hihi. im new in this forum.... Anyone in MFS jurong point? my gal have been started in N since July last year.. last month(Dec) my gal have promote to K1 and after that she have been very emo in school. almost everyday till now been crying.. anyone experiencing that?


Anyone have 2nd Hand uniforms to let go for gals? thanks

Might be something's going on in school but your gal doesn't know how to explain to you or she's scared to tell you for whatever reason. You should contact the Principal to find out exactly what's going on. If things don't seem right, then better to change school.

I have heard of a case in the past (although I don't know is which school exactly) whereby the child was abused in school by the teacher, but the parent did not find out until after the child left the school for P1. Apparently the school was aware of it but turned a blind eye in the name of not being able to find a suitable replacement teacher.

MFS now has creative dance for N/K1/K2.. these are besides the science class, arts class(completing soon as their contract with MFS is expiring), abacus.. getting better with their enrichment classes and also they start to use interactive screen to teach (pen to touch screen) .. they incooperated creative corners e.g blcok corner, dramatic corners, reading corners, science corners ( DD is enjoying this the most, e.g the dramatic corners as she will come back and tell me what she is acting daily at the dramatic corner with her classmates) then in march they just did their vision check by MOH. lucky thing DD eye sight is within normal range and they give the health check report to parents in seal envelope.

Hi Micollh,
Is the science class part of the curriculum or enrichment? I am impress with MFS's constant way of improving themselves. Be it academic or enrichments. My DS came from a fairly premium childcare chain and I must say MFS sounds better. Understand that most of the centers is full, except for the new ones. Can I know the student teacher ratio for K1?
Thanks.

Karl12,


the sciece class is enrichment, they engage vendor outside (those approved by MFS) to come in and give additional classes. extra charges to be paid. it’s optional but i usually took it up to enrich my child’s learning journey.

depends on the batch, my DD K1 has 21 students, i was informed 12 to 1 teacher. my DS in playgroup only 13 of them. so each teacher abt 6 students. they usually will get in a helper to assist, my DS playground has 2 teachers and 1 helper (we call her aunty as she helps in general childcare)… which i think is very good. i ask anything to her, whether he poo, whether he eats… why he wet his shirt etc etc…

And also it depends on which branch u go to.

Hi Micollh,


Thank you for sharing.

Good to hear tt MFS provides a variety of enrichment classes but wondering if it applies to ALL branches. If you dont mind, which branch are your kids in?
