Childcare's principal making negative comments
-
sometimes ppl make comments which they dun really mean harsh but the listener feels that… the principal should be tactful in making such comments… if not ask him/her to learn from scratch again…
if ur final decision is really to change a cc, u have to make sure ur kid is well informed… if not she will think she’s changing everytime and leaving her friends… -
Get out fast!

Oh dear! What a terrible experience for yourself and your child. That is not nice of the principal at all.

It is unprofessional. This should link to the problem of modern trend of a CC becoming “branded”.
To sustain their good reputation, they are becoming selective on child. Try to accept the good ones, and try to avoid the difficult ones if possible, to get an easy job and gain better recommendation from parents. So save them the problem employing more teachers. All aims at better profit, better reputation and easier job. Then occasionally publish something on child study to solidify the reputation. This cycle of acts will go on and on, hence will ensure their school becoming top CC in Singapore.
In the end, the real meaning of a school is lost. -
I’ve encountered a similar experience like you too but with a teacher, as soon as we had that confrontation with the teacher, we decided to transfer my daughter to another childcare centre. So not worth the time to put up with such hostility from the teacher.

Hi, I would like to know if you are still active with this?
I am a mother of a 8 year old child, and back when I had to send my child to a preschool, I had similar comments from the teachers and principals. My child was a troublemaker and he had an issue of not being able to sleep without his stuffed toy. But I realized then that if I didn’t change my boys habit, then he will forever be clinging on to this small smelly comfort. Then, the principal would call him little chili microphone, or loud speakers, as he will cry very loudly.
However, have you really sat down and spoke with the centre, don’t just voice it up like this as a feedback, ask to meet the teachers. Because, its a job they do, and You might want to find out how he is in the school. That’s what I did, and I was very shocked to realize that, other than my boys small issues, the childcare has plenty of positive views of my boy.
I won’t question the love that preschool teachers have for children, indeed it’s a very tough line, and till date, I still bring my boy back to see his teachers. -

Just want to share my experience. I also recd negative comments from my son ccc this year. He have been in this ccc since PG, now he is 6yrs old already. For this half year, the teachers turnover rate in his class is very high, they had changed 4 teachers including Chinese and English teacher already. The English teacher keep telling me that my boy disobedient in class.
I asked her when? Was it during lesson time? she told me during sleeping time. She mention that he liked to roll here and there, didn’t sleep in his cot. By doing his action, the kids around him were distracted.
I feel that this is small issue, they keep complaining to me 2-3days once ( I need to work)…
After 1 week of receiving complains from my kid teacher, my kid was called to the principle office. He was scolded very harshly by his sch principle (my kid told me). That night he came home cried very badly and told me that he scare to go to sch. I asked him what happen, he told me that his principal scolded him and bang the table in front of him. And also shouted at him: how dare you disturb my teachers, I’m the in charge here, you better listen and obey the sch rules… ( lucky my son remember what she said to him)
The next day, my husband and I went to sch and confront the principle. We asked the principle, was it true that she bang the table? To our surprise, her answer was YES! We ask her why she had to bang the table, she told us that it was just only a gesture of showing to my son that she was very unhappy and angry of him.
We told her that she was so unprofessional and her action was totally unacceptable. How can she throw her temper just because my son don’t want to sleep in school? We told her that even she was very angry with my son, she shouldn’t show this action to him. He was just only a 6 year old kid. He might think that, when he was angry, he can follow the principle by banging the table.
The school principle didn’t even apologize to us for her action that she had done to my son. This made my husband and I very disappointed about the school. After confronting the principle and we thinked back of her action, we decided to withdraw him out from the ccc, In order to avoid my son from learning from that kind of unprofessional environment. I was wondering did the principle did that to him when he was younger (my son was there from age 2) or other younger kids over there.
I just wanted to share my unpleasant experience with the parents here. This principle was from Sunshine Kids Care Centre Pte Ltd located at Punggol.
