About Starshine Montessori

About Starshine Montessori

Starshine Montessori is a preschool and kindergarten operating in Singapore, listed on KakiList as both verified and ACRA-registered. The centre is located at 2 Hillview Way and holds a 4.9-star rating across 46 Google reviews — a moderate sample size that suggests consistent parent satisfaction, though prospective families should weigh this alongside their own observations. Fees are positioned in the mid-range bracket for Singapore preschools.

Families considering Starshine Montessori are encouraged to enquire early about available slots for their intended start month, as places — particularly for younger age groups — can fill several months in advance. When you visit the centre, ask about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, the daily routine and how the Montessori curriculum is structured across age groups, and the settling-in process for new children. It is also worth discussing ECDA subsidies, which can meaningfully reduce monthly fees for Singapore citizen children whose parents meet the working-hours criteria.

The clearest next step is to contact Starshine Montessori directly via phone or the enquiry form to check current vacancy for your child's intended start month, then arrange a centre visit before committing.

My child attended N1 and N2 at Starshine Montessori and it was a wonderful experience. The school environment is cozy and they have a nice outdoor playground as well. The teachers are very supportive, caring and willing to put in extra effort to iron out any issues a child may be facing. The curriculum is well rounded with extra enrichment like Brain Boosters lessons which were very helpful for the development my child. My child always looked forward to the water play sessions on Fridays as well! Thank you Ms Ros and all teachers at Starshine Montessori for making our child's nursery journey meaningful and fun!

My children have been attending Starshine Montessori since January 2022. It first started with my daughter in 2022. My daughter entered the school in N2 and graduated in 2024. She thoroughly enjoyed her time at Starshine Montessori. Not only do they provide a fun and engaging curriculum, teaching reading, Maths and Chinese, they also have outdoor activities as they have their own outdoor playground, art and crafts, music and dance. The school also provides enrichment programs such as violin classes, Lego robotics and brain training, etc. During the time my daughter attended the school, her confidence and language skills improved significantly. She also learnt to be understanding and patient to younger children and to those with learning difficulties. While we did experience a change in ownership, we are thankful that this did not affect the daily operations of the school and everything was smooth and streamlined. The principal and core teachers are dedicated, as well as patient and kind. We liked the school and the small community so much that we decided to have our son enroll into the school last year. He is currently a student there and enjoys going to school everyday. He is very attached to the teachers, which clearly shows the excellence, patience and dedication of the teachers at Starshine Montessori. I would like to thank the school for their tireless efforts and care they provided my daughter during her time there, and the ongoing support and patience there show my son. Thank you Starshine Montessori.

Our daughter has been studying at Starshine from July 2024 to December 2025. As we have recently relocated to Boon Lay, which is closer to my workplace, we will be transferring her to a new school. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the entire Starshine team for their dedication and excellent support. During her time at the school, our daughter has made great progress in creativity, communication, and listening skills, and has learned to interact confidently with other children. We are also thankful for the school’s well-rounded programs such as Brain Booster and Robotics Skills, which she truly enjoyed. The celebration days and other activities created a joyful and engaging learning environment. We deeply appreciate the commitment, care, and professionalism of all the teachers and staff who have contributed to her growth. Thank you for providing such a positive and nurturing foundation for her development.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Starshine Montessori. Our 3-year-old attended for five months, and the growth we’ve seen has been amazing. The teachers are incredibly nurturing, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They created a warm and welcoming environment where our child felt safe, confident, and excited to learn every day. We especially appreciated how they fostered independence, creativity, and a love for learning through hands-on activities and thoughtful guidance. Even after just a few months, we noticed improvements in communication, social skills, and problem-solving abilities. We’re so grateful to Miss Ross and her entire team for making our child’s first school experience such a positive and enriching one. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a caring and inspiring Montessori program!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Starshine Montessori charge per month?

Starshine Montessori is priced in the mid-range bracket for Singapore preschools and kindergartens. Beyond the monthly programme fee, families should ask about the one-off registration fee, a deposit (typically equivalent to one to two months' fees), and any costs for uniforms or personal accident insurance. Childcare and kindergarten fees are GST-exempt in Singapore, so the quoted figure should reflect what you actually pay. For a precise breakdown — including whether there are different rates by age group or session type — contact the centre directly before committing. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →

What subsidies can I claim at Starshine Montessori?

Singapore citizen children enrolled at an ECDA-licensed centre may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy (up to S$300 per month for childcare, or up to S$600 per month for infant care) and the Working Mother's Child Development Subsidy, which requires the mother to work at least 56 hours per month. An Additional Subsidy is available for lower-income households and, combined with the Working Mother's Subsidy, can bring total support to up to S$710 per month. For kindergarten-only programmes, the KiFAS (Kindergarten Fee Assistance Scheme) applies to eligible families at participating centres. Singapore Permanent Resident children receive partial subsidies at reduced rates. Subsidy amounts are updated periodically — always check the ECDA website for the most current figures and eligibility criteria before enrolment.

Is there a waitlist at Starshine Montessori?

Popular preschools and kindergartens in Singapore, especially those with a distinctive curriculum such as Montessori, can attract strong demand. As a general guide, families are advised to enquire three to twelve months ahead of their intended start date, with January being the main peak intake month across most centres. To secure a place, centres typically require payment of a registration fee and, upon offer, a deposit. Contact Starshine Montessori directly via phone or the enquiry form to confirm current availability for your child's age group and preferred start month, as waitlist status changes throughout the year.
