Hello Parents,


I have headache looking for a well-balanced in play and academic school.

Vsited:
1) Pat's School House @ Meyer
2) Learning Vision @ Changi Business Park
3) Kinderland @ Serangoon & Marine Parade
4) Star Learners @ Simei
5) The Little Skoolhouse @ Tampines Junction & Fidello


To be honest; I feel more confident with Pat's Schoolhouse, but after adding the school fees and school bus, it's a sad thing that I have to opt for alternative..
All others above did not give me any confident in them to deliver their mentioned curriculum.

Looking through reviews here for more ideas, but read about Schoolhouse By The Bay at the following gives me doubts:

I am staying in Tampines, do not mind to travel a little; example Pasir Ris, Simei, Siglap, or Katong. Any recommendations, please..

just joined KS parents as helping my girl (11 months) to find a school when she is 18mths. haven’t seen much feedback on Mindchamps @ Katong. Any parents here have feedback on this place?

My daughter is attending Mindchamps @ Katong since she was 17 months. Teachers have to undergo pretty strict training, and so far, my interactions with them is good. Very professional and knows what they are doing. They have a very structured program even for their Playgroup but i personally thinks its too aggressive and can stress both the child and the teacher out.

As such, my daughter changed 3 teachers in 6 months, and she herself does not seem to like going to school at all. But i think it's more an adjustment issue of hers, rather than the fault of the school.

i have a 20-mth old daughter and planning to enroll her at Zee Junior. Anyone has any experience with them? They seem new… so wanted to check for feedback.


My girl is now with Mindchamps for the last 7 months, and she cries like crazy every time i send her to school. Can’t bear for her to continue like this… so looking for alternative.

Thanks vougue_sg for the contribution


sounds scary that your girl crys everyday when she goes to school. think i should go to the school on the weekdays to see the operation first

sent my girl for the trial class at GUG she cries most of the lesson. think she’ll need to get used to the crowd and going to school

Yes, you should take a look yourself and observe if the kids are happy and interactive. This should give you a good indication. But do have to highlight that space is a constraint there and very limited outdoor play.

Hello fellow parents,


I’m new to this forum and am getting a little overwhelmed by the 30+ pages for this! So pardon me for posting a Q that prob have been asked over and over here.

I am residing @ Marine Parade and have 2 boys - A 3 Year old & a 5mths old. My 3 year old have never been to school and wondering what are the better recommendations around Marine Parade / Katong area? Because I working so the school have to be within reasonable range for me cus its either my MIL / helper that will be sending my older boy there.

Is it also advisable to send my 3 year old to enrichment? is that too early?
