Tots House vs PCF???

smurf:
Dun understand... I didn't say anything bad abt PCF so why keep your boy in the expensive school leh? Go to PCF if you are ok with the idea. If not, just take him to a middle tier school at bishan. So many around that area.oh...i thought u know something about pcf...
so that means, i would have to keep boy in montessori sch after all...but fee really not cheaper...
If the montessori school is really good, just bite the bullet and pay. You must convince yourself that it is worth it then you won't lament the high $$$.
My personal thots about PCF are very personal and nothing to do with their teachers or curriculum. Anyway, every branch is different. -
think we misunderstood your original post. coz you mentioned you wouldnt put your kids in PCF (reason cannot say), so we thought u knew something about PCF but dun want to say.
right now, ds2 is only 3.5, and he has not been long in his current sch to see visible result.
if any kind soul would be able to give comments good or bad about PCF, will be thankful. -
Both my kids attended PCF. Elder one p1 and younger one k1. I find that the teachers are caring and most are very experienced, having taught at the same centre for years, especially the Chinese teachers. However the curriculum may not be as comprehensive as private operators. Eg they do not teach hanyu pinyin. I sent my kids to PCF becuase of convenience as it’s near my place. I do supplement with own teaching and I believe that my elder one is adapting well to primary school. My own conclusion is that PCF is ok if you are prepared to do additional teaching at home or send for some enrichment. Nevertheless this is based on my own experience and may not apply to all centers.

I think pcf standards varies from centre to centre. So need to recce the one near ur place. My son has graduated from pcf & my girl is now in K1. The transition from K2 to P1 was quite smooth (touchwood). Hypy is not encouraged at pre sch bcos children may confuse with phonics. So focus on Chinese word recognition 1st b4 they learn hypy in P1
