We feel that it is very easy for her to learn and understand what we teach her. She learns fast and
understands very well, which have a lot to do with her study experiences at the Centre and those
experiences
are important to her success at the school. Whatever the teachers teach her, she is able to
accomplish and
done well. She has ideas about how to approach any new subjects assigned. She is quiet and behaves
herself
very well now. I believe that her two years' experience at the Choo Choo Train helped and still help
a lot.

I wanted to share a review for my son's
daycare
experience under your exceptional guidance: the very first thing that comes to my mind for this
Montessori
Learning Center is: "Exemplary Teacher, Endless Growth". Our son's time at ChooChooTrain Montessori
has been
an incredible journey of discipline, dance, etiquettes, rapid learning, and individual development,
all thanks
to Ms. Cindy, Mr. Wang and Ms. Catherine! Ms. Cindy's unwavering commitment to instilling discipline
in a
nurturing manner has helped our son develop important life skills. Moreover, her emphasis on
etiquettes and
manners has given our son a strong foundation of social grace. We are immensely grateful for Ms.
Cindy's
ability to engage our son as a quick learner, consistently challenging and inspiring him to reach
new heights.
Thank you all the staff for being extraordinary mentors and leaving an indelible impact on our son's
daycare
journey. Highly recommended!

Our son had been in the Choo Choo Train
Montessori Learning Centre for about more than half a year before he went to the Kindergarten. He
did not stay
in the Centre for too long, but we felt the significant changes happened to him. He has been
successfully
emerged himself into the Kindergarten learning process. We believe that this is because the good
foundations
the Centre has built for him. We are very surprised about his progress in English because he only
spoke
Chinese before he went to the Centre! In the meantime, he can still think in both Chinese and
English! It is
amazing that he switches the two languages with no problem at all! And he likes to tell us what
happens at
school, among the classmates and classes.
My daughter has been in the
Kindergarten class of
the Montessori for more than half a year. I feel pretty good about the class. My daughter is
familiar with the
learning contents of the class as she has learned them while she was in the Choo Choo Train
Montessori
Learning Centre. Therefore, she has no any difficulty of the transition and her teacher is happy
about it. My
daughter learns fast and performs well with everything the teacher taught her. At the last Parent -
Teacher
Conference, her teacher commented that her drawing was outstanding because she completed the book
from the
very first page till the last one! I knew that she did well because she had been exposed to all
these in the
Centre and she should have no problems. Comparing the study loads of math and English at the Choo
Choo Train,
the school's are much less.
I personally have been in the preschool
related
education work for over ten years. I enrolled my son in the Choo Choo Train and after a few months
attending
this child care, my kid has progressed in many ways and become a more responsible person. My son
used to be
very shy and didn't like to express himself. He easily had temper tantrum over anything he didn't
like. He was
never responsible for his acts like he didn't care much in learning anything and had no patience to
even sit
through a proper meal. I firmly believe that my son has changed so much better after attending Choo
Choo
Train, and his behavior is obviously much improved. Thanks to the great education work done from
Choo Choo
Train, your basic teaching, idea, persistence, patience, enthusiasm and encouragement are the
fundamental
ingredients for the success for our young generation. I strongly suggest that other children should
come to
join and feel the love and warmth of Choo Choo Train Family.
After attending Choo Choo Train for
2-weeks, my
daughter has drastically changed. She has become very independent and insisted on doing things
herself like
put on shoes and dress herself. She really takes pride in doing many things herself since. My
daughter now has
self-disciplines that she learned from Choo Choo Train and she's imposing the rules she learned and
followed
on our family as well. I can feel she becomes very happy for her eagerness to go early every morning
to the
center and wanted to hang around there longer at the end of the day. My daughter is a happy cheerful
disciplined kid. All are attributed...our great thanks Choo Choo Train.
Choo Choo Train provides a clean spacious
homey
learning environment for my son. Through the center teaching system, my son has become very
confident,
developed a strong sense of right goals in life, as well as improved communication skill with the
family.
Therefore, consequently the family and the Choo Choo Train have great communication as well. The
parents have
no worries… knowing that their children are happy at Choo Choo Train.
Thanks to you Choo Choo Train.
My daughter Ava began her experience at
Choo Choo
Train Montessori Learning Centre when she was two and half. The staff were very nurturing, patient
and
energetic. Ava always extremely excited to attend her day care and to explore and play with her
friends. Ava
was always challenged and her needs were always met. Choo Choo Train as a whole was always open to
communicating with us to further meet the needs of our daughter. They have dedicated parental
meetings every
half year to update us the latest developments of our daughter and assisting us to plan for future.
Choo Choo
Train has been integral part of my daughter's social, emotional and academic growth.
Thank you for an amazing two years!
My daughter, Claire, has been with Choo Choo
Train for
more than a year. Like many parents, I consider it a highest priority to help my 3-year-old grow to
her full
potential, but even more important than that, I want my girl to lean to love, to be compassionate,
to have
discipline and to be respectful as she grows up. In a world that increasingly seen people giving up
ethics and
integrity to temptation and selfishness, I can only protect my kids by planting the seeds of love
and
righteousness into their hearts so that when the time comes, they will know how to make the right
choice. It
gives me peace of mind knowing that these are exactly the things teacher Cindy has been helping my
daughter
with. I am really glad that I have made the right choice. In this ever changing world, it is
comforting to
know that the essence of humanity stands against the trial of time. I found a teacher that truly
holds belief
in them and is able to pass them on to the children she cares. I will not hesitate to recommend Choo
Choo
Train to any parents that want their child to set on a right path of his/her life from the very
beginning.
