Bursting the Montessori Bubble

Bursting the Montessori Bubble

  “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

Testimonials

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…
 
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 am so grateful that my son Oscar was able to join Heather and her crew at Singing Forest. I was absolutely confident that he was in the best possible hands and the staff always went above and beyond nurturing and stimulating my child, enabling him to reach his full potential. He is now at Chartwell House Montessori Eco School. Thanks so much Heather, Andrea and Ruth!!! Elise Kreusch  
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
Hi Heather I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate everything you and your staff have done to help Khensani She’s gone from being a very reserved child to being a confident, bubbly, focused little girl! You’ve helped build the foundation for improved learning achievement, focus and social interactions. The impact of your help is so significant. It will help her for the rest of her life. I truly can’t thank you enough and will be forever grateful. Much Appreciated Love …
Heather,  you are doing an amazing job!   My mother thinks Boston is way ahead of his 12 cousins in manners, neatness, consideration for others and just general grown up attitude.   I very much attribute this to school.  Obviously we work on this at home but I know it’s MOSTLY school.   You should see his room.  It has to be absolutely spotless at all times.  He won’t go to bed without everything being put away and boy oh boy, everything has it’s place.   LOVE IT!

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 …
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…

“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…
