Hi,I'm thinking of sending my 4yso girl to CMA at Yew Tee Branch. Can I have feedback on the teachers etc at this branch? Tks.

Hi, I am also thinking to enroll my DD into Yew Tee branch, have u gotten any replies on feedback of teachers, care to share please? TIA.

Nope. I didnt. I happened to pass by the branch last weekend. Saw that they have a free trail for new enrollment till end June. Hmm.. thinking whether to sign up or not..

CMA is teaching abacus. School does not need abacus. However, abacus build the +-x/ computation foundation for the kids, and sensitivity to numbers. I personally believe it helps in training the brain.

When you say ICR, you are referring to I Can Read? Sorry I can't comment on that, as both my kids learn to read by themselves (we read to them initially) without having to send to ICR.

I supposed different kids are different, so you may want to evaluate the need yourself. Reading skill and habit is definitely very important, and I stress on reading for both my kids.

Weekdays less, weekends yes. You can check with centre you are interested. Some may have 1 or 2 weekday morning classes in the morning. I know Parkway centre has on some weekdays morning.

I think the branches should be willing as this is potential customer. See if your kids like the lesson and the teacher.

Hi Any Feedback about Bishan Center & the Teachers teaching Foundation Class ? Can advice ?

phtthp:

perhaps bec i am a potential new customer, she was ok. As yours is a transfer case, maybe different. How is it now, after transfer to Novena ? better for yr child ? Owner of Novena also same owner of Bishan branch.

Initially my child was from Novena, however when I learnt that they have moved from TPY Safra to TPY central, I transfer her to TPY Central.

So far so good with Novena branch.
