To be the most sought-after school academically, morally, mentally, socially and spiritually; to raise scholars that are champions in the 21st century and beyond.
Welcome to The Cradle Montessori School
We are a thriving educational community of pupils whose parents/guardians have decided for their children/wards to study here for specific reasons: well-trained staff, an intensive curriculum, and a stimulating learning environment.
What We Offer
We offer quality education for your child, with our high-skilled and qualified teachers.
At The Cradle Montessori School, we understand that the earliest years are the foundation of a child’s development. Our creche provides a safe, caring, and stimulating environment where your little ones can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.
With experienced caregivers and age-appropriate activities, we focus on nurturing each child’s social, emotional, and cognitive development. Our program encourages curiosity, creativity, and early learning, ensuring that every child feels loved and supported.
We are dedicated to providing peace of mind to parents, knowing that their child is in the best hands during these important first steps of their educational journey.
The early years of a child’s education are crucial for brain development and lay the foundation for future learning, behavior, and health. Positive experiences, especially stable relationships and supportive environments, promote healthy development, helping children reach key milestones. During this time, they explore a world beyond home, making new friends, engaging in play, and interacting with adults, all of which shape their growth and success.
Extra-curricular activities
Extra-curricular activities can help to boost pupils’ academic performance, and develop valuable skills. They contribute to boosting one’s self-confidence and overall personal development.
We have various clubs such as Swimming, Karate, Music, Ballet and Red Cross.

CRADLE MONTESSORI SCHOOL THIRD TERM NEWSLETTER
May 1st 2025
Dear Parents,
We hope this newsletter finds you in good health and high spirits. As we embark on the third term of this academic year, we are excited to share some highlights and important updates from The Cradle Montessori School.
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE: Our pupils have continued to excel academically, demonstrating perseverance, creativity, and a thirst for knowledge. We are immensely proud of their achievements. Our dedicated staff have been at their best to ensure each child reaches his/her full potential. As we progress through the term, we encourage parents to maintain open communication with teachers to ensure adequate support for their child’s academic and social journey.
Kindly note that the Third Term Promotion Examination will be based on a cumulative of the First, Second, and Third term curricula. Pupils who do not meet the required grade point average may not be promoted to the next class.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: The third term has begun with a plethora of extracurricular activities aimed at fostering holistic development. From aerobics/karate to ballet to music & swimming lessons, to the STEM Fair, there’s something for every pupil to explore their passions and talents beyond the classroom. We urge parents to encourage their children to participate actively in these enriching experiences.
PARENT-TEACHER COLLABORATION: We strongly believe in the power of collaboration between parents and teachers. Your involvement plays a crucial role in your child’s academic success and overall well-being. We invite you to attend Parents-Teachers Conference/Individualised Education Plan (IEP) meetings, where crucial information as regards school policies and the academic and behavioural performance of your child will be discussed.
PARENTS’ FEEDBACK: Your feedback is invaluable as we strive for continuous improvement. We welcome your suggestions, concerns, and ideas to enhance the Cradle School experience for your child and our entire school community.
