Kinderland

Just to share.

I just sent my kid to kinderland@MOE. My child is turning 3 this year and her class has 20 kids! They do everything in that classroom without windows i,e eating, singing, sleeping...etc. There are very little toys, maybe some old set of lego in the classroom. looks depressing. I am having doubts about the cramp environment and the place look very run down. I must say that the teachers are ok and the kids there are very well behave.

Now I am not sure if I should switch her out. anyone has got advise?

Can I find out if other branches of kinderland have the practise of purchasing field trip photos/ celebration photos (i.e. CNY, National day)?


Does other kinderland have a interactive website / portal/ FB to communicate with the parents ?

sadly there's no facebook updates and they use the old fashion way to update parents. No pictures updates.

[TwinstarsMummy]

Yes… it is very backward of doing such updates. Shows that they dont really catch up with the times. What to do?

Hi, just to share our honest experience with Kinderland Sunshine place… Same operator as CCK


They encouraged reading, no homework, no spelling until very late in K2… And the spelling were words like one, two, three … Ten. We got very worried…when we compared with friends’ kids in other pre-schools. But kids turned out to cope well in P1.

They put in a lot of efforts in year end concert instead. It turned out it helped the kids confidence and both are not at all afraid or shy at show and tell in school.

There was a Mrs Goh who had left the school. She kept encouraging us to read to them and keep reading. Something we deeply appreciate.

that's good to know. Every center is different as it is the teachers that made the difference. I also think that every pre-school has their own plus and minus points.

My 3 year old daughter's class has 22 students and I often wonder how the 2 teachers cope. So far, they don't have outings or any play or concerts..etc. I have no idea what they do in school. Perhaps they just play with each other as there is no toys except for a set of old lego in her classroom.
