Wow, the pats management should pay me for such a good endorsement about them. Just joking. No regret for all the money spent there, worth every cents. My dc never say how much they love pats, but they still play graduation song of pats very often in my car. Deep in their heart, i know they enjoyed everyday there. It justifies why the waiting list is so long nowadays.

Hi Papertree,


Sign… unfortunately ‘imho’, some things have changed over the last 6 years I feel when Miss Patricia Koh herself helms the school before it went over to KU. I still like Pat’s for its academic approach but centers vary far and wide these days.

Yes. You are right. So many changes there, however i never catch up. Just share my encounters many years ago. For lim ah pin, some of my DS teachers are still there. I should say they are really wonderful.

hi papertree, is it convenient to disclose these \"star\" teachers :)? please e-mail me if it is not convenient to name them here. i have heard good feedback about another pats centre but that was also many years ago.

Didn't realize that the fees are different for different branches.


For Halifax, the 2013 fees are (before GST and childcare subsidy)

Full day (till 5.30) - $1450

Full day (till 6.30) - $1660

Half day morning - $1080

Half day afternoon - $850

What's the increase from current?

I am only aware of the current fee for full day till 5.30pm, which is $1325 before GST and childcare subsidy. Therefore, the increase is going to be 9.4%.

" A new statutory board to oversee Pre School Education " - PM Lee Hsien Loong.


Does this include regulation on the fees?

I also received the notice of price increase from Aroozoo last week.


I'm going to speak to Anita this week about the price increase and understanding the reasons, etc. If I don't get a satisfied answer, I'll request for a meeting with Patricia Koh. If enough parents make noise, they will feel the heat. There is little effect if we simply complain on this forum. I'll have 2 kids going to Aroozoo from 2013 onwards and am quite concerned with the situation.

Hi Woodstock and other displeased parents from Aroozoo,

We should organise a meeting with Anita to voice our displeasure at the fee increases. And also at the absurdity of giving an advanced one month school fee for existing students to secure a place for 2013!

We should not be at the mercy of Knowledge Universe!
