked forward to MAP class every week which honed his interest and confidence in music, dance and performing. The academic curriculum lays a good foundation and prepares the children (and parents) confidently for P1. It’s a place where children discover the best version of themselves. Lastly, K2 graduation event was spectacular! The K2 performances were electric and magical. The Josiah team did an amazing job planning and preparing for it and we’re so proud to see how our children have grown. Thank you Josiah Suntec team! 💖

How much does Josiah Montessori charge per month?›

Josiah Montessori is priced at the mid-range ($$) tier for a Singapore playgroup, though exact monthly figures should be confirmed directly with the centre as fees can vary by age group and session type. Beyond the monthly fee, families should ask about a one-off registration fee and a deposit — typically equivalent to one to two months' fees — payable upon enrolment. Additional costs such as uniform and personal accident insurance are commonly charged separately at many playgroup providers. Childcare and playgroup fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the quoted monthly amount is what you pay. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
