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. - Elaine Zhang

Testimonials
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.
