PCF/PAP Kindergartens

apolsp:

Yesterday I was able to visit the PCF Spice at Serangoon North Avenue 1 for my son whose entering Nursery.


I was very impressed with the environment, it was so colorful with a lot of decorations on the walls and ceiling to entice the kids and motivate them

It look so new , fresh and clean and I have observed their toilets and it was clean too. So far so good

I may not have a high standards than others but over-all-- the materials, the surroundings and the entire school aura is very good. It's quite big actually.

When I spoke to the nursery teacher, she's very warm, patient and she discussed to me in details. I like her personality! I am asking her about situations wherein what if the child misbehaves how does she handle? What if they are fighting? How do they discipline kids when at school? What if the child throws tantrum? How do you handle kids who cannot cope with the lessons really well? Do you spend time teaching him more?

She was able to answer me in a nice way and though it was quite general i was able to pick up some pointers too on how to react when my kid misbehaves.

I should say I just wanted to gauge how 'strict' they are in enforcing discipline to children and to those who have behavioural problems. I am sure that my questions have something to do with how I want my kids to be disciplined when they are in school. Seems like our conversation was fine with me, nothing to be alarmed about.

As for the worksheets, it looks the same with my K1. My K1 was a mixture of Montessori and the MOE too. Learning through play etc. Their worksheets are MOE Standards too. So I guess PCF is just as good as other schools around. So now, I want to transfer my K1 too

That's all for now. I just like SPICE!

Wow.... sounds like there are few good comments about PCF. There were rumours that PCF's standard is not well-prepared for Primary 1, after reading I am totally impressed.

Buds,


Truly appreciate for your kind advise and encouragement.

Are you organising any teaching classes for pre-schoolers? I am sure my son will benefit a lot from you.

Our daily program

8-10 : School
11-1 : Nap
Noon: Do total 4-10pages of varities of assessments (simple addition, numbering dot to dot, spot differences, maze, writing, drawing, first letter sound) I choose 1-3 different workbooks daily. Everyday a different set.

After 9pm: recite Lun Yu few times & reading stories to him 1-3 books (a must)

Reading aloud by himself based on P&J-1-3 pages daily, 5 times a week.

Chinese assessment - only once a week.

Arts and craft - we have not been doing it for a month. Will start soon.

Lapbooking - twice a month as really have no time.

Sat/Sun- outdoor play, visiting friends/relatives, enrichment.

Wow, you are fortunate to have mom reading to you. I didn't. Nobody coach me on reading when i were young.

Hi Lu,

It is quite easy. Just get a template to work on it. He do it with my instruction.
