wild_majestic:Hi Majestic,Any feedback for Cherie Hearts (Eunos branch) at Jln Singa or Cherie Hearts (Kembagan branch) at Lorong Melayu?
I was about to enrol my daughter into the Eunos branch at Jln Singa but was shocked to learn that the center Principle (Ms Rani) and playgroup teachers (Ms Sarah & Rachel) have all left the center at the same time. This caused me to wonder what has happen and look for alternative at Kembagan. Anyone care to share their experiences at these 2 centers?
This morning i just posted a reply on jalan Singa as per below:
My 2 kids are attending cherie heart @ Jalan Singa (for 1.5yrs already). Is a 3 storey terrace house.The place is clean and has a playground for the kids. Teachers are pro-active, caring and most impt they can communicate to kids at their level. Director Ms Agnes is approachable and welcomed ideas and feedbacks fr parents n most impt she is willing to make the necc changes within her control. To me, no matter whether the centre is franchise or wholly owned but alot still depend on the quality of teachers employed. Whether they can take care of your children and deliver the teaching and whether your kids benefit/learnt fr the teachers. Basically they spent most of their time in childcare centre 7.30am to 7pm so choosing of childcare is very impt. i have gathered experience in choosing childcare after my kid changed childcare 3times already since he started@20mths old . Till todate, Cherie Heart @ jalan Singa managed to meet my standard. Bye ....need to go parent volunteer work at Tao Nan Primary School.
In reply to your query on why the principal and 2 teachers left that caused your anxiety of changing location. This caused u to wonder what had happened but hmmm... hv u found your answer?? Hv u spoken to the director agnes and do u know wat went wrong? Frankly speaking, which organisation or business dun hv their internal problem/conflict. staff leave n new staff comes...as co-workers ourselves we are oso constantly looking for better opportunity and benefits..In this society, who will stay in their 1st job that becomes their job for life. Personally, im on good terms with the 3 staff who left and i do agree that they were good teachers. But those who are still around are equally good n if not better...give yourself time to know them n find out more. Like i have said, we hv changed 3 childcares for my kids and the last was the worst childcare that 1 can imagine (promise lots n deliver none n my deepest regret that caused my boy to hv 9stitches scar on his forehead
but i would not mention the centre name since it has folded down and now under new leadership). I wld say after gaining all the bad experiences with different childcares, my expectations actually risen and if not more stringent for the next childcare that im going to enroll my kids. For the past 1.5yrs, it has not been easy for the centre/teachers/agnes cos i admit im not an easy parent to deal with after all that we have went thru. Thus, i wld like to comment that so far this centre has meet my expectations. By the way, we enjoyed our field trip to yakult factory with the centre today. Teachers come n go but field trips still hv to go..and learning continues....how can we deprive of our kids learning right .....
