About Little Oaks Montessori

About "Little Oaks Montessori"

The centre is KakiList verified and ACRA registered, and holds a 5/5 rating across 33 Google reviews — a moderate sample that offers a reasonable directional signal of parent satisfaction.

When enquiring, it is worth asking about available slots for your intended start month, as popular Montessori programmes can fill well in advance — particularly for younger age groups. During your centre visit, ask about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, how the daily routine is structured, the settling-in period for new children, and how the Montessori philosophy is applied in practice. It is also worth confirming whether the centre is registered with ECDA, as that determines eligibility for government childcare subsidies available to Singapore citizen children.

To take the next step, reach out to Little Oaks Montessori via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to ask about current vacancies for your child's age group and to arrange a centre visit before making any commitment.

LittleOaks has been such a warm and nurturing environment in which sons have thrived. The teachers put in tremendous effort with everything they do and foster a love of curiosity, exploration and learning with such care and individual understanding of each student's needs. The LittleOaks families and community has also been so supportive and our children have made beautiful friendships. We could not recommend LittleOaks more highly, we feel truly lucky to have found this special kindergarten in Singapore.

We’ve been with Little Oaks for more than a year, and it’s been the perfect first school for our son. He’s had the most wonderful teachers — Ms. Felicia, Ms. Menaka, Ms. Gowri, and Ms. Rina — who have nurtured his confidence, communication, and social skills. The curriculum is well-rounded, with a great mix of learning, creative play, and outdoor fun. He especially enjoys Fun Fridays and festive celebrations like Easter and Halloween. The principal, Ms. Angel, is proactive, caring, and always reachable — she runs the school with heart and excellence. Most of all, it's a warm, close-knit community of teachers, students, and parents. We couldn’t ask for a better start, and plan to stay until he moves to big school!

An absolute gem of a preschool. It’s a joy to see my daughter learn and grow here, and equally lovely to do drop-offs and see the happiness on all the kids’ faces as they run into class. The teachers are warm, engaged, and always open for a quick chat at the door, which makes it feel like one big family. The learning program is creative, thoughtful, and packed with enriching activities. I’m constantly amazed at how much they do in such a short day. My daughter looks forward to Fun Fridays, cultural holiday celebrations, and the many dress-up days with so much excitement. It truly feels like a parenting win to have found this place. I’m incredibly grateful that this is her first experience of education and learning. Highly recommend.

My daughter attended Little Oaks for just over two years and I wish she had been able to stay longer. Thanks to Little Oaks, she had the opportunity to practice some of the important but often overlooked life skills that children of this age need to learn. The curriculum was truly enriching and engaging, expanding the students' minds while still allowing them to have fun, play and explore. The teachers all go above and beyond to make the children's school experience a joyful one. Could not recommend enough.

The curriculum is engaging and age-appropriate, and the facilities are clean, safe, and well-maintained. My children have thrived here, making new friends and developing important skills that will serve them well in the years to come. I highly recommend this kindergarten to any family looking for a supportive and stimulating environment for their little ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does "Little Oaks Montessori" charge per month?

Little Oaks Montessori is listed at a mid-range price point, but specific monthly fee figures are not publicly displayed on this listing. When you contact the centre, ask for a full fee breakdown that covers the monthly tuition fee, any one-time registration fee, the deposit amount (typically equivalent to two months' fees at many centres), and any charges for uniforms or personal accident insurance. Childcare and kindergarten fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so no GST should be added to the fees quoted to you. Always request a written schedule of fees before signing any enrolment agreement. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →

What subsidies can I claim at "Little Oaks Montessori"?

Singapore citizen children enrolled in an ECDA-registered childcare centre 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), the Working Mother's Child Relief Subsidy (available where the mother works at least 56 hours per month), and the Additional Subsidy, which is income-tested and can bring the combined subsidy to up to S$710 per month. Kindergartens registered under ECDA's Kindergarten Fee Assistance Scheme (KiFAS) offer additional support for lower-income families. Permanent Residents may receive partial subsidies at lower quantum. Subsidy amounts and eligibility criteria are subject to change, so always verify the current figures directly with ECDA at ecda.gov.sg before making financial decisions. Confirm with Little Oaks Montessori whether the centre is registered under the relevant ECDA subsidy frameworks.

Is there a waitlist at "Little Oaks Montessori"?

Popular preschools and kindergartens in Singapore — particularly those following a Montessori approach — can carry waitlists of three to twelve months, with infant care places among the most competitive. January is the primary intake month for most centres, so families typically enquire from six to twelve months ahead to secure a place for that cohort. To secure a slot, most centres require payment of a registration fee and a deposit, which may or may not be refundable depending on the centre's policy. Contact Little Oaks Montessori directly via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to check current availability for your child's age group and intended start date.
