Parent Experience

History
Josiah Montessori was started by three engineers who were good friends in an MNC company; they decided to combine their business ambitions with their wives' difficulties finding a good preschool. Josiah Montessori was born in March 1997. Josiah Associates Pte Ltd is the corporate entity behind Josiah Montessori. Wendy Tan and Lena Lim serve as the directors and founders of Josiah Montessori. Josiah operates a network of centres across Singapore, including Plaza 8@CBP in Changi Business Park, Suntec City Mall, Aperia, Pasir Ris, Tampines Mart and Raffles Place.

Community

Parents report ongoing updates and involvement, reflecting a communicative and engaged school community.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
