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

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…
Emma and Ben are both proof of all the things you and your team are doing for our little ones. Emma started off with you when you were looking after a handful of kiddies at your house, and five years on, she graduated from Singing Forest as a confident, aware Grade R. Heather I believe without a doubt Emma would never have flourished in any other school, as she did at Singing Forest. In her Grade R year, which was a little more challenging for her, you and your team took the time to find out wha…
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…
Sending your toddler to school for the first time has got to be one of THE most stressful, heart breaking moments a parent can go through, ok not all parents, maybe just the overly protective softies like myself.
 
From the moment I opened the gates at Singing Forest I knew I had found a home away from home for my daughter. Not only was I able to phone a million times a day to check if my daughter was ok,  Heather completely understood my feelings and emotions and helped me overcome every sing…
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 …
 
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  
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 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
