That's interesting... that's when my girl will be starting too! The N1 class. Guess they'll be friends there.

hihi


i guess she will be in your girl's class after sept... i was informed that my girl can only attend the toddlers class...and be 'promoted' to n1 after sept...

then your girl can probably show her the ropes

Don’t be fooled by kinderland academy’s on the whole curriculum or safe caring environment as the principal claims. Visited during lunch and was shocked at the food being served to the children there. Plain rice,almost water clear soup and sausages in some kind of tomato sause. When i looked at the menu,they were supposed to be serving claypot rice on that day.


While checking around with other freinds who used to have kids in kinderland,they commented that they have a high withdrawal rate due to the menu. Food is not healthy and the school is stingy with the portions given to kids.

Also,the teacher put a nice sweet front infront of parents. But behind closed doors there is alot of shouting and even the teacher tease the children( got this info from the kitchen aunt who used to work there). The principal is also ver pretentious and i can tell frm the way she suddenly shows attention to the kids infront of us parents. Kind of sick actually.

I won’t pay so much to put my child in a so called "branded" school when such things are going on behind closed doors.

It's my wife who's doing the initiation :), not me. I think my girl needs to get back into the rythm of playing in a group again - she's been out for almost a month. She says she had fun.

BTW... there's no nursery classes in Schoolhouse. So I guess your daughter and mine are indeed in the same toddler class. That almost makes us family

My daughter loves the school. She has a lot of fun there too. The gym exercises are really good at making her bounce around. She can even do head rolls by herself now... a feat that she refused to do during her earlier Saturday ABGS gym lessons.

And yes, have to adjust her to sleep later in the morning to stay awake in the afternoon!

Guess we will be staying there for a while - so it's time to buy the uniform :).

mmy88,

which kinderland branch are u talking about here? is it the one at Marine Parade? I just called them and they said got 30% discount if i sign up this month, and they provide bus service to my place in Tampines. I’m so tempted to enrol my kid there already, pls share more experience with me…
