Hi Fion!

But there's nothing to stop you from visiting the centre now, right?

Look at the centre from the outside and \"feel\" it.... :torchme:

lzxuan:

According to LSH website, the ratio for K1/K2 is 1:20. According to Joanne, they will try to keep to 1:16. The most 1:18.

Hi lzxuan!

Actually, I am not too sure whether I should believe Joanne in this aspect. Remember how the centre at LV@NUS looked like last year? Due to overwhelming response, they created extra partitions to accommodate more children. To think that LV@NUS was already the largest centre of all Learning Vision centres. :shock:

Now that Joanne is trying to \"entice\" parents to go with them, she will of course, make all these claims. Likewise for LSH. It's a matter whether they will honour to these claims. LV will \"try to keep to 1:16\". So, when the time comes, they will just tell you, \"oh! We tried, but not possible.\" :x

At the end of the day, it's a matter of profit and loss. Private centres are profit centres, not cost centres. They will want to make as much profit as possible. Especially so for Learning Vision @ SP2 because they need to make up the lost profit due to charging existing LV@NUS parents corporate rate in SP2.

Actually last night my husband did mention the for the briefing they may say that their curriclum will be v good , teachers will be v experience but who knows... because no one really had experience with them before.

Hi Fion!

By attending the the briefing session, you can also find out, for instance, how LSH teaches English. E.g. Learning Vision teaches English using Letterland. Hence, if LSH uses a different approach, you can find out from them the merits of their approach as opposed to Letterland.

Did a google, seems like the comments for Jolly Phonics is better than Letterland. Lots educator say that Letterhand is confusing kids, when you ask about A, they replied Annie Apple instead of Ah.

Hi lzxuan!

How good is your daughter in reading? My daughter is rather hopeless. Sigh!

That's why I keep using this as a reason to justify switching to LSH. My husband thinks all childcare centres are the same, though. :stupid:

Hi Fion!

So you will be attending the same session as lzxuan! Perhaps both of you can meet up to list down the questions to raise to LSH during the session. Like what lzxuan said, UNION IS POWER! :rahrah:

hmm i think different child care will teach Phonics in different way.

Does that mean the ohonics method LV thought the kids are not v good?
Ya i'll be attending tomorrow briefing
