“The more ways we learn something, in more situations, with more intelligences, more emotions, more forms of media, the more we will embed that learning” -Eric Jensen (1997)
At Our Children’s House, we take a multi-modal approach, using Montessori (individualised and differentiated) activities as a framework for building on each child’s individualised learning, and augmenting the children’s development with thematic, play and inquiry based curriculum. Our goal is to ensure that every child has a good foundation from an early age and to be fully prepared for primary school. As children have different learning styles, abilities, and multi-intelligences (Gardner, 1983), it is our approach to help our children learn and develop according to their abilities and needs.
I am Nabanita Das Sircar, the principal of Our Children’s House International Childcare and Director of Our Children’s House Montessori Preschool at Clementi. I have over 27 years of experience in this sector as a teacher and a leader. I am a director in our other branch, Our Children’s House Montessori Preschool.
I have an MSc. in Early Childhood Education from Boston University and did my Montessori training in the United States. I am a fully qualified Montessori Directress as well as qualified trainer for WSQ courses. I conduct in-house staff training on a regular basis and oversee the curricula for our Nursery 2 and Kindergarten children.
I have 2 daughters, aged 25 and 24 years. My older child is working with the London Stock Exchange Group in London as a Senior Product Manager – Equities Trading after graduating from Yale-NUS College in 2019. And my younger child is working with Climate Analytics in New York after obtaining her master’s from Yale University and bachelor’s degree from Oxford University.
I believe, as parents, we are our children’s first teachers. Our involvement in their growth and well-being should encompass their academic as well as social-emotional development. I wish to bring the same zeal for learning and excellence, that my own children have gone through, to the children in our school.
Hi, I am Carolyn Li, the Director of Our Children’s House International Childcare Centre and Our Children’s House Montessori Preschool. I am a fully qualified Montessori Directress, with an international diploma in Montessori pedagogy from the Montessori Centre International (London). I am also fully qualified as a teacher and leader in Early Childhood under ECDA. I have several years’ experience working as a preschool teacher, as well as being a manager at a Montessori preschool.
Previously, I had worked as a lawyer for 7 years in Singapore, before moving to London, UK for 10 years, where I worked extensively with my elder son who was then diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD IV). I have written an article, “Overcoming Autism Spectrum Disorder- A Mother’s Journey from Diagnosis to Adulthood” which is available online at: autismovercomingparent.blogspot.com/?m=1.
I have 2 sons, now 23 and 25 years old. The younger graduated from Raffles Junior College with 4 distinctions and was awarded a scholarship to study computer science in Canada, while my elder son with the early diagnosis of autism, has completed his chemical engineering course at university and is currently working. I believe strongly in positive parenting and positive reinforcements to motivate children in their learning. My vision is to see our children develop holistically, in a happy and secure environment.
