[mui2203]

it’s true… i also dun like the hassle to switch kids if not due to financial condition… ok. Will survey the environment first. but i wanted to know how old is yr kids? and how do u find PCF curriculum and their teaching?

Hi Mui2203,


My boy was at Punggol East PCF. My main reason of switching was the teacher turnover rate was high. Within 3 mths, they changed 3 teachers . Which is your child kindy now ? May be it’s the same as my boy.

Harloooo...

What is the reason for not sending your child to any PCF/PAP related programme? Be it their playgroup or K1/2?

Please share. Many thanks

The reason for not sending my ds2 to the same pcf that ds1 has attended is that I find the curriculum not rigorous enough for P1 preparation.

If my area have the 'premium' programme, then I will probably consider as it is a whole different ballgame.

Hi, my name is Bernie, and I just joined, even though I've been lurking for quite some time.

My DD is 3 and a half, and I'm starting to consider kindergarten options for her now. I'm trying to decide between PAP and the private ones. Any opinions from fellow neighbors in the Jurong East area?

Thanks!

hi SGMoms,

unless a parent happens to have a kid who had gone through both school's curriculum, it is difficult to compare both. read up/discuss on the threads separately would have given you a better informed choice.
