Bursting the Montessori Bubble
by admin | posted in: education, montessori | 0

  “At what point do you burst the Montessori bubble?” a friend recently asked.  She has two young children in Montessori, but is considering enrolling them in a traditional private school after they finish Primary. My first thought (as a Montessori child, … Continued

It’s been a hard decision for us to make as both Isabella and Liam are so happy! And it’s been amazing to see how much they have learnt and grown.   I’m particularly fond of everyone at Singing Forest, I feel like we are part of a special family and have enjoyed the caring, loving, relaxed why in which the school is run.  I absolutely love all the teachers and in particular Amy and Diana.  (And of course our dear Fathima).   Andrea you are phenomenal. I’ve had the pleasure seeing y…
Dear Andrea, Heather and the Singing Forest team
I would like to extend my greatest gratitude for the beautiful work you put in educating and raising my Melo.
She has grown to be a smart and independent little girl. As a result of your contribution in her growth I can relate to the saying “it takes a village to raise a child”  – the Singing Forest team has been such a positive influence in her development.
I’m sure I …
When my son KB joined Singing Forest he was 22 months old and we were barely a family of 10 children at the school.  Such humble and memorable beginnings we had.  When he left the school at the end of 2013, our Singing Forest family had grown beautifully and my KB, now a tall 5 year old hunk of a guy (about to turn 6), was ready to take on big school – in every way, thanks to Singing Forest! At Singing Forest, life is beautiful!  From the very beginning, Heather ensured a personal relati…
 
Hi Heather,
I wanted to drop you a quick mail to say thank you so much for the get well card Kuval made for my mom. She wanted me to tell you she appreciates the thought. She was in tears when he gave it to her.
Thank you again
Warm Regards

I heard about this fantastic crèche from a friend and being a first time parent one always has their doubts. Heather is the school principal and when I contacted her she was more than willing to assist with everything. From day one I loved what they did and my daughter is now more alive and has really grown in the time she has been here. The teachers and staff love our children like their own and look after them better than sometimes we can. I want to thank everyone there for their part in…
It feels like my baby is leaving a part of his family. It has been a wonderful year for him and I still believe bringing him to Singing Forest this year was a good move and we are happy with all he has learned, just sorry it was so short.
Thank you Heather for the excellent service you are always giving. And May God Pour His Blessings over you and your entire family. We are so grateful to have someone like you whom we can always count on, trust and believe in with our little souls who we …
“My very defiant, headstrong and michievious little boy has spent a year and a half at Singing Forest – and I cannot praise the school and staff highly enough. The loving & supportive environment they have created ensured our little man could be himself, but could also find his way and his place in a montessori classroom context; he has developed and grown under the care and facilitation of Aneesa and Andrea in particular. Tha…
Our eldest daughter has been at Singing Forest for three and a half years and our younger daughter for 7 months. I have been so happy with the school, standard of teaching, quality of teachers and friends that they have made. As a parent one is often nervous of sending one’s babies to be cared for by others and I can honestly say that from the first day the staff at Singing Forest have put my mind at rest. A few years down the line my daughter has a genuine love of learning and natura…
We were fortunate enough to have both Jesse & Jenna attend Singing Forest. It is a wonderful, accepting environment where every child is acknowledged for his/her strengths. The nurturing culture encourages each child to develop & grow at his or her own pace. It was a home-away-from-home for our little ones Nicole Dennis
To Heather and the staff at Singing Forest
 
We would just like to thank you for the great year we had with you.  Caleigh has learned a lot in that year and will miss everybody!!!  Good luck for 2015 and may the school just grow in every aspect.
 
Lots of love
Doreen Smit
