Thanks for your comments! Have surveyed a few PCFs around my area, and my gosh, they've very different syllabus and learning environment! Some teachers can't even communicate well enough to convince me to put my child there and some places are really old and doesn't look 'clean'. So far the best one I've seen is the one at Serangoon North Ave 1, it's one of the premium PCFs (anyway there're only 3 in s'pore). They're more academically inclined compared to the rest. Spelling and tingxie started in K1 and they've extra speech & drama classes from Julia Gabriels....I'm quite happy with the environment too, they're clean and new. Will bring my son there tomorrow to see the place, hope he likes it!

Hi, which Blk pcf are you referring to at Serangoon north ave 1? How did you know it's a premium PCF centre? Btw,K1 level are not encourage to have spelling or 听写。My friend shared that at Blk 141 Kindergarten, the new Malay principal has better leadership than Blk 125 new Chinese principal. On the other hand, the teachers at Blk 125 Kindergarten are more professional and experienced than the teachers at Blk 141 Kindergarten.

Hi mummies, do all the PCFs use the same workbooks? Or each branch has their own workbooks? Thanks in advance

No, not all use same workbooks. Depends on teachers' expectation to come out with the worksheets or workbooks.

I had visited PCF blk 141 Srg, quite like the environment, maybe it look new & clean but too bad, no vacancy for toddler class as not enuf teacher. But the principal is Chinese not Malay. Principal not so friendly too.

PCF is good and cheap. Have to go for other additional enrichment to prepare P1. This kind of money cannot save.

This kindergarten at Blk 508 Hougang Ave 10 #01-93 welcomes special needs children to study in the school.

This is good news for parents with special needs children who want their children to benefit interactive and social interaction with other children.

Hello~ Am going to enrol my 3yo in PCF at Yishun this May. Just curious what are the activities and programmes they will be learning there? Will parents be able to accompany them for the first few days? The time slot is 4hrs? Will there be any tea break in between?


Was a PCF student many many yrs ago but couldnt recall a single thing.. Haha!

Appreciate mummies for your kind input please~

For the first 2 weeks, they will be dismissed earlier by 1 or 2 hours. Can't remember the exact timing as it is 4 yrs back for my children. However, the nursery, the child exposed to singing, games, basic alphabets, numbers and Chinese stroke as well as basic writing for these learning. Not quite sure whether any changes or more.
