Odyssey Global Preschool@ Wilkinson (Mountbatten)

Anyone can advise me? How is nursery in odyssey like? What are the various points I need to take note of in nursery?

I think in nursery, teachers’ care for the children, hygiene and fund but structured curriculum are important. For me, Odyssey so far has been satisfying in all of these areas.

Hi parents,

Are there any parents who still have kids in Wilkinson? I went for a school visit recently and was quite disappointed. I felt that the person showing me around (who was not the Principal) could not impress me with the school and the school sounded quite normal. I really like the outdoor space but wonder about the teachers and the curriculum. Are the teachers caring and is the curriculum fun and engaging for the kids?
I would really appreciate updated feedback!

I sent my child to Odyseey Preschool at Still Road campus but lived to regret it. She was literally bullied by her head teacher because we expressed our dissatisfaction with various things like their extreme exposure to youtube video, the inappropriate content shown to children, their lack of outdoor activities, teacher’s negativity. We brought these issues up on a Friday with the center director and our child was specifically identified, ostracized and bullied by the head teacher on the following Monday. Her head teacher even told her that she had to go to a new school. That made her felt rejected, sad and emotionally devastated as my child looked up to this teacher and felt that she had done something drastically wrong to deserve such treatment.


Curriculum wise, she learnt next to nothing in her 3 months there. She watched tons of video on Youtube and picked up random words of mandarin. Still road has a huge campus with ample outdoor space but it’s just a white elephant. Activities are confined to a tiny space in the front poach. In her 3 months there, she never had waterplay … although we were told to leave her swim costumes in school for such activities. Regardless of activities or curriculum, the worst experience was with the teachers. Besides being bullied and emotionally traumatized by the head teacher, the Chinese is constantly on her phone, messaging! 7 out of 10 times I see her, she’d be on the phone while watching over the kids.

We pulled her out of Odyssey the same day we learnt about the mistreatment and it’s been 1.5 months since my child enrolled in a new school. In her short 3 weeks at the new school, my child can recite some chinese poems though not perfect, did regular art works and enjoy playtime everyday. I’m glad we pulled our child out early and she’s in a much happier and educationally conducive environment now. Her new teachers really cared and ultimately, that’s what matters if your child spends more than half a day at the center. By the way, my child is in N2 this year.

Anyone else have more feedback about this school? I am keen to send my son to Odyssey @ Wilkinson once he turned 18 months. I am attracted by their all chinese tots group.

I just went to visit the still road campus… it’s pretty scary considering that it’s just newly open in august. Any more reviews please?


Is it a trend for kids to be shown YouTube videos?
