Josiah Montessori was started in March 1997 by three engineers who were good friends in an MNC company. They founded the school to address the difficulty their wives faced finding a good preschool for their toddlers. The school was built on Montessori principles and uses The Josiah Way, emphasizing independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child's developmental needs. Josiah Associates Pte Ltd owns the Josiah brand, as shown by the corporate copyright. The Josiah network has grown into a multi-centre presence in Singapore, including a Raffles Place location at 14 Robinson Road, Far East Finance Building.
The Josiah community centers on active parental engagement and regular communication about children's daily life. The school integrates Musical Arts Programme (MAP) and bilingual learning in English and Mandarin to foster a culturally rich learning environment. Open Houses and the Josiah Children's Festival provide opportunities for families to participate in the school's culture. Josiah Care, Josiah Enrich, and Josiah Online extend family involvement beyond the classroom.
Public materials describe no formal Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) for Josiah Montessori. Parental engagement is supported through regular updates about children's daily life and direct staff communications. The school offers programs such as Josiah Care (early intervention), Josiah Enrich (enrichment), and Josiah Online (home learning) to involve families in the child's learning journey. Families can participate in Open Houses and the Josiah Children's Festival to engage with teachers and staff. Staff contact channels and admissions tours are available via the central Josiah contact details, and tours can be arranged by contacting the school. The Raffles Place centre at 14 Robinson Road is part of the Josiah network and has publicly listed contact details for outreach.
