Families interested in a place should enquire well ahead of their intended start month, as infant care vacancies — particularly for younger age groups — tend to fill quickly. When you make contact, ask about current availability for your child's birth month, the infant-to-caregiver ratio, the daily routine and sleep schedule, and the settling-in period policy. It is also worth confirming whether the centre is an ECDA-approved operator, as this determines eligibility for government childcare subsidies available to Singapore citizen children.
To take the next step, reach out to Little Kinder Montessori by phone or via the enquiry form on their listing to check slot availability for your intended start month and to arrange a centre visit.

I am writing this review after my daughter's two years' plus journey with Little Kinder Montessori, Hillview Center. I still remember my daughter started her first school day on September 2023, right before she turning 2 years. It was our fortune to find this preschool and had a memorable time with all the teachers and children. I believe the principle Ms Yvonne is not only hosting a preschool, but also building a mini society which bonds all the patents, children and teachers. My child learnt a lot from this school and enjoyed her time there. I also got to know all the names in my daughter's class as we would like to talk about her daily life at home. It was quite upset to ask my daughter to leave this school because we were moving house recently. Hope to meet all the friends again and all the best to you all!
Highly recommended childcare! First impression was the owner, Yvonne, has a humble and meticulous approach with the enrolment and tried to understand my needs and concerns. From the moment I walked in, the centre gives a warm feelings and the teachers are very friendly. Communication and feedback are very transparent and the team will try their best to manage my requests too. Teachers are caring and nurturing, they create a warm and welcoming environment that fosters learning and development. My child loves going to this center every day and comes home happy, he also surprised me with some new skills or knowledges from time to time. I feel confident and at ease knowing that my child is safe and well-cared for in their capable hands. Thank you Yvonne & Team for providing such exceptional care and support. My best experience and mind at ease journey on my child's early education and well-being with Little Kinder. 👍
Two of my kids attend this school, one graduated two years ago and the other is in the nursery class. I love the school environment, the small class size, the daily outdoor play and occasional water play. The teachers are very dedicated and the school is very well managed by Yvonne. She will often keep us updated on the kids progress and sometime even send us photos on what they are up to. I really appreciate the personal touch. I was super impressed with the year end play they had for my son’s K2 graduation class two years ago. All props and costumes hand made by the teachers, super creative!! This school is like a second family for my kids, great environment for learning and growing.
Can’t agree more with previous reviewers. My daughter has attended this school since she was 18 months and now still going strong at 2.5 yrs of age. I love the healthy meals prepared at school, the open and timely communication with all the teachers and principal Ms Yvonne, the variation of activities they have for the children, and the outdoor space for playing and learning. My girl comes back happy and likes attending school. She is also enjoying the extra weekly Kindermusik enrichment class (it’s optional) that we signed her up for. Her speech and vocabulary has developed by leaps and bounds since the very first week she joined the school—I remain very impressed by this. Sometimes, parents are asked to be involved a little in the kids’ projects, and I find it a good way for us to remain connected and in tune with what the kids are doing in school. If only they had infant care at this branch!
My son went to little kinder Montessori for two years and I can't thank Yvonne and her team of lovely teachers enough. He loved going to school everyday and we as parents saw a sea change in his communication skills and confidence. It has a very cosy and homely environment and all the teachers are very soft spoken and loving. I would definitely recommend this school for anyone living in this area.

Little Kinder Montessori operates on a monthly recurring fee model, placing it in the mid-range ($$) for Singapore infant care centres. Beyond the monthly fee itself, you should ask about a one-time registration fee, a deposit (typically equivalent to one to two months' fees), and any charges for uniforms, insurance, or consumables such as milk and nappies. Childcare and infant care fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the quoted monthly fee should reflect the full amount payable before subsidies. Always request a written fee schedule covering all items before signing the enrolment contract. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
Singapore citizen children enrolled at ECDA-approved infant care centres may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy of up to S$600 per month for infant care. Working mothers who work at least 56 hours per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Development Co-Savings (WMS) subsidy. Lower-income families may also access the Additional Subsidy, which is income-tested and can bring combined subsidy support up to approximately S$710 per month in total. Permanent resident children receive partial subsidies at reduced rates. Kindergarten Fee Assistance Scheme (KiFAS) applies to kindergarten programmes and is separate. Subsidy quantum and eligibility criteria are updated periodically — contact ECDA directly or visit the ECDA website for the most current figures before enrolment. Confirm with Little Kinder Montessori whether they are an ECDA-approved operator, as this is a prerequisite for subsidy claims.
Infant care places in Singapore are among the most competitive in the childcare sector. At popular centres, families are advised to enquire three to twelve months before their intended start date, with January being a peak intake month when many slots are filled simultaneously. To secure a place, most centres require payment of a registration fee and a deposit. Submitting these early is typically the only way to hold a confirmed vacancy. There is no publicly available waitlist information for Little Kinder Montessori at this time. Contact the centre directly by phone or via the enquiry form to ask about current availability for your child's specific age group and intended start month, and clarify the process for reserving a place.
