Testimonials
"I'm so glad that I joined Queenie's Inner Circle. She's helpful, resourceful, knowledgeable and very experienced with young children. I learnt a lot during these 12 weeks, going from a clueless parent to understanding children's development, how they learn, what activities to do to engage and stimulate my babies, their emotion, diet...everything I need to know to be able to respond better to my babies' needs. It's so great to have a qualified early childhood educator to guide me along. I'm looking forward to joining her other courses too! She's never failed to lead me to view things from a different perspective."
Clare Wong, Malaysia
"This course has changed my view about children and now I see things from a child's perspective. With this skill, it really helps me in making any decision wisely, be it the way I teach, what toys to buy, or what activities to plan for my child. If I'm stuck, I don't worry, encyclopaedia Queenie is there for me. I can ask the most silly questions but Queenie will definitely give me a solution that is very practical and do-able."

"Ms Queenie Tan's private sessions and talks were fantastic. Really informative and helpful....so is her book! My son is still 2 years old and I had no idea about parenting before but now I find parenting much more fun than I expected! The more I learn about it from Queenie, the more intrigued I become."
Mayumi, Japan
"We are spoilt parents as my 2 year old daughter always liked going to bed. So one day when she suddenly started a screaming fit every time it was time to sleep, we were pretty helpless and turned to Queenie for advise. We followed her suggestion to jazz up the evening routine a bit and that worked instantly. Our daughter was happy to start her bed time routine again. Thanks to Queenie for teaching us how to be creative in parenting!"
Britt, Germany
"After joining her programs - Bringing Montessori Home and Inner Circle for Parents, my view about early childhood development and parenting style have changed. Now, I'm a better informed Mum with greater knowledge (although I'm still learning). I'm happy to see positive changes on my son. Thanks to Queenie for her sharing and assistance whenever I needed her help, she's always there for us and is very supportive."
