Hi,


Any mummies here whose kid is currently in playgroup, Tanglin?

Realize there are lesser kids in the playgroup? Did you withdraw ur kids from PSH? I see lesser kids in class. And other kids comes in really late for their lessons. hmmmm... am wonder why.. :?

insider:

what I understand is before Pats, Odyssey was running pretty OK there. When Pats took over, I thought may be the old teachers will stay but it doesn't seem to be that way from the way I read it. Probably Odyssey brought all or most of her teachers to the new location.


If you are a very particular parent, then Pats Tanglin may not be suitable for you coz it is more 'western' in that it is OK for kids to cry, fall, learn, etc, as long as it is within safety zone. Large part of her customers are expats who can accept this philosophy (and more difficult for local parents).

If you are not in a hurry to enrol your child yet, you may wait for about another six months for them to get over their teething period of settling down logistics and relook at them again. Now it's still relatively new and so also not so fair to write them off straight away (of course, I know their fees are not low and parents do have higher expectations).

PS: Having said the above, the fundamental thing that the school has to observe is to keep within the children:teacher ratio that they committed to parents (your higher fees paid is largely due to this other than the expensive rental); otherwise, not worth trying...

all ex odyssey teachers and staff are transferred to odyssey 4th ave. the kids also i think mostly transferred over if they did not choose to stay on for the conversion to pats

miss teresa? miss theresa?

Hi Smurfy,

Yes it's Teresa Tay... and i like her alot!! In fact i find her even more approachable and easier to talk to than Tanya (not that i had any problems with Tanya - not at all - or maybe it's because she's small-sized and i'm also small-sized, so we can \"connect\" hahaha...
