Kinderland

[Happy Mom]

Hi, I am new here. A lot of help is needed.

Currently I am looking for a childcare for my 18 mths daughter. From the forum, it seems Kinderland @ YCK is quite good. But I heard the principle is not very friendly from a post around 2008, do not know how is the suitation now.
I want to take a visit there. Anything I should pay attention. Thanks very much.

Any comment on Kinderland Sengkang?

Hi


My son is with kinderland @ Carmichael. Previously it was a pte CC with a few branches and was sold to Kinderland. Since the change, we found that Kinderland has improve facilities inside and change the tables/chairs etc. Teachers are being sent for training etc. We like the place because of the small class and high teacher-to-student ratio plus they have a outdoor garden to play. Its previously non-aircon under the previous operator but now under kinderland has air-con though i understand they dun on it all the time only during sleep time. The cook is also v nice.

Hi parents


I have a brand new set of gal's Kinderland uniform (sz M), 1 set of kinderfit(sz M) and 1 set of long sleeve pullover (sz M) for sale. Reason for selling is we found a childcare centre nearer to my Punggol place as compared to Kinderland (Kovan).

Please drop me an email ([email protected]) if you are interested.

Kinderland at cck (choa chu kang).


find that their field trips is getting expensive.
eg. musemum trip is $16 where entrance fee is foc for
children $6 and below.

the school can’t give me a satisfactory answer. worst, when i told the
in-charge mdm woo that which category of people visit musemum is free
and she doesn’t believe. omg!! really thinking
of moving my girl out of the school.



so parent, do ask what constitute the cost else the school will just

Kinderland CCK is a franchise run by Mrs Neo. It was really good when Mrs Low was its Principal up till last year, I think.

Mrs Low was an excellent Principal, very hands on, very knowledgeable and professional. The kids and the teachers and even parents had great respect for her. After she left, many parents were not happy with the centre's falling standards. Some good teachers also left which made matters worse. I felt that the currently Principal, Mdm Woo, could not fit into Mrs Low's big shoes.

We took our kids out, partly because of relocation and partly because we were not really happy with the changes and standard of service.

Kinderland is a good concept but it also depends on the centre you choose. And they are not cheap so we parents must expect value for my money!

You did the right choice to pull your kids out.

Anyway, I can’t believe my eyes for term 3 excursion cost.
1. Chinatown heritage $13 (Entrance fee is $6, so is transport $7), I do not know.
2. Singapore museum $16 (Workshop $8, I call museum to ask because Mdm Woo doesn’t wish to answer, so is transport $8). Anyway lunch is provided but guess should be from the school
3. Thow Kwang Industry $18. I have not called and checked.

Anyway, in total I have to pay $47.00

You are right to say Mdm woo doesn’t fit into the big hat. She can’t explain the about cost to me and keep saying ‘We have our way of doing things’, guess we are don’t understand her way of doing things.

My girl’s english teacher is changed the third times this year. I can’t understand why she put a new teacher in her class. I am not sure if this teacher is good or not but the reason sited by Mdm woo is not convincing.
She mentioned that this english teacher is bachelor of … had 7 months experience working in singapore childcare.

??? why only work 7 months in 1 childcare and jump into another one. Thus, I said Mdm woo is very contradicting and she doesn’t know. If she is in a debating team, guess she is the first to be shoot down.

Didn’t want to talk to her again because her reason is always the same and she doesn’t listen. I miss Mrs Loh, Mrs Koh, Bai-Lai Shi they all…

Last, thanks for listening.
