My boy was at west coast plaza previously, i like the environment, the incharged is very aware of cleanliness and hygiene. But their opening hours are selective hence the classes are taken up very fast.

Mummies who send their kids to ICR... can i ask do you have any idea wat do they do inside the class? I always ask my girl who is currently a student in ICR, she keep telling me she play games and talk time. So i have no idea if she is learning anot...

Hi mummies,


I just my 3 yrs 10mth old girl to the ICR assessment and she will b placed in ICR level. The teacher said she has the blending n reading ability of a 5 yrs old. However, after reading the post here, i am worried about whether the teacher will spent time guiding her or concentrate on the k2 n p1 students only. I was given a one time free trial to see whether can she adapt to the class as the admin gal doesn’t believe she can handle ICR level even though the teacher who assessed her say she is amazing good. Do u think I should let her join the class? One part of me wants her to join as I know she will pick up the skill v fast, but I am worried she will b bullied or left alone in class. Please give my some advice. Thanks

Hi piglet and calf,


Your girl is v advanced to be offered the ICR prog at this age! Your concerns about the age gap between classmates and her is valid. However it is very much dependent on the behavior of the students and how the teacher conducts the class. Why not let your girl go for the free trial first and see if she's comfortable with it.

Can your girl write well now? Spelling is required at the ICR level.

Hi kat78,


Which stage is your DD in now? The TCS and PRP is not so structured as each student will be at different levels of competency. There will be some phonics activities in class which is given according to their competency. They do have some play (if u notice the kitchen set in the classroom). You may wish to speak with the teacher to find out the progress of your DD and what skills she’ll require to go to next level.

Hi all, my son is currently in the ICR programme (book 6).

I do not know if he should continue ICR when he is in P1 next year.
Is next level following the MOE syllabus? Can any parents advise?

Thanks.
