Hi,

I understood from the PCF principal that the enrollment for N1 are for children born from Y2013 Jan-Jun (those meet the 30months age). I asked the principal again so how about those who are born in Y2013 Jul-Dec, will there be a 2nd intake of N1, but to my disappointment that her reply was subject to vacancies available in June next year. My child is born in December 2013. I called up another PCF centre and they said the same thing.

I wondered how unfair for those who are born the later part of the year. They will only be accepted based on VACANCY of the centre, instead of providing a 2nd intake somewhere in December this year. And I asked them why, they told me it is regulated by ECDA and they just merely following it.

My concern is if there is no vacancy in the PCF centre located just right below my block, I will have to source for another centre further away from my house. Worse is I have to put my child in the nearby childcare and pay a higher cost.

Does anyone encounter the same issue as me? Is this process of enrollment justified? Appreciate anyone can shed some light. Thanks.

Some pcf centres does not know the 30 month enrolment and do not care to find out. If you ask them again after 6 months, same answer do not know. When you had complaint to the hq, then these centers will start to act finding out but they are still not interested to do the 30 month enrolment. They will give you all sorts of answers but you will never able to enrol into their 30 month classes.
If you are lucky, you will get to enrol into an existing class which has empty slots, provided this center had already in 30 month enrolments processes.

Tamarind,


Sorry. My son disturbed me just now. I'm not saying the teacher is not good. Is the arrangement by the school. I know both of them trying their best but I think they cannot cope because Teacher Wu need to teach other classes for Chinese and Teacher Lilian has her own class to take care.

I have read your blog, is slightly different. this year they learn about, movement - gear, pulley system, kinetic energy and potential energy, water - water cycle and now on human body - 5 senses, the brain, disgestive, etc. As for spelling, the words are related to the theme.

Blk 309 is doing Reggio Emilia, different from other PCF centres.

How well-prepared your child is for p1 depends on whether you supplement with external enrichment like phonics class, math class, English class, Chinese class, which is what parents do nowadays to prepare children to P1. A kindergarten is more for learning the very basics and learning to cope in social situations. More advisable to put in kindergarten then to homeschool as the child can grow up to be withdrawn. 没有见过世面。

My friend's child is studying there. Personally, my friend coaches her child at home to prepare for P1 as what the child learns in school is insufficient to meet P1 standard. She told me this 309 do more on project work. Her child enjoyed it. However, the negative feedback was the high turnover of teachers and the previous principal left. As the child will be in the last year, she didn't think about changing school. Hope the info is useful.
