Hi Claudine,

I feel the same way about the LSH, like running some sneaky business.
My son is good at the Cherie hearts, Having alot of fun, still v mischevious, i guessed this has nothing to do with school. So far so good. I may consider changing again as i will be leaving my job n will see how first cos it will be v out-of-the-way to have him in Mountbatten if i m no longer working there.....

Hi Hi, i called LSH Mountbatten in October to ask to view the school as i was thinking of putting my son there after CNY 2012. The receptionist told me there was no teacher around to explain anything to me, and can only view the school on a saturday in early Nov.

I got no choice but to wait, and 2 saturdays ago, i finally went down to visit. These are my findings:
1. VP was too busy to entertain us, even when she is in the room,. Ie friendliness = zero
2. A pretty nice friendly teacher was there to explain to me, even showed me the curriculum. I like it that the toddler class is separate from the bigger kids.
3. Then just before we left the school, there was this cleaning auntie who pushes a trolley full of rubbish, went through the whole area (Where the kids play and within the school), all the way outside to the main road, and push it back in again.
4. Lastly, Teacher that handled me the curriculum paper, actually request to take it back from me.

I just feel that this school does not have transparency, and the cleanliness is not very strict. M still considering if i shld put my boy there.

Hi Porped, how old is your son? Is Cheri Hearts good?

Sorry to side track here, but i will just like to share something with all parents, especially parents with children at Little Skool House at-the-park (@Pearl Bank). I give lessons at my place at pearl bank, used to be teaching in music schools, but have since got married and moved into pearl bank. I will like very much to teach kids piano (they will need to be about 3.5 years old to start). And since Little Skool House at-the-park is just below my place, I thought it will be convienient for parents and their kids to come over and learn piano, and hence I thought of sharing it here!


If anyone’s interested, could always go over to my profile page under music (Felicia Lee). Thank you!

Hi,


I’m a first time user of kiasuparents. I may be considering putting my child in LSH @ Mountbatten Square in their N2 class. Would be great to have comments/info from parents regarding the school eg the teachers, the curriculum, the environment etc.

1) Are the teachers caring, friendly and well-trained?

2) Is the curriculum all-rounded and play-based? Is it bi-lingual? How is the Mandarin programme?

3) Clean environment?

Any comments & feedback would be great. Thanks

Apparently, LSH in Amk hub hold pre-natal courses after the school has close for the day. Not too sure if the "Mattress" that the Pregnant mothers sit on are the same mattresses that LSH kids sleep on them on a daily basis…I have a friend who has even complained the pillow given to mothers to rest and do exercise dirty, I wonder what are the hygiene standards too.

Yes, we had 6 sets and had more as time went by... lazy to wash...

Anyway, sometimes I pack 'outside' clothes when we ran out of uniform. Not often; maybe once a week. When they see their friends wearing sch uniform and not them, they will feel weird.
Sometimes, my DS will ask, \"Mummy, why didn't you pack uniform for me..\"

Hi mummies


Today I went for a day trial at LSH. The teachers are not bad but one of the steps programme in the morning was taught by a Chinese teacher. She was showing the kids how to make a dough using floor, water, and then she added red ink and allowed the kids to play with the dough. Is interesting, but can I know how is this related to their Literature-based approach? There was no use of books or poems…hmm…I forgot to ask the teacher or P just now…
