Hi, anyone has any comments or can share experience with Cherie Hearts @ Harbourfront infant care pls?


Looking for infant care for my 7mo boy... huge headache... hope someone could help. thanks!

I don't know about Harbourfront, but are you aware there is a new CH down the street near Pasir Panjang at a newer office complex, Golden Agri Plaza? They're called Cherie Hearts Discoveryland. They opened in October of last year. My daughter is in PG2 and absolutely loves it. The centre is clean and the teachers and administrators are very nice. I have considered putting my 10 month old in infant care there - the facilities are wonderful - but I'm just not ready to send her yet. If I were ready, I wouldn't hesitate to place her there. Last time I spoke to them about it, a couple weeks ago, they only had one or two spots left, so make a visit right away if you're interested.

Both my boys are at Cherie Hearts @ Harbourfront. Actually, they were there from their 3rd mth (i had to go back to work).

No issues with them - in fact - im quite happy with the school.

I just visited CH @ Corporation Place. Quite like the environment, airy and spacious, clean, neat and organized. Big and dedicated outdoor playground. The hygiene level very good with checks 4 times a day. The branch director is also very friendly.

But then, heard not so good reviews about CH too… anyone could provide review on the teachers and curriculum? Thinking of enrolling my son turning 18 months in a few months’ time.
Thanks!

Our previous CH management is not good either.


After we change our child to another childcare.
They are taught to greet teachers and friends before they eat .
They are told not to run in the centre just in case they fell and hurt themselves.
They have a staff who mainly do showering for them and another who serves them food.
Teachers & management are meticulous and caring. They are always full of smile, courteous and easy to converse.

Sad to say previous CH has none of the above.

Hi keenDaddy

Since this is a forum, I don't see why i can't have my own opinion shared with other parents. This has nothing to do with whether it is my first or \"last\"post.

You may be one of the \"lucky\" parents who found the right and responsible CH centre for you kid, but this may not necessary applied to others. I have a friend's kid who was once with one of the CH Centres and the poor child who was only 4 years old then, was put to stand at one corner of the class after being scolded by the teacher for misbehaving. Please refer to Page 1 (Winth) of this post, who also had a bad encounter with CH Habourfront. The child was left alone when the parent was late to pick him up. Is this what a responsible child care should be? Don't you think it is dangerous for the kids? If you child was left alone at the lift lobby, how would you react?

Everyone has their own views and rights, be it biased or not. Moreover, what I said are facts. Please NOTE that I did not mention \"all centres\". As for the banner issues, you may check with LTA whether it is violating the land and transport law. Cherie Hearts were issued warnings and summons many many times by LTA and yet they are still doing so. I ever saw with my own eyes that a pedestrian who happened to stop by the banner to have a close look and nearly hit by a car which was making a turn. As a franchisor with so many centres throughout the island, they are guiding the franchisee operators to violate the law??

My post is just a reference for those parents who are sourcing for childcare centres so as they could make comparison and have a second thought.

I agree with Insider : Only people with sound ethics can run long time business.

If you are in the business world, you will know that there are many people who use unscrupulous means to achieve individual gains.
