hihi


thks for the info on blk 157 pcf .
it one of mine option for mine gal too, the other is TPMC, as both offer N1. and both is near the central.

But personally i think $170/mth for PCF is on the high side.
Cos usually people will think PCF is the cheapest option when comes to pre sch edu. By setting the base at $170/mth, this allow others kinder to set much higher sch fee. And the system dun have much subsiy for kinder education, compare to childcare.

Hi,

Just want to do some justice to Zion Bishan. My girl is in the N1 class since beginning of this year and she was the one who took longest to settle down (ard 2 months then stop crying). However, her teachers are still very patient and caring towards her and will update me on her progress when I fetch her back from school. After 2 months of crying, she finally settled down and enjoy going to school alot.

The school updates the parents regularly thr’ newsletters and her teachers are very approachable and friendly. They have meet the parents session end of each semester which the teachers will tell you more about your child’s progress and give you a checklist to indicate your child’s proficiency level in some of the tasks done.

The school environment is generally clean and neat and has its own playground and music room. Overall, I would say its considered quite good for a kindergarten. Maybe the only drawback is the curriculum not "chim" enough (eg no spelling and 听写).

Think the $170 is only for N1. I registered my gal at at TP East. Fees for N1 is $160. However, for Nursery to K2, is $105 - $115.

I asked them about the fees before and they said is cos of fewer students than in the usual class.
