I am keen, unfortunately the timing does not suit my daughter who is currently in the pm session. Am wondering if any kind souls could share with me the words learnt at the centre? I understand by the end of the programme, the student is able to master 1500 words before she enters Primary school.


TIA!

Can i find out where are the branches for MRC? They dun seem to have a website...

As they are franchises, each centre has their own website.
This is the MRC (DTE) one: http://rightbrainteaching.com/

Saw the MRC signboard when I pass by punggol interchange. Anyone sent their kids there ?

They close down this branch due to poor response.

Hi Marvic...


sorry that i've missed out that portion...

Generally, i feel that MRC Downtown east is good.... but expensive...
I would say higher price than say, PAP classes. But think about it, PAP classes typically has about 30 (maybe more?) pupils per class, compared with MRC which has about 10 pupils per class (in the case of Downtown East). I think the max they can go is 14 or 15 pupils.

Regarding fee difference, there could be some difference but I don't think so hugh. The fees of their program per term basis cannot be $270. What kind of program did you check?

pai say :x , double checked today, it's $270 per mth

yeah, and I think that's per subject?

Hi there... u mention your child was transfer from MRC Paris Ris to katong. My son is in MRC Downtown east. i feel that the sch is good. Can you share your experience of your son at Pasir Ris MRC?

Hi, as I mentioned in my earlier posting, it's not that Downtown East is no good. We switched because the program and time table at Katong suits us better.

hi marvic. Just found this thread. Was surprised to hear from u that Pasir Ris don't have additional enrichment classes in the afternoon. I just chat with Dawn (i think is principal) and she told me there is several enrichment classes in the afternoon.


Btw, have you explored MRC@Tampines Central CC? Heard anything abt it? I was shocked to find out the wide range of the school fee of 3Q junior btw Pasir Ris and Tampines Central. For the same 10 weeks course, former charge $1159 and latter $270!! Any comment on this?
Thanks.
Hi, maybe Downtown East changed their program. When my child was there, there were some enrichment classes in the afternoon but not what we wanted.

Do you feel that the premise is very small and dark and too serious-looking? No proper playground at all... Are these some of your concerns when you first saw the premise?

I am not sure how you classify a place as small. But to me I find it big for a pre-school centre. Definitely bigger than many centres I have seen, for example the PAP which you can find under the void deck. Can you share with us which other centres you visited which are considered big? Maybe I go and take a look.

Hi, at the recommendation of friend, we enrolled our elder son in MRC. He started off in Pasir Ris cos it is near to our place and after class in the morning he can go back to my mum's nearby. But after 1 term, we decided to switch him to Katong. More troublesome due to the distance but it is worthwhile. Not only the quality of staff, but the commitment of the boss there impressed us very much. My son is attending normal lessons in the morning, and in order to optimise his learning time, we enrolled him in extra lessons (enrichment) in the afternoon. In between, the teachers buy lunch for him, eat, rest and start afternoon classes. We feel very at ease putting him there.

hi marvic


just curious, how much r the monthly/term fees for just the 3hr class? and how much if add the enrichment classes in the afternoon? when u said your son stay back in the afternoon, is it for everyday or for certain days only? n what time does he leave the school after the enrichment classes? based on your description, sound like the teachers have to purposely buy lunch from elsewhere and not provided in school like a childcare centre.

would appreciate if u can clarify and sorry for the many questions. i believe many parents who are considering the school would appreciate the info too. thanks!
Sorry I can't remember exactly the fees. For the enrichment classes, it is based on per subject per month basis. You may like to go down to enquire.

The good thing about MRC Katong is, there is a canteen in the area because the whole place was converted from the ex-Tg Katong Technical School. So the teachers will buy the lunch there for all the kids who stay back for afternoon classes. Bear in mind, this is a school, not a childcare center so our expectation must be realistic. My son's case, he stays back for 4 days. One of the days, we did not enrol any class for him or it will be Arts & Crafts. Give him a break lah.

Having said this, please let me clarify that we transferred him from Pasir Ris not because Pasir Ris is bad. The staff there are good also. Just that, they do not have such afternoon classes so does not cater to our needs as well as Katong.

[quote=\"rainy5\"]hi, i hope i get the student no. correct, think it is between 6 to 8 (will ask my friend again). different centre under different mgt, the katong one has very good feedback from most parents, heard the pasir ris one not as good. i am interested but simply can't afford the fees lah 😄

wow seems the katong branch is really quite good in terms of teacher quality, attention and care for the students. i just saw a mum with a toddler in a sling together with an older girl wearing 3Q uniform taking the train this morning. i wonder if that's my fren's fren who lugs her younger son along with the long journey to katong everyday! :!: but i guess all parents are the same - we all want the best for our children and some of us are more willing to go the extra mile no matter how difficult, challenging or inconvenient :love:[/quote]Yes that's true. That's why despite the fact that there is a childcare centre at my wife's workplace, and the cost is only a fraction (plus, it is full day care), we decided to switch him from the childcare centre to MRC. He has been with the childcare since N2, and he is now in K2.
