Hi winnieng78,


I have visited the Odysse at Alexandra and intend to put my daughter there (N1). What are your experience with this branch?

My husband and I like the place and my kid enjoy her trial class, I talked to her teacher too. The only draw back is that the fee is a bit steep :).

Thanks.

Hi, not sure if you have signed up for Odyssey.


So far, there are not too many local who is attending the school.

My girl is getting on fine there. and I think she is learning.

The only draw back is there is no daily communication book. you will have to talk to the teachers if you have any questions.

About 10 staff members left Odyssey at Alexandra in the last few months, including the principal and curriculum specialists.


All teachers who were the reason for us to choose the Kindergarden have left. At the moment we are very concerned.

The staff turnover is very high. I think this is not good for the children.

Odyssey’s website today 30 Jan 2010 is outdated in repect of staff. Staff which left the school are still shown. We are also not sure whether courses and classes which are shown on the website are still being tought.

The price is too high for the current situation.

Hi, I’m thinking of enrolling my girl in the Odyssey Fourth Ave. It’s a new branch which will be headed by Rupal - who was centre director of another branch previously.


The fees are super steep! But the 6:1 ratio is very appealing to me as my DD is shy.

Does anyone have any sharing of whether the curriciulum prepares the kids properly for Pr1 eventually?? That’s my worry.

Any previous experience with the school to share?

Hi All,


My older girl graduated from Odyssey Wilkinson last year. It was the most amazing time she had since starting pre-school.

The school organises very interesting activities such as an art exhibition at the Arts House.

The school sports day is also something i’ve never seen for a pre-school. It’s so professionally done, it’ll put some primary school to shame.

For their graduation, they performed Cats the Musical. Now my girl is very into musicals and have learnt to appreciate arts!

Most impt of all, this school teaches the kids to enjoy the process of learning. My daughter now comes home from primary school telling me that she enjoys school everyday coz she’s learning things all the time! If she needs help with chinese words, she will automatically go and look it up in the chinese dictionary, which the school taught them how to use.

I’ve registered my 2nd gal at Odyssey Fourth ave. I can’t wait for her to start her learning odyssey with this school!

i decided to sign my girl at odyssey 4th ave. this is her 2nd week of school and though she is still adjusting, I am very pleased with how things are. The teachers are very comforting and reassuring to a crying child. The centre mamager even called me personally on the 3rd day just to let me know how she is doing when I had to run some errands (They actually "allow" us to hang around for 3 days but from 2nd day they initiated to take over my girl so I could see hoiw they cope and manage) I dont know about cirriculum on how well they prepare them for primary education cos my girl is only in the tots program (oh they even made a welcome banner on the door for her) We actually already have a slot in SJCK next yr for PN, I’m wondering if I should carry on in Odyssey or go SJCK. Any mummies with kids in their kindy program can comment ?
