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.
My son loves the environment at Starshine Montessori and adores every teacher. Their patience has helped him overcome initial struggles with language and the new environment. Now, my child looks forward to going to school every single day. That’s the Starshine difference!
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!

Starshine Montessori operates on a monthly recurring fee model, priced at the mid-range ($$) tier. For infant care in Singapore, full-day centre-based fees typically range from around S$1,500 to S$2,500 per month before subsidies, depending on the provider and programme. Contact Starshine Montessori directly to confirm the exact monthly rate for your child's age group. Beyond the monthly fee, ask about a one-time registration fee, a security deposit (commonly equivalent to one to two months' fees), and any charges for uniforms or personal accident insurance. Childcare and infant care fees at licensed ECDA centres are GST-exempt, so no GST should be added to the quoted fees. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
Singapore citizen children enrolled at ECDA-licensed infant care centres may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy of up to S$600 per month. Working mothers who clock at least 56 hours of work per month may qualify for an additional Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy on top of the Basic Subsidy. Families with a gross monthly household income below a set threshold may also access the Additional Subsidy, which can bring combined support to up to S$710 per month or more depending on income tier. Permanent Resident children are eligible for partial subsidies at lower quantum. Subsidies apply only at ECDA-licensed centres, so confirm directly with Starshine Montessori that it holds the relevant ECDA licence before applying. Subsidy amounts and eligibility criteria are reviewed periodically — visit the ECDA website for the most current figures and to submit your application.
Infant care places in Singapore are in high demand and popular centres can fill up six to twelve months in advance. Even for less heavily subscribed centres, it is advisable to enquire at least three to six months before your intended start date. January is the peak intake month as it aligns with the start of the school year, so competition for slots is particularly strong for that period. To secure a place, most centres require payment of a registration fee and, once a slot is confirmed, a deposit. Contact Starshine Montessori directly via phone or the enquiry form listed on this page to check current availability and ask how to join the waitlist if no immediate vacancy exists.
