Hi, anyone has experience with the Kinderland at Siglap?


Hi MMM, can I check if the teachers at Kinderland MP are caring? Have you seen instances of how they try to settle those crying kids in the morning when the parents drop off their kids?

For most of the kinderland MP teachers, they have been around for years. So far I feel that they are experienced in handling the kids. Eg. when my no. 3 cried for the 1st week, the teachers reassured us that they will handle that. Some assistant teachers even "carried" the kids around or bring them around for a walk round the school to calm them, etc…


Kids usually cry only in the initial period. They usually "outgrow" that subsequently.

Anyone have any feedback on Kinderland Tampines Safra? Am thinking of sending my kid there.

I sent my dd there when we shifted over to pasir ris. Teachers are nice and caring, Mrs Noor the principal is also very nice. A pity I need to withdraw her cos of the travelling. She needs to wake up early for school bus and reaches home almost an hour later.

Go down and have a feel of the school.

Was hoping to find some feedback on Kinderland at Upper Serangoon.


We viewed the place recently. The principal sounds good. We've no issue with the environment as well as cirriculm. BUT something caught my attention when I was there. It was the way one of the K1 teachers spoke (level of spoken english) and the way she handles the kids. I cannot imagine leaving my child in her care. :shock:

The principal suggested that I sit in for the other teacher. I've not hear her speak so I can't tell at this point. Was hoping that any parents who send their kids to Upper Serangoon Kinderland K1 program to feedback on the teaching staff. Particularly K1 teachers.

My son is in Kinderland YCK K2, full day. I am pleased with his progress since he joined in the middle of K1. He has became more independent, and adapt well to a class size of 20. This is impt for his P1. His previous sch at Chiltern House only has a class size of 6, which is too small and too drastic a change when he goes to P1. He is also able to converse well in mandarin, as the chinese teacher is present every afternoon. This is more ideal than his previous sch, where the chinese is taught for only an hour. The food is quite good, according to my son. It is prepared in the canteen, so children will have warm food. The cleaners mop the floor every day. It is really quite clean. My son hardly fall sick now, as compared to being sick every mth in the previous sch. It is also big and airly. Overall, I am pleased and I would recommend it to other parents.

Is there a sch bus service for Kinderland YCK? how many teachers are there to the class size of 20?

Hi MMM


I went down to Kinderland MP to recee for a pre-nursery for my DD. Whilst they do not have an outdoor area, they have a gym for children to do physical activities. Is this gym really useful for them? Do you know what kind of activities are conducted?

Thanks!

Any recent reviews for Kinderland at Crescent Rd, Katong?

My dd just started to go to Kinderland at Marine Parade, but I am considering changing to childcare.

Any parents know about Starlearners Childcare in Eunos?
New branch is open at Katong, too.
I will appreciate any comments. Thanks!

The \"gym\" that you mentioned I think is the assembly area. They used it during their \"PE\" lesson (kinderfit). In addition, Kinderland also has a tie up with some japanese gym instructor. This only applies to those that sign up for the program.

Hi, I visited Kinderland @ PV lately.


I'm impressed by the orientation by the VP - Mrs Prema, bilingual in English & Chinese. The school & classrooms are spacious.

However, as I have heard & read comments about their \"entrance\", I was indeed surprised to confirm it. The entrance is at Basement 1, in between 2 rubbish chutes. When I went in the morning, cleaners were emptying and washing the chutes, hence the floors are wet and smelly. The second time I went, there were rats gathering in the drains in front of the chutes.

I'm really puzzled with the choice of the visitor's entrance, as they have a lovely gate next to the greenery with a stairs leading up as a grand entrance. Maybe the stairs to some may be a deterring factor, but rubbish chutes and rats ... sigh ...

I the management will do something about it ... the hygiene factor is critical for kids this young.
