House on the Hill Montessori emphasises a child-centric approach that supports independence and freedom within limits. Unlike traditional preschools that may follow a more structured, adult-led curriculum, Montessori education encourages children to choose their activities and learn through hands-on experience at their own pace, fostering a sense of responsibility and critical thinking. We instil strong language and mathematical skills to prepare your child for their next step in local or international schools.

While the ideal starting age can vary depending on individual development, House on the Hill Montessori offers programmes starting from infancy, recognising that early years are a critical period for developing a foundation for lifelong learning.
Here are the programmes we offer:

Infant Care: 2-17 months
Playgroup: 1.5-2.5 years

House on the Hill follows the Montessori curriculum and is tailored to ensure children are well-rounded and have a solid foundation in all subjects necessary for academic and life success. It is centred on a hands-on experiential learning approach and is designed to cater to your child’s holistic development.

The curriculum includes Practical Life, Language, Mandarin, Sensorial, Phonics, Mathematics, Culture and Geography, creative expression, and social awareness to nurture independent learning and critical thinking skills.

We also have a Mandarin programme aimed at building a solid foundation for students to listen to, speak, read, and write in Mandarin.

House on the Hill Montessori maintains a low teacher-to-child ratio, allowing personalised attention and guidance. This setup is especially beneficial for our mixed-age classes, a unique feature among House on the Hill Montessori schools that encourages peer learning among different age groups.

Mandarin is a vital part of the House on the Hill curriculum alongside its English curriculum enhancing language acquisition from an early age. We strive to instil a love of the language for each child through engaging and stimulating lessons that will help them achieve a native level of fluency by the time they graduate. Through an immersive and joyful learning experience, your child will be able to listen, read, write, and speak in Mandarin. And will prepare your child for primary school 1 readiness and comprehension.

We also offer a Japanese optional program. This is available once a week at our Balmoral and Mount Sophia schools.

One of the premium offerings of House on the Hill is our bespoke menu plan. From the daily menu of delicious and nutritious food to healthy eating for life-long habits and emotional understanding, our children’s well-being is always prioritised. Developed by a renowned nutritionist, our menu is freshly cooked, and nutritionally balanced, with strictly no added sugar or salt. We are teaching children to choose and appreciate healthy food in the future. It goes beyond eating, children also learn about etiquette and social interactions through food.

Tuition fees can vary depending on the programme and age group. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, please don’t hesitate to contact any of our locations for detailed fee schedules.

Both Mount Sophia and Hollandse Club have a Childcare Licence with a $300 subsidy. Pasir Panjang, which has a Kindergarten Licence, does not offer subsidies.
