[titank]

Hi All,


Anyone have kids in K1 Berries? DD now having a problem where said not not like Berries, I suspect could be the Teacher may have scold her since the class is rather big.

So either I'm going to finish the whole term or transfer her to another berries to continue. Anyone have good feedback on the K1 berries do the the outlet & timing. Thanks!

I was looking through my sms and found this from Berries :


93.9% scored A & A* in 2010 PSLE Chinese
83.6% got merit/dist. for higher Chinese

Looks like Berries almost can guarantee good results

Hi LLX04, Glad that your kids love it. But I don't feel that not having much homework is a good thing... But if your gals love it and made improvements then it should be fine. Berries seems like a great place for kids! By the way, how do you think Berries will be rated out of 5 stars based on the following?


a) Teacher Quality
b) Material Quality
c) Centre Service
d) Location
e) Value for Money

I am trying to compile a comparison list like this and share with all kiasu parents at kiasuparents.

Hi,
anyone is with Berries @ Bishan? How is it?

My gals are in Bishan Berries and they loved it. Not much homework and the teachers are able to give feedback whenever u prompt them. However, most classes are full and it has a long waiting list.

[/quote]Actually it all depends on whether you can get into a small class. Berries methods work best when the class size is less than 6.

If the class size is 12 or more, then no matter how good the teacher is, the child will not be able to learn very well.

Also note that parents must be prepared to work hard even if you send your kids to Berries. The teacher will feedback to you if your child cannot follow up with the class, she will advise you to practice reading the lesson with your child everyday.
