I visited DMS central last Nov. at one point, I considered transferring my son there because of their bilingual environment. It is also closer to my home, so I really wanted to send him there. My daughter went to LM for a few months as well, but that was quite some time ago.
I focused more on their casa classroom as that is age appropriate for my son. I don't know about their toddler program. When I visited the Central branch, I was greeted mostly by the in-charge (a westerner, but not a teacher. she said she used to work in Woodlands). The montessori teacher who took me around is the putonghua teacher from Singapore. the English Montessori teacher seemed too busy with her iphone and notebook to talk to us.
My opinion on their casa class is based on my 1-hour visit: 1. only have basic Montessori tools. Personally, I feel that a good mont classroom should have a wider selection of tools outside the original Montessori design but something that reflects the essence. Their classroom set up looked very bare to me, but that was 4 months ago. 2. not frequent enough school report. I believe they told me an official report would be issued twice during the school year? Now I get a 8 to 10 page report in great details about every skill and tool + 100 or so photos showing me what my son does in class every 3 months, so I might have higher expectation. 3. i just wasn't impressed by the English montessori teacher's attitude. I brought my son with me, and she didn't even bother to be friendly to him, not to mention talking to us.
Again, that is my impression of their casa. Toddler program could be very different. and of course, often it depends on what teacher your child gets. I hope DMS parent won't mind me sharing this. No offence intended.
As for Ms. Ellen, she used to teach my son at his present Mont school. She is truly wonderful. 我個仔18個月入學, 跟左佢14個月, 至升上casa為止. 一返學就唔可以大人陪, 佢同個assistant幫我toilet train個仔, 真係好有心機, 而且對家長有問必答. 大家都知, 外邊好多toddler班都係要大人陪, 有手尾可由家長或工人執, 佢地事事要自己做, 真係少d愛心同耐性都唔得. 我有個朋友個女, 之前跟過佢, 跟住升左大班, 有次呢位媽媽同Ms ellen講起個女脾氣唔好同情緒問題, 令佢好困擾, Ms ellen竟然買左本書送比個小朋友, 內容當然係圍繞呢個小朋友本身問題嘅故事書! 記住, 當時呢個小朋友已升班, 唔係佢學生.
