About Lodestar Montessori
Lodestar Montessori is a Montessori-approach preschool and kindergarten located at 23 Jalan Teliti, Singapore 537319. The centre is KakiList-verified and ACRA-registered, and is priced at the mid-range tier ($$) for Singapore childcare. It holds a 5-out-of-5 rating on Google, though this is based on 17 reviews — a small sample, so it should be treated as a directional signal rather than a definitive measure.
Families interested in enrolling should begin by contacting Lodestar Montessori to enquire about available slots for their intended start month, as places — particularly for younger age groups — can fill well in advance. It is worth asking about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, the daily Montessori routine, and the settling-in period for new children. You should also confirm whether the centre is ECDA-licensed, as this determines eligibility for government childcare subsidies available to Singapore citizen children.
The most practical next step is to reach out via phone or the enquiry form on this listing to confirm current availability and arrange a centre visit, where you can meet the lead teacher and get a clearer sense of the environment before committing.

★★★★★
One of the few real authentic Montessori schools in Singapore, they follow the work cycles closely, mixed age environment, guides are AMI Montessori trained, materials are good quality. The environment is truly inviting, you only need to book a tour to find out for yourself. A true authentic Montessori education is one of the best gifts a child in their early years can have.

My son was 3 years old when he joined Lodestar Montessori Preschool . All I can say is I am really greatfull to all the guides and Principal for guiding and nurturing him so well. Not only him but all the children. They feel it like home, a place to grow and explore. A journey from shy little N2 to a confident and independent young K2 went so smooth. Thank you all the guides for a strong support and pillar for him. Thanks ☺️

My child has been with the school since N2, and as we reach graduation, I feel deeply grateful for the entire journey. The guides have been caring, patient, and truly attentive, supporting his growth in both confidence and character. I’ve also really appreciated the Montessori environment, which has nurtured independence, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning. Thank you for giving my kid such a warm and meaningful start in the early years. I couldn’t be more thankful. ☺️

They are brilliant and have been one of the most amazing team of guides .. my children enjoys going to school every single day and the guidance provided for both my children and us as parent are so deep and valuable. We wish them an even more successful career as educators...

We feel so blessed to have been part of Montessori journey. The love, patience, and encouragement given by the teachers made Saanvi feel at home every single day. We’ve seen such beautiful changes in her from becoming more independent and responsible to developing curiosity, empathy, and kindness. This school has given not just education, but values, life skills and confidence that will stay with her for life. It’s hard to put into words, as it has been all about the experience. We are deeply grateful to the school and teachers for giving Saanvi such a strong and happy foundation for life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Lodestar Montessori charge per month?›
Lodestar Montessori is priced at the mid-range tier ($$) for Singapore childcare, though exact monthly fees have not been published on this listing. When you enquire, ask the centre to confirm the full fee schedule, including the one-time registration fee, any refundable deposit (typically equivalent to one to two months of fees), and costs for uniform and personal accident insurance. Childcare and kindergarten fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the quoted monthly fee should be what you pay. Fee levels can vary depending on the programme type and the child's age group. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
What subsidies can I claim at Lodestar Montessori?›
Singapore citizen children enrolled at ECDA-licensed childcare centres may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy — up to S$600 per month for infant care or S$300 per month for childcare — regardless of household income. Working mothers who clock at least 56 hours per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Relief Subsidy, and lower-income families can access the Additional Subsidy, which can bring combined monthly support up to S$710 or more depending on income and programme type. For kindergarten programmes, the KidStart and KiFAS schemes may apply to eligible families. Permanent Resident children are eligible for partial subsidies only. Subsidy amounts are reviewed periodically, so visit the ECDA website for the most current figures and confirm with the centre whether it is an approved operator for subsidy purposes.
Is there a waitlist at Lodestar Montessori?›
Demand for preschool places in Singapore, particularly for infant care and nursery levels, often exceeds supply at well-regarded centres. It is generally advisable to enquire three to twelve months before your intended start date, with January being the peak intake month for most programmes. Even mid-year intakes can have limited availability. To secure a place, most centres require payment of a registration fee and a deposit once a slot is offered. Contact Lodestar Montessori directly via phone or the enquiry form to ask about current availability for your child's age group and preferred start month, as waitlist positions can change quickly.
