Chinese Preschool

[Poonie]

If you are considering a pre-school with heavy emphasis on Chinese you may want to check out Newton K. It is church-based and has a very long history and it started has a pure Chinese kindy. Each class has both an English and Chinese teacher and the latter being the form teacher. I noticed that the teachers hired speak exceptionally good English and Chinese. The staff turnover has been low. Infact my kids had the same teachers through out their 3-4 years there with only one change of teacher. The principal is probably extra careful of the selection of staff partly due because quite a number of minister’s grand kids are studying there.

Hi fellow kiasu parents


I’m looking for a chinese pre-school for my 4yr old boy. Can’t get in to Nanyang Kindergarten so am willing to settle for other equivalent private ones. Any recommendations or pointers?

Not really looking for bilingual, but purely chinese.

Hi, just want to check whether does anyone enrolled your kids in Newton Kindergarten before? Any comments on the preparation for P1?


For parents currently with kids in the kindergarten, any comments so far?
I understand that the waiting list is also very long for this.

Hi, you may wish to consider JG as well. Heard that they are starting new nursery classes next year conducted entirely in Mandarin. I like their Mandarin teachers a lot. They are PRC, very animated, lively and apt at handing the different temperament of each child. I like the fact that their chinese is accurate not like SG chinese which is chapalang.

Hi,


Anyone knows if Newton Kindergarten focus a lot on Bible teaching? Do they prepare kids for P1?

Any feedback is appreciated.
