Families considering enrolment are encouraged to enquire early about available slots for their intended start month, as places — particularly for younger age groups — can fill well ahead of the intake period. When you contact the centre, ask about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, the structure of the daily routine, and how the Montessori curriculum is implemented across age groups. It is worth clarifying the settling-in period process so your child can transition gradually into the new environment. Singapore citizen children enrolled in an ECDA-licensed centre may be eligible for childcare subsidies; confirm whether Little Kinder Montessori is ECDA-licensed and, if so, what subsidy tiers apply to your family's circumstances.

My elder child graduated from LKM Pasir Panjang last year, but to this day still continues to talk about how much he enjoyed his time (PG, N1, N2, K1, K2) there. The teachers are patient, committed and kind, and with Ms Yvonne leading the team, we've never had any worries or troubles. Childcare is not an easy vocation, but Ms Yvonne and her teachers have done a truly spectacular job. My younger child is now going through N2 at LKM Pasir Panjang, and the experience has been similarly wonderful. Some specific examples: 1. The teachers buy presents for the children with their own money for various special occasions, which the children love. 2. My children prefer to eat the food at LKM Pasir Panjang, instead of the food at home. It apparently is that tasty! 3. The elective classes are very interesting and reasonably priced (soccer, speech and drama etc). 4. Parent-teacher feedback sessions are a very involved process, and it is clear that the teachers really care about the children. 5. Even where parents are late to pick up children, the teachers will wait patiently until all children have gone home. In particular, Zhao Lao Shi (Chinese teacher) is exemplary in her devotion to her students - she sends us messages of her own accord when any of our children is absent from school, asking after them and checking whether they have fallen ill. There are some anonymous/initials-only 1-star reviews being left on this page that are quite puzzling. My family's experience with LKM Pasir Panjang has been nothing but positive, and this is also the case for many other students and their families (whom we have befriended). If you have any questions or clarifications about LKM Pasir Panjang, please feel free to reach out to me.
Our daughter has been at Little Kinder Montessori for over a year now and currently in N1. She transitioned into the school when we moved into the area and from the first visit I knew this was the right school for us. The physical school is so bright and airy, colorful and big! There is a fantastic garden that the little ones get to enjoy, climb, play with water and even grow things. The staff are fantastic, always happy and enthusiastic and genuinely engaged in the well being of each child. The way that our daughter speaks about her teachers and her peers we know she is enjoying her experience at the school. The actual education and curriculum is not as vital to us at this age but we are confident that our child is getting a great groundwork since her understanding of the fundamentals is above our expectations. The owner Yvonne is fantastic, she is not only running a business but building a community around the school and makes a real effort with both the parents and the students. If you are looking for individualized care in a small community school then consider Little Kinder!
My 1 year old son and myself had a lovely time at Little Kinder Montessori! I was very sad that I had to leave due to relocation. I loved their house like setting which gave a warm vibe and also I could feel that the principal, Ms. Yvonne has much passion to the children which leads to having teachers who were all very loving and caring. Also, flexible to accommodate the needs that each child / parents may have, which was very helpful for myself using infant care for the first time.
Im extremely happy to have chosen LKM to be my sons early childhood education school. I love their feel at home setting and how friendly and caring teachers are. They make sure that everyone is well looked after and I always look forward to chatting to Ms Fanny and Ms Eunice on how day went with my son and I felt all their genuine love and care to everyone not just to my kid. Im very thankful to this gem as it has contributed massively to my sons development and well being. Ms Yvonne has been an amazing principal/owner and she made a fantastic job in running the school and building a community.I would definitely recommend LKM 💯 % to everyone.
Both my children attended Little Kinder Montessori and loved it so much that my elder child cried when he had to leave the school to go to Primary 1. The school campus is bright and airy with plenty of outdoor play opportunities, unlike some other schools where the kids spend most of their time indoors in aircon. We find the teachers and their principal, Ms Yvonne, to be genuinely kind, warm and dedicated to the children's well-being. They have created a wonderfully safe and loving environment for the children, and go beyond the call of duty in coming up with endless fun and creative activities, often staying up late to send photos and updates. Throughout COVID, the school showed an amazing level of resourcefulness in activating home-based learning for the children and keeping their spirits up through video calls. We cherish our time at LKM and would wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent.

Little Kinder Montessori is priced in the mid-range band ($$) for Singapore preschools and kindergartens, though a specific monthly fee has not been published on this listing. Typical preschool fees in Singapore vary by programme type, age group, and hours (half-day versus full-day), so it is best to contact the centre directly for a current fee schedule. Beyond the monthly fee, be sure to ask about a one-time registration fee, a refundable deposit (commonly equivalent to one to two months' fees), and any charges for uniforms, insurance, or enrichment activities. Childcare and kindergarten fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so no GST should be added to the amounts quoted. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
Singapore citizen children enrolled at an ECDA-licensed childcare centre may qualify for the Basic Subsidy — up to S$600 per month for infant care and up to S$300 per month for childcare — subject to the centre holding the relevant ECDA licence. Working mothers who work at least 56 hours per month may also access the Additional Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy on top of the Basic Subsidy. For lower-income households, Additional Subsidy (income-tested) can bring combined support up to S$710 per month. Kindergartens operating under the Kindergarten Fee Assistance Scheme (KiFAS) provide further means-tested support. Permanent resident children are eligible for partial subsidies at a reduced quantum. Subsidy amounts and eligibility criteria are reviewed periodically, so always check the ECDA website for the most current figures. Confirm directly with Little Kinder Montessori whether the centre is ECDA-licensed and registered to process subsidy claims before relying on subsidy support in your fee planning.
Availability at preschools and kindergartens in Singapore varies considerably by centre, age group, and time of year. The primary intake month is January, and popular programmes — especially those for younger children — can reach capacity months in advance. As a general guide, families are advised to enquire at least three to six months ahead of their intended start date, and earlier still if flexibility on start month is limited. To secure a place, centres typically require payment of a registration fee and, upon an offer being made, a deposit. Contact Little Kinder Montessori directly through the phone number or enquiry form on this page to ask about current vacancies for your child's age group and preferred start month. If no immediate vacancy is available, ask whether a waitlist exists and how notifications are managed.
