Our Primary Focus

Although building a child's academic performance is important, we believe that laying a strong character foundation should be primary.

Character Building

Research-based Character building and Montessori approaches are integrated seamlessly into core academic training (Reading, Writing and Arithmetic).

Thinking and Analysis

21st Century skills in thinking and analysis are cultivated from young (eg. Mind Mapping).

Multiple Intelligences

Qualified in-house music and art directors oversee the comprehensive arts programme in dance, music and 2-D as well as 3-D visual art develop children’s Multiple Intelligences.

Diversified Curriculum

We have put in place a diversified preschool curriculum so as to build up your child's skills in different areas.

Learning About Colors

Learning about colours may sound like something simple. But for kids at a young age, it is difficult for them to remember and identify colours! To help them, we use multiple approaches to engage them - from singing songs, to various art and craft, and to even organizing a little science experiment!

Current Affairs

Learning about Current Affairs - Wild Boars on the Loose! By exposing children to what is happening on the news, children learn more about the society they live in! But how can we make current affairs interesting for young children? Scroll through these photos to see how we teach our children at CM how we should respond should we encounter a Wild Boar on the streets of Singapore!

Preschool Math

Through the combination of the two Montessori materials, children begin to further develop their visual ability to differentiate and compare between the sizes of 3D objects, which is a Montessori method of preparation for the mathematical concept of volume. On top of that, they also exercise their fine motor skills in being precise with their alignment and arrangement of both the pink cubes and brown cuboids!

Phonics

Run to the Rainbow! Learning Phonics at a young age can be tricky.. that is why it is important to engage the different senses of the child to help them remember and learn the letter sounds! From using sandpaper letters to learn the strokes of the letters to singing songs and even playing games, we make learning meaningful and fun for the kids!

Engaging

Our Pre-Nursery children had an exciting activity planned for them as they read the book "We're Going on a Bear Hunt"! Our teachers are constantly making effort in crafting a more interesting and engaging learning experience for our children everyday!!

Christmas Activities

Character determines how they will perform in life. If they can stand strong when faced with challenges, it will make you feel incredibly proud as a parent.

We believe in building a child's character first while they are still developing. As such, we have designed our entire preschool curriculum beyond just helping your child learn but more importantly, blossom with a beautiful character.

Founding Director

Grace Yong

Grace holds a Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education. She has more than 30 years’ experience in working with children. She is trained in music (piano) and is a certified trainer in thinking skills (Buzan Licensed Instructor) and character education.

She created the program and the curriculum in Character Montessori. She also authored 30 character-based readers used in the center’s reading program for 4 – 6 year old children.

It is her dream to lay strong research-based staff training methodology for the preschool-sector.

Being a mother of four sons, Grace Yong is emphatic about the importance of quality education for children and thus became one of the first in Asia to introduce Mind Mapping to preschoolers with a mission to raise the quality of schooling available for infants and young children.

After receiving amazing feedback, it has now evolved into our flagship Character Development Program.

Our Unique Way of Teaching Will Surprise You

Our teachers conducted a baking activity for our children based on the story "What an Odd Cupcake!" written by Founding Director Grace Yong. It teaches the children the importance of learning ATTENTIVENESS! Children grow up today often glued to their parents' smartphones or iPads and as a result, have shorter attention spans. Many lack the ability of focusing because of their constant need for brain stimulation. That is why it is part of our curriculum to build our children's attentiveness and discipline, which would ultimately benefit them in the future when they begin tackling many hours of lessons in Primary School
