      to happydaddy: so jialat ah? Which branch is this? Should feedback. That teacher ought to be sacked, IMHO. Haiz…i am quite surprised to see so many negative comments about CH. I thought its quite established and there should be a certain standard even if they are franchises.

            i can only say, u pay peanut, you get peanut.


            u pay $500 n expect fantastic teacher, dream on.
            u pay $1000 n get fantastic teacher, hard to absorb.
            u pay $500, n they give you fantastic teacher, share with us, i bet, within a yr, the fee will increase 30%.

            Cheap fee. Parents pressure them to get good teacher, once they get it, the CC increase fee to keep them, but as parents, we complain no $$. End up, transfer the kid to another centre cheaper, and complain. Children move out, end up CC closed down due to high cost. It a cycle.

            Who is at fault?

            So, should we complain or keep quiet?

              Seems like most of the comments on CH is negative. I used to think that CH is a premium chain of CC, like kinderland. But with franchising, standards drop.


              My boy is also in CH K2, quite disappointed with the quality of teaching. The teacher didn't even bother to arrange for Parent Teacher Conference. Sometimes spelling lists are given late, sometimes teacher forgot to give spelling !

              Faint!
              I guess it depends on the branch and how well it is managed.
              My boy's CH centre practises PTC twice a year and e teachers have been pretty stable. The teachers may not be the \"wow\" types with degree and perfect british english etc. Every 2 weeks, the child will bring back the stuff that they do in school.

                The fee is indeed expensive and service wise depends on centre management. Every centre service is different, management and staff attitudes show all. Franchaise wise, Carpe Diem is better. 😉


                I were wondering does this apply to year end concert as well?

                  Hi keenDaddy


                  Most importantly, the teachers must be caring.
                  Otherwise, that defeats the purpose of being a teacher.

                      Hi keenDaddy


                      In fact, during my preschool days teachers do house visit to meet up with the parents and understand more about their family. It's so different as compared to now.

                        I agree with your point. Not only CH, but seems like other franchise of other 'brands' are not uniform in their standards. It depends on the luck or fate or whatever you call that. A few days ago a friend told me that her son in CH got a bad fall some time ago that she decided to pull him out. She told me that they kept changing teachers and a lot of prc teachers over there, and she heard from another parents who claimed their kids branded apparel went missing and there were rumours that the principal kinda psychologically imbalanced as her own child was mentally handicapped or something like that.
                        On the other hand, another church friend whose daughter is in CH (another franchise) is coping very well and progress very fast in her speech and arts. They had good parental and staff relations. This friend said that the money for her daughter's fee was worth it as the teachers are very devoted.
                        So ultimately, it depends on where and when you put your child in those reputable CC.
