Advise needed on good preschool in Serangoon
-
We looked at Trinity a few years ago. My comments would be:
[list]- nice bright,airy space for the younger children but classroom set-up for older ones
[/list]I assume from your list that might be Christian; what I did like was that they have a short morning prayer/devotion time
older ones seemed to be doing a lot of worksheets
Principal showed us the playground but said they rarely use it because it's either too hot or too wet! - nice bright,airy space for the younger children but classroom set-up for older ones

u mean they focus a lot more on academics? i supposed the older ones could be doing a lot of worksheets in order to prep them for pri 1?

I don't really know; it was just the impression that I had from walking around. -
I've called those preschools listed above. SFX and Paya Lebar Methodist do not have anymore vacancies for morning sessions.
I'll be visiting TMC tomorrow morning. However, the principal at Bethesda does not allow us to do visitation when the classes are ongoing. She doesn't give me a welcoming feel.
Hmm...what does one look out for in selecting a preschool for your kids? -

When you visit, it's better to take your child so that you can see how the teachers interact with her. We visited one school (no longer around) where the teacher didn't even acknowledge that my daughter was there whereas another one let her sit down and join in.
Ask them about the turnover of teachers and also try to talk to some of them to judge the standard of their English as some of them are not very good. I would also ask about how they prepare them for P1 - not in terms of academic stuff and worksheets but getting them used to following instructions, fending for themselves etc.
Look at the classrooms and the work displayed on the walls. Does it look interesting?
