Carpe Diem

[sotong]

I am considering Carpe Diem Young Minds @ Tampines St 24. Full day child care for my 2yo for 2010.


Anyone has any experience with this?

My kid is still with CD(JJK), though I am getting impatient and ignored with them lately [haiz]. I have visited \"Gloryland\" & \"Learning Ladder\" earlier - the latter is pricey though [> $1K]. But I'll do some serious \"looking around\" once we have settled down.

The house next to CD/JJK has been vacanted for a long time, and is the only one vacant (lot) throughout the estate.... Hmm...

hi, i was told that the CD (Punggol) is operated by the same management of CD(JJK). Ok, as of now, CD(JJK) doesn't have phonics, but will be introducing later once their treachers have completed their training now (as told by their principal). CD(JJK) has a different enrichment class every afternoon from Mon to Fri which are chargeable - for example Kindermusik's on Mon.

Basically, we are very disappointed with Carpe Diem programs. They do not incorporate any 5 "MI" teaching as mentioned in their website/student booklet. The quality and standard of the teachers are very low. They have big classes and the teachers spend lots of time to settle down the kids and hence do not have time to teach them and hence heavily depend on enrichment teachers to teach the kids. Too bad for those who cannot afford the enrichment classes. All the exercise worksheets are no different from what you can buy from outside bookshop. They seldom have art and craft (maybe one art and craft in a month).

This sounds really disappointing...


I'm in a dilemma. My son is doing well in his current at pasir ris. Unfortunately, they do not offer childcare services.

I am looking for various CCs for him.

One of the shortlisted CC is Carpe Diem.

Intend to enrol my son for N2 next year Jan into Carpe Diem Starlet 120 in Choa Chu Kang.

They promote multiple intelligences, claims to build foundation for kids academically and also has a indoor gym

Any mummies with their kids already there and any comments?
