My gal is at LSH, by the Vista… lotsa story telling and art craft session. More imptly, they learn to sit, listen, eat n sleep as a class. Its good to learn these things before they start nursury…

Hi Sylpha


The one that my boy will be attending is a 3-hour classes.. so basically play and sing? I am really worried, especially putting a 18 month-old toddler to such schools, who will be prone to illness and stuff.. however it is better than having him alone at home and not able to learn more..

My parents stay in Yishun, so I tot Little Skool House is appropriate.. I thought this is a good forum for parents to share with me if they have also sent their kids to Little Skool House for the same programme at OCC...

Hi i notice there’s no feedback about The Little Skool-House At-Thomson…

I’m thinking of sending my DD there for her Kindergarten years.

If there’s any related info about The Little Skool-House At-Thomson, pls let me know. I visited there last year when we were searching for a Nursery for my DD and was really impressed with the cleanliness & toilet there. The education structure was okay, i notice it would be more worth-it to sent for the full-day(for nursery) there.

But still, any feedback for kindergarden or anything related about The Little Skool-House At-Thomson would be appreciated!

Hi everyone,


Just want to speak out some fairness to the school. My 3yrs old son is currently in Little Skool House at Tampines for a few month already. From my exprience I have seen that most of the new children will cry and atleast a week before getting use I think is rather common for children to cry when they are in a new enviornment. :lol: After that they will start to get along with the teachers like what my son did. :celebrate: I think its unfair to said that the center has alots of HFMD cases. Dun tell me other center dun have... :roll: I feel that it all fall on parents part to ensure yr child hygiene when they are not in school. Just like H1N1, its take a few day for the virus to show. I am not siding the school but just that I feel its really unfair to them. All I can said that my son is learning well from the teachers there. :love:

i just realized that the forum has deleted one of my post abt LSH at Kent Vale. it is alright, but isn’t this forum intending for everyone to share their experience and thoughts, no matter negative or positive???

One of my children used to be from lsh amk.


The receptionist had memorised everything, don't ask her. She is sharp & act accordingly. Talk to the teachers instead.

Unlike the previous principal, the present one is too soft, blur and had done some scopes which shouldn't be her job in the first place. Some of the parents & I wasn't really liked her style of doing.

From diseases' view: every weekends it is very normal to see many other activities going on inside. There are a few times of the year that hfmd spreading from class to class. The cleaner auntie is not that ons, clean as & when she is needed. The entrance door thermometer usu indicates lower temperature.

From academic view: no spelling nor ting xie. Writing is strongly encouraged for parents to do it at houme. Hypy introduced at K2, jolly phonics from N2 onwards. Learning thru play is always the case. Teachers planned the activities, not the mgmt so you need to pray hard for a good caring teacher to handle your child's class otherwise you need to ask everything all over again. There is no academic handover normally. The topics were will paste on the wall.

From motor skills' view: this centre owned a playground solely used by the students. Each class area is big so there are plenty of activities going on.

This ccc is very very popular due to its good location. You will still need to pay enrichment centres for pri. school preparation.

Sorry... I am too straight forward :oops: ...

Hi,


I have always wondered why LSH curriculum are highly raved by many parents and the school has long long waiting list….

While I think the teachers and activities there are pretty good, does the lack on academic focus mean that parents need to do a lot of home coaching to make up for the lack of writing, spelling etc? While enrichment can help, it doesn’t seem right to me that their daily school is more fun and weekend enrichment is more ‘academic’… In fact, I am pretty concerned about the lack of writing activities and am contemplating to switch to my kids to a more academic based kindy from next year onwards. The cost savings are pretty substantial for 2 kids, but the flip-side is the re-adjustment and how to occupy their time during the school holidays…

Any other parents with existing kids or kids who graduated from LSH care to share your experiences and thoughts….:)
