Testimonials
“I enrolled my son at MMI when he was 3. He was diagnosed with speech delay back then and improved tremendously after starting school. At 4 years old, he caught up with speech development and did well in other aspects as well. The teachers are wonderful, my boy likes them a lot and they always try their best to help him.
My boy loves the school so much that he got upset when he realized he had to leave MMI and go to primary school. The teachers spent time talking to him to allay his concerns, doing their utmost to prepare him for primary school and to ensure a smooth transition.
He has now settled comfortably in his new primary school. My child had an amazing time in MMI, I highly recommend MMI for preschool education”.
Mr & Mrs Lee, Parents of Lee Pin Xian from Advanced Enrichment
“I was extremely impressed by how this school, MMI handles teaching its students. I’ve seen first-hand how efficient their teaching methods are.
My children, Prince, Jaden, & Alden are academically advanced for their age. I also appreciate how this school made my children more confident in themselves. They now have a higher self-esteem, and very well-adjusted when they transferred to a bigger school.
Salute to MMI for making my kids equipped and prepared for their educational journey and be assured I shall recommend you to my fellow parents in a heartbeat.
Thank you & MMI for all the support given to our family, well appreciated!”
