Pat's Schoolhouse

[zin]

Hi, mommies of Pat’s schoolhouse,


I understand that Knowledge Universe has invested in Pat’s schoolhouse. Wonder if anyone can provide feedback on how that has changed Pat’s schoolhouse? like curriculum, management, teachers, etc?

Appreciate any feedback provided. Thanks.

Melina taught both my daughters during K1 and K2 at Pat’s Schoolhouse Katong. She’s a wonderful teacher who genuinely cares about her kids. She may be very direct with parents ( who sometimes cannot take the truth0 but i found her honesty a virtue. She was also vice Principal of katong. I never had problems with her responding to queries- in fact she always was in the know. i think parents should also examine themselves. I subscribe to the view what goes around comes around.

i sent 2 kids to pat’s at serangoon. no regrets. warm environment. lots of open spaces, which i like. classrooms have an open-concept. windows are open to allow fresh air in. 3 play areas for kids to run around and expend their energy. definitely recommended.

Hi beagle,

Thanks for sharing.

Is your kids attending full day cc? They have this extended day programme(art,music, drama etc)? Any comment on the teachers and what about their curriculum, does it benefit your kids?
Their fees after deducted $300 is abt 1K excluding enrichments lesson which is $150 per mth. so, I'm thinking does it really worth to pay for this amount.

Hi, I just registered my 2yo son in Pat's at Arena. Checked out about ten centers around jurong west/east area and this one is the only one has vacancies and looks not too bad. It is really expensive and the indoor play ground dose look kinda shabby and not very safe as mentioned earlier by another mom in this thread. I mentioned this to the principle but she tried to convince me that they never had severe accidents there and they are trying to improve it and they might get a new outdoor playground next year. Other than that, the environment looks not very tidy to me but with bunch of small kids around I don't expect more than that. Teachers are overall nice and they got this big music classroom which I liked very much. I was really desperate to put my son into childcare asap and as soon as I signed the paperwork I started to worry whether I made the right choice for him. I am here 2 am cos I am too worried to sleep. :stupid:


I would like to know more moms who have kids in this center and I would like to know any positive or negative feedback about this center too. Please feel free to PM me any time, will respond asap.

Hi Beagle


Thanks for the reaffirmation as I recently just paid up the fees at the school. We are currently not residing in Singapore but due to be back in Singapore by the end of the year, so I was 'researching' remotely, and am so glad to see your comments! Thanks again.
