Any comment on Kinderland Preschool@Yio Chu Kang?

Sorry for the long post! haha! Overall i feel its a good school and value for $ cos i can pay by CDA...Hi mommies! For those who are checking out Kinderland Preschool at Woodlands CC, my 2 girls (5 & 3 yo) are in there since Jan. Initially my elder girl was attending another school at WCC level 6 (another very good school but expensive!) but we move her out cos we wanted both girls to be in the same school for convenience and cost.
The kiddos are enjoying the lessons in Kinderland and always look forward to go to school. I think they happened to have good and caring teachers and they learned quite a bit from there (esp my 3yo who doesn't speak much outside home). I transferred my younger girl to the 5-day programme after trying out the weekend classes for a few months.
The school run excursions and at first i was worried to let my younger one go without me (for safety reasons) but eventually i'm glad after being persuaded by DH i did let her go cos she really enjoyed it and it's pretty safe since they have additional helpers for these occasions. They also have june holiday programmes (at extra $$ of cos! ;))
Sorry for the long post! haha! Just trying to share my experiences and hope this post will be helpful for those wanting to make a choice!

Hi,
I would like to share my experience in kinderland serangoon. My son was enrolled there few years back from pre-nursery to K2. He was blessed with very good Principal & teachers (in terms of professionalism & being caring). But like one of the posts mentioned, there was a period when many good teachers left, some rather abruptly. Now, my son has already graduated from Kinderland Serangoon, I’m think of withdrawing my girl from there. Though she enjoyed her time in the kindergarten, I find that her current teachers are not very professional. Previously, when my son was absent from school or many days (MC), his teachers will gladly pass me the homework for me to work with him at home. They will also find time to teach him the things he missed out when he was absent. I find that my daughter’s current teachers are not so open & helpful. When I asked for the classwork to be done on the days when she was absent, they brushed it off, saying "it’s ok, don’t worry, i will help her in class." When she brought back her work at the end of the term, there was many incomplete work and they were all marked "absent". I suspect they don’t do much in class also. My girl said they were always playing in the corner, and the teacher always brings them out to play in the hot sun. One thing I cannot accept is that, for convenience, the teacher even told them no need to wash hands before eating, just clean with tissue!!! That has never happened during my son’s time. I find that the management is also very defensive.
In conclusion,though kinderland has been around for along time, and they have some impressive programmes like their music and reading/writing programme, they are not worth the steep fees they are charging, simply because the staff are not professional enough. -

Hi postpet. Which year was your son born? Mine's in 2010 and recently we went to visit Kinderland YCK. My initial impressions are: big compound and pretty organised activities. Have enrolled him for next year's CC. -
