Comparing Chinese Enrichment (Primary/Preschool)

[Monster Mummy]

My Melody:

Anyone who's kids has attended this course by Eduplus? Please comment, whether it is worth the $120 per leeson price. Thank you.

The Eduplus course fee is 16 lesson per term, in other words, you will need to pay 500 plus(inclusive two reading book per term and material fees).

Most of the time, the class will teach on words, reading and creative writing such as looking at the picture at write an essay.

My DD is in P1 this yr. Intend to look for a enrichement centre for her. Can all the mummies and daddies here share the lastest price for the following centre.


TIA

1) Berries
2) Jiang Education Centre
3) Tien Hsia Language School

1) Berries - I heard it is good for K1 or K2s because the lessons are fun.
Some of my friends feel that not very academically incline
when their children go to P1 onwards...

2) Jiang - Heard it is v good although class is big and the environment not
very ideal... they collect fees every half yearly. Some kids may
find 3 hours for the 精英班 a bit too siong... but generally they
produce good results. I might switch my girl there.

3) Tien Hsia - My girl is with them since K2. Very good, she is doing well in
school and she enjoys the lessons with Tien Hsia. Only thing
is she needs to go for a separate Creative Writing class from
P2 onwards... at additional costs. Headache...

Hi Callie,

For most of the chinese enrichment, actually the creative writing class and chinese lesson is separate. As far as i know even Han also has separate programme for higer chinese, normal and creative writing cum comprehension.

Hi there,


I’m looking for chinese enrichment class for my 5 yr old boy who is in his K1 this year. Wondering which berries centre is good…I’m looking at Tampines Mart, Tampines Junction and Hougang. Anyone here care to share your experience?

[raisintan]

Hi mummies,


From what I gathered, Berries is good for pre-primary level. Which enrichment centre is good then, for primary school going kids?

Hi Mommies


My DD1 is has been attending Berries since she was 4+ and now that she is going to P1 next year, I am wondering if:

1. Is Berries still relevant/good for P1 and above?
2. If not, would appreciate recommendations.

Thanks!

I need advice. Not sure if this thread is for this age. My gal is 2.5yrs old, and am looking for Chinese enrichment program. Is it too early?

It's never too early as long as your kid likes the programme or dun mind attending. Chinese language is actually not easy. Some of us think it's easy cuz we are fortune enough to an environment that allows us so much exposure to the language (thru TV, news, etc).

If you sign her up in a programme and get her interested in the language or the programme, I believe it will benefit her in the long run. At least when she eventually enters P1, she won't complain the characters having too many strokes, the tingxie too diffiuclt.

I know Berries do have classes for pre-nursery level (ie. 2+ yo).

Cuz when I enquired about 3yo level and said that my girl is 2+ yo now, they said that they still have vacancy for pre-nursery level at certain slots and showed me the time table.

But I think I will wait till Jan 2012 (registration starts Nov 2011) cuz my girl is currently still with JG. If I sign her up too soon for Berries, it may be too much for her. It’s burning a hole in my pocket and nobody in my family is free to keep bringing her to so many diff places for classes.
