Apparently, the neighbour's grandchildren all went there and they are doing fine in primary school now.

However, my husband and I went to visit the school and we didn't like the curriculum. We find that it is not enough to get the kids well-prepared for P1.

When we talked to my in-laws, they said that maybe the neighbour coach at home as well, they don't really know.

In the end, we decided on another kindergarten which we find fits our priorities better.

Having said that, St Paul's does have quite a nice environment. Big space, airy, clean, although old. So if that is what parents are looking for, then can consider.

Same here.


I'm looking for available kindergarten near my in-laws to switch my kids to from their current CC and my FIL's neighbour recommended St Paul's Church. They're currently in K1 & K2.

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Passed by the kindy before. The building seemed to be quite old. Why did your FIL's neighbour recommend it? I heard the nearby Catholic Kindergarten is a better choice.

Totally agreed with daffytlh. The teachers are very good in assuring the kids. Both my daughter (jan 08) and son (dec 09) in N2 and N1. They will be given biscuits, rolls and porridge (fri) for breakfast. The child has to wear diaper even toilet-trained during first week of class.

hi my son is 2.5 years old and just started N1 class in St Paul's Church Kindy this Jan. He is enjoying his school now (unlike the previous school where he cried for the whole term). In fact every morning he looks forward to taking school bus to school.I find the school very organised and teachers very warm, experienced and dedicated. The first week is orientation where only N1 and N2 goes to school for shorter time (2 hours instead of normal 3) accompanied by parents for only the first 3 days. My son initially was very clingy to me for first 3 days but by the 8th lesson he started getting used to idea of going to school. The school has indoor and outdoor playgrounds and they have separate toilets for boys and girls. They have assembly halls, music rooms, and separate classrooms for Chinese and Tamil classes. It operates like a mini primary school where children are asked to wear school uniform and shoes (not allowed to remove shoes) and attend assembly before class and before dismissal. After attending the first 3 days of school with my son, my confidence in the school increased. My son's teacher seem very experienced in handling children -very calm and assuring whenever kids cried. I noticed the children didnt cry for long as they often get distracted by different activities.(unlike my son's previous school where many children could cry for hours altogether) They have indoor play time, eating time, reading time, playground time, etc.The principal looked young but spoke very confidentally and appeared experienced and committed. My husband used to be skeptical as he was against my son taking school bus to school by himself. He was proposing nearby schools instead. But now, after he had seen how much my son enjoyed his school he told me we have made the right choice. 2 changes i noticed about my son was that he didnt seem as shy as before and he recently came home singing a chinese song.
