Hi, I have no additional details on the quality of teachers and syllabus. I have 1 question in mind though. Can they guarantee a place for my kid even though he is in Horizon Pri? If got balloting in the student care centre how?

Anyone got any feedback to share re the Pro-Teach at Toa Payoh CC? I wanted to put my P2 daughter there but there are no slots. Was planning to register my son who’s starting P1 next year, but it would be a logistical nightmare if my son gets a slot (as it is only Feb, he can be guaranteed a place) and the sister does not.


I went there to take a look as my friend highly recommended it (she works in Toa Payoh, kids schooling in Toa Payoh), but I wasn’t very impressed with the centre or the person showing me around.

I have the same questions. Im planning to send my boy to Horizon Primary, mainly cuz they have a student care located inside the school. If there is no guarantee place for Horizon's students, i may have to reconsider my options.

What-to-do:Why not we go ask the pricnipal of the student care of our concern that we update each other here?

went to pro-teach toa payoh last month and they told me intake for P1 in 2012 has been frozen!! was kinda upset cos when i went to see them last year, they told me no hurry and go see them in feb/mar. i had told them since last year i want to register my son and put my daughter on waiting list, so i wasn’t very happy with how they handled it.


a fren of mine put her daughter at pro-teach in hong wen currently (p1 this year).
the class was full initially, so as the waiting list got longer, they decided to open another class, and finally her daughter got in. but she had to look for alternative care prior to that.

so yes, while we parents don wanna be kiasu, these instances have told me that sometimes we have no choice. employers are generally not happy when we have to take leave frequently over such family matters.
imagine if my fren did not manage to find alternative care, she would have to take half-day leave for almost a month!

Any latest advice on pro tech at choa chu kang branch next to De La Salle? We visited last year and did not enrol for the following reasons:


a. The door was unlocked. I knocked for a long time and realised 2 aunties were chit-chatting inside (1 turned out to be a teacher and the other is the helper).

b. The place was dark.

c. The eating area was at the study area.

d. Classrooms were so cramped that it reminded me of make shift classrooms in developing countries.

e. Open kitchen

f. Toilets are messy and dark.

g. The kids sat quietly in a dark corner reading. No cushions or chairs and all were seated there. When I said hello, they just stared at me without responding.
