Pro-Teach Student Care

[sembgal]

Hi, my experience with Paya Lebar Proteach was a good one when I visted them last year to enquire and I think I asked more questions and I feel Hougang Pro-teach childcare centre should be more professional towards dealing with public queries.

Hi Sembgal, you are right. The Hougang branch needs to be more professional in dealing with enquires. Definitely did not expect that kind of behaviour from the principal cum franchisee. This is a blessing in disguise though, there’s no way I can entrust my daughter to a student care centre with a principal like that.


The Paya Lebar branch seems to be rather popular with the PLMGS girls with many positive comments in this forum. But too bad, I’m rather put off by my experience with the Hougang branch to give Pro-teach another chance.

Thanks for your frank feedback. Having the child in a student care service may not benefit the parents if the student care centre in primary schools close on days when schools close such as PSLE marking day. This is enough to put me off.

I had a frustrating experience with Pro-Tech After School Care in Horizon Primary School. From my last encounter with the centre principal, i figured that the demand for their centre is so good that they can make thoughtless decision. Take it or leave it. Inflexible, high-handed and lack of planning. If you are in their waiting list, you can wait forever unless someone drops out. No point appealing no matter how desperate you are. You can also forget about calling their HQ as they will just refer your feedback back to the respective centres.


Since they decided to accept only one of out my TWO children studying in the school, i've decided to withdraw my application for the one accepted by the centre because it makes no sense for me.

For those parents who consider school based care centres, I noticed that Pro-Tech Centre closes when the school close (eg. PSLE marking day, special school events etc). I thought that's when we need the centre for - to take care of our children when there's no school during school term.

Furthermore, Students are to wait in school canteen after say 5pm and outside the school after 6.30pm with one centre staff. So for parents who knock off at 6pm and takes more than half hour travel time, do take that into consideration.

I went to pro teach two branches to observe as I was thinkin of placing my DS there, I noticed:

1. Children were not really doing their work. Many were playing with their pencil boxes, drawing rubbish on papers, flipping pencils, etc. girls were chatting instead of doing their work
2. Teachers were oblivious to children behavior. THEy were just answering one or two kids queuing up to ask questions.

3. Some boys were dashing in and out of classrooms. They were going toilets frequently and laughing and joking outside class. Again teachers didn't bother.

4. When I ask the teachers. One school said oh... So happen they are changing periods. I visited the centre three times and so coincidental? Then I ask another school teacher, she said, we are here to help in school work, we are not childcare teachers.... I was like.... Huh... BUT they are not even doing their work....

I urge parents if you feel lack of options plus write to ministry. I wrote to moe but nothing been done. Hopefully as more parents feedback they will build more and better after schools are for full time working parents.
