My kid will join P1 student care ctr at Columbia Jurong West next year.


The principal told me timetable v pack, not even encourage to take a shower before go to the school in the afternoon session as might miss out the tuition lessons.

They very emphasis the academic results as placed on the memo board…do not know is it the right environment for my kid? Hopefully will not scare her off as her child care centre more fun theme oriented.

Hi everyone! im a newbie hence would appreciate any sort of advice for all the experts out there I am thinking of enrolling my 35mths old boy at the above centre for a full day program. We went over and were impressed by the explaination and curriculum laid out to us. But it would be better if anyone here could give me a feedback on these centre before i decide further. any mommies have kids there?

Hi YqYq,

I'm also considering this Columbia Student Care and read that u hv enrolled ur child there.

How do you find this Columbia Student Care? Does ur child like this place? Do the teachers ensure all school homework are completed at student care?

THanks for your feedback.

My kid joined in last Dec and I withdraw her in May. Even forfeited my deposit. They don't allow homework bring to centre to do coz their timetable squeezed with group tuition from 9am - 11am. Then lunch till 11.30pm and start packing to school by 11.45pm, reach school before 12pm. My kid will be wandering at school from 12 - 12.30pm before assembly.

Not encouraged shower before go to school, and breakfast will be either 5's biscuits or 2 slices of bread with jam on alternate days. Lunch catered by outside and not bad.

Teachers quite dedicated but environment so so...as too many students in the centre especially during holiday as Morning and afternoon session students wil be there together.

Hope the info can serve you well...

Hi all,


My child has been with Columbia Academy @ TT for a few months. I can see positive improvements (discipline and language ability) within my child. His mandarin level has improved drastically. So far, I do not send for my child for any enrichment course. I find that the school is suffice to provide strong academic base for my child.

Hi mummies,

Any comments on Columbia Junior Academy @ 2 Havelock Road (next to MOM)? Have viewed the centre and I am impressed by their curriculum and the environment.

Thanks!

Hi mummies, I am recently also get interested in this school, due to I let my 21 mths boy trying the little skool international school, and felt there quiet disappointed to me. I strongly like a place where have dedicated teacher, strong focus in learning new things, activities etc. Hence, any feedback to the Havelock road centre?
