CGM Kindergarten

[atxr]

Dear Parents


I would like to know more abt CGM Kindy as I hv the interest to put my child for K2 nx yr.

My concern is
1) if my child is unable to catch up, will they put in extra effort to coach him? He is in daycare now and we would like to convert him to a normal kindy sch. Not sure if he is already on par w/ wat CGMis teaching now.

2) I know they hv snack time, do you know if the teachers do make sure they wash up before eating?

3) in cc, they all remove shoes before entering the compound. Do the children in this sch do tat? If not, if they wear their shoes into the classroom, and step all over the area. Then when they need to sit down on the flr w/ their shoes, then isn't it going to be pretty dirty?

Thanks for your advice. :?:

Hello there,


I believe they will put more effort on a child if they feel a child is unable to cope, and definitely it would be better for your child to level up before p1 comes rather then in p1.

The shoes are worn in classroom as well but so far they have not ever had a problem with hfmd and yes they will ask children to wash hands before meals. Overall all the parents I know who have kids at the school are very happy with the school.

I went to c pcf kindy at Senja-Cashew, then to realise they are also using Rigby Phonics, not the Jolly Phonics which most PCFs are using. Is it true tat though all are PCFs bt their syllabus may differ?


The N2 class at PCF is new, bright, clean and looks very enjoyable. The in-charge told me they are very much focussed on Phonics. Best of all, they throw in an extra 1hr enrichment for Phonics, tats y their curriculum is 4hrs and not 3hrs.

To be more kiasu, I hv placed my gal for N2 at CGM after hearing lots of gd reviews & I also know they are very hot, but now thinking of the $$, PCF is definitely more affordable.

Parents whose kids are with CGM, care to share further, if you have encountered such dilema as me before? & what made you decide to enrol at CGM?

Hello, I understand yr considerations as I was always thinking how much I could be saving. Coicidently, my god daughter who is now in p1 went through the senja cashew pcf. She is 1 year younger then my son so now that she completed K2 I can compare more fairly. They are abt on par whith reading and phonics. But I note difference in maths and Chinese standards. Cgm is definatley for those more kiasu. Ie ting xie and spelling will commence in K1, from second term onwards and both wil be given weekly. Senja cashew only started in K2 and alternate weeks ( ie one week Chinese, following week ting xie). As for other homework… Cgm is 2 subjects daily, senja pcf, some Fridays only book log (write book author, title). Of course these are what I noted during 2009-2012 when my god daughter attended and compared to Cgm which my son went thru. I felt the money is well Spent at Cgm.

Thanks Autumnleaf, it’s a very gd comparison. I am trying to persuade my boy to change.
