Playgroup in Singapore

At Amazing Star Montessori, our Montessori Playgroup in Singapore offers a nurturing, hands-on environment where toddlers aged 18 months to 3 years learn through purposeful exploration.

Through real-life activities and sensory experiences, toddlers gain essential life skills while developing a deep love for learning.

Singapore Playgroups
for Toddlers

At Amazing Star Montessori, we believe that the earliest years of a child’s life lay the foundation for everything that follows. Our Montessori Playgroup in Singapore, designed for children aged 18 months to 3 years, creates a calm, caring, and engaging environment where toddlers learn naturally through exploration and purposeful activity.

Every aspect of our Early Years Program reflects authentic Montessori principles, encouraging independence, movement, and hands-on discovery. Instead of passive learning or unstructured play, our toddlers engage in meaningful tasks that build concentration, coordination, and confidence.

Our dedicated Montessori educators gently guide each child according to their individual pace, nurturing curiosity and self-expression. Through activities in Practical Life, Sensorial Learning, Language, and Movement, children begin to understand the world around them while developing essential life skills.

More than a typical playgroup in Singapore, our Toddler Program Singapore offers a holistic experience where learning happens through real-life experiences. We provide a beautiful, child-centered environment where little hands are busy, minds are active, and hearts are happy.

For families looking for convenient options, Amazing Star Montessori also offers playgroup and early years programmes at our other locations, including Bukit Panjang, Choa Chu Kang and Yishun. These centres provide the same warm, nurturing Montessori environment, ensuring every child receives consistent, high-quality early education wherever you are located in Singapore.

At Amazing Star Montessori, we don’t just prepare children for preschool; we prepare them for life.

Exploring the Core Areas
of Montessori Learning

Amazing Star Montessori classrooms are designed to promote independence and exploration. They are organised into different areas, such as:

Practical Life

Practical life activities equip children with essential life skills that foster independence, responsibility, and confidence. Tasks such as pouring, buttoning, and sweeping build fine motor control, concentration, and coordination. These activities align with children's natural interests, encouraging self-discipline and preparing them for more complex academic challenges with confidence and precision. Ultimately, they help children become masters of their own environment and self-care.

Sensorial

Our sensorial curriculum refines children's senses, enhancing their ability to observe, compare, and classify the world around them. Using carefully designed materials such as color tablets, sound cylinders, and touch boards, children develop their sensory perception and lay the groundwork for future learning, particularly in mathematics. Sensorial activities help children sharpen their visual, auditory, and tactile skills, fostering deeper cognitive development.

Language

Language development is nurtured through a phonetic-based, multi-sensory approach that builds strong literacy skills. Children are introduced to phonetic sounds through materials like sandpaper letters and movable alphabets, gradually progressing to word-building, grammar, and writing. Through storytelling, reading exercises, and structured phonics lessons, children develop a rich vocabulary and effective communication skills in a fun and engaging environment.

Mathematics

Montessori mathematics introduces children to numerical concepts through concrete, hands-on materials that make abstract ideas more tangible. Using number rods, bead chains, and other specialized materials, children grasp foundational concepts such as quantity, sequencing, and problem-solving. The Montessori approach ensures a natural progression from concrete to abstract thinking, fostering a deeper understanding of mathematical relationships.

Creative Expression

Art, music, and movement play an essential role in reinforcing learning and self-expression. Children participate in creative projects, engage in rhythmic activities, and explore artistic techniques that stimulate their imagination and build their confidence. Additionally, cooking experiences and field trips provide hands-on learning opportunities that enrich their overall development.

Chinese Language

Our Chinese language program is specially designed to build a strong foundation in a fun and immersive environment. Through songs, rhymes, reading, and storytelling, children develop confidence in speaking Mandarin while expanding their vocabulary. A language-rich setting encourages exploration and provides children with the key to understanding Chinese culture.

Physical Development

Through hands-on activities, balancing, and movement exercises, toddlers strengthen coordination and motor skills, building confidence as they learn to move, climb, and explore safely.

Cognitive Development

Montessori materials encourage curiosity and problem-solving. Toddlers learn to focus, match, and classify objects, developing early reasoning and concentration skills in a natural way.

Language Development

Our teachers create a language-rich environment filled with songs, stories, and conversation. Every interaction helps toddlers expand their vocabulary and express themselves clearly and confidently.

Social Development

We foster independence, empathy, and self-regulation through gentle routines and cooperative play. Toddlers build friendships, learn to share, and develop trust in caring relationships with their teachers and peers.

A Typical Day at Amazing Star Montessori

Morning Assembly: Building Community

Each day begins with a morning assembly, where children from mixed-age groups (ages 3-6) gather to sing the national anthem and recite the pledge. This shared experience encourages a sense of community and collective responsibility. Older children serve as role models during assembly, demonstrating appropriate behaviors such as where to stand and how to participate, while younger children learn by observing and emulating them. This collaborative environment builds leadership and respect while fostering peer mentorship.

After assembly, children transition to their respective classrooms, where the rest of their learning activities take place.
