Families considering enrolment are encouraged to enquire about available slots for their intended start month as early as possible, as popular centres can fill quickly — particularly for younger age groups. When you make contact, ask about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, the daily routine structure, and the settling-in period approach, which varies from centre to centre. It is worth discussing whether your child qualifies for ECDA childcare subsidies, as Singapore citizen children may be eligible for meaningful fee offsets depending on household income and the mother's working status.
To take the next step, reach Montessori Children's House by phone or via the enquiry form on the listing page to ask about current slot availability for your preferred start month, and arrange a centre visit to meet the teaching team before making any commitment.
Visit the centre in person, meet the lead teacher, and read the parent contract before signing.

We are very happy with the care and love that MCH teachers and staff have provided over four years for our youngest child. Very low turn over rate of staff. Most teachers and staff stay with school for years providing secure and stable environment for the children to grow and learn. In MCH, each child will lead their discovery and learn in their own pace. Parents will also learn to wait for their child grow and bloom.
Montessori Children’s House has been a wonderful school for our son. The level of care is meticulous, and the teachers are truly dedicated to each child’s growth. In just a few months, we’ve seen him flourish — from a shy toddler into a confident little boy with wonderful progress in both his motor and language skills. He loves school so much that he even carries his schoolbag around on weekends, asking if it’s time to go back! It’s a clear reflection of how safe, happy, and excited he feels every day he’s there. We are deeply grateful to all his teachers — Ms Ruth, Liao Laoshi, Ms Karen, and Ms Carolyn — for the warmth, patience, and genuine love they’ve shown him. Their guidance has made an immense difference in his development, and we couldn’t have asked for a better learning environment. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a nurturing, thoughtful, and truly exceptional early childhood experience.
Thankful to Montessori Children House for giving both my daughters a joyful, nurturing and enriching Montessori education and learning experience. Both my daughters thoroughly enjoyed their time from 18 months to 6 years. The caring and experienced teachers, beautiful Montessori environment, has instilled a love for learning in my children and laid within them a good foundation for primary school and beyond.
All my three children went to MCH. MCH was a haven for learning - academic and social. We liked the purist Montessori approach where children mixed freely and with peers as well as seniors, and took on tasks which interested them, when they were ready for them. Yet, there was system in the freedom to explore. My children joined when they were 3 years old and still very attached to me, and they resisted leaving my side. Miss Carolyn and the teachers ensured that the transition was gentle for both me and my children. I was never forced to let my children cry it out. I was so grateful for that. The teachers are effective, patient and responsible, under the leadership of Ms Carolyn & Ms Corinne. MCH also organised many meaningful and intimate programmes for the children and family members. My children are now 15, 11 and 9. They all remember their days and teachers in MCH fondly.
Our four children have attended MCH. Our children were always eager to attend school in the morning to meet their friends and teachers. The teachers are all long term employees of the school with very low staff turnover. This is good as the teachers really get to know the children well. The teachers at MCH are very caring, knowledgeable and excellent educators. The school has a vibrant community and our children have made good friends over the years. The quality of pedagogy is high, with strong adherence to the Montessori philosophy. I would highly recommend MCH as a school for parents to entrust for their children's education. Overall of the highest standard and quality!!

Montessori Children's House is priced at the mid-range tier ($$) for a Singapore preschool or kindergarten, though a specific monthly fee figure is not published on this listing. You will need to contact the centre directly for the current fee schedule. Beyond the monthly fee, families should ask about a one-time registration fee, a deposit (typically equivalent to one to two months' fees), and any miscellaneous costs such as uniform, insurance, or curriculum materials. Childcare and kindergarten fees charged by ECDA-licensed centres 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 in a 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. Working mothers who work at least 56 hours per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Relief (WMCR) is separate from the Working Mother Subsidy (WMS), which further reduces fees. For lower-income households, the Additional Subsidy can bring the total combined subsidy up to S$710 per month. For kindergarten programmes, the KiFAS (Kindergarten Fee Assistance Scheme) provides additional help for eligible families. Singapore Permanent Residents receive partial subsidies at lower rates than citizens. Subsidy amounts are periodically revised, so always verify the latest figures directly with ECDA at go.gov.sg/ecda before making your enrolment decision.
Waitlists at popular preschools and kindergartens in Singapore are common, and it is advisable to enquire at least three to six months ahead of your intended start date. For infant care places in particular, demand often exceeds supply and some centres are booked six to twelve months in advance. January is the primary intake month for most programmes aligned to the school calendar, which means competition for spots peaks in the preceding months. To secure a place, centres typically require payment of a registration fee and a deposit. Contact Montessori Children's House directly by phone or via the enquiry form to ask about current availability for your child's age group and preferred start month.
