Just wondering, besides Phonics, what are the other most common or important courses that all the mommies and daddies here have sent their 5 years old?

I would say perhaps Chinese enrichmt classes (eg berries/TH etc) as I personally am q impressed on how these schools can turn the once-boring subject to many into something so enjoyable to the young now. Esp to kids who speak EL all the time, it is not so easy to instill the love of the CL language in them.

As for Maths, MPM/CMA/Kumon are among the popular ones altho most of them stop attending these classes and switch to Maths tuition classes once they hit P1.

However..what is deemed \"important\" to one parent may be \"unnecesary\" to another.
E.g. for a kid who reads extensively .... or your kid's cc/kindy is doing the job just fine... or you can afford the time/effort to teach him/her at home ... he/she may not even need to attend any enrichments.
So it really depends on what you think your kid needs.

ILoveChubby, thank you for the advises. I am trying to find out more to see if it is necessary to put my 5 years old child in some of the enrichment courses since mine is idling and playing at home only and not attending any school or childcare. Am trying to see if it is good enough to just find him a half day preschool or kindergarten to attend or put him in some courses without attending any school or kindergarten. Any advises or recommendation? Thank you.

Thank you Chomecc and Buds for the recommendation and advice. Yes, am still on a lookout and still need more recommendation so that I can find out more and compare. Thank you.

Appreciate any recommendation as I feel the need is urgent. Thank you.

Can someone recommend a good kindergarten or preschool in Yishun please? Good half-day ccc with good curriculum is fine too because my child is not attending school nor any enrichment courses and he is already 5, so am quite worried. Thank you so much.

Is your centre teaching only the primary levels? Any branch in the north? TIA.

What I have encountered are mostly irresponsible tutors, especially those below 25 and I noticed that tutors today no longer give or print notes nor provide any form of study materials unlike some in the past. It’s also obvious that many are out to just earn some easy and good pocket money without wanting to put in any effort, only let the tutees do assessments with some explanation and their job is done. Very disappointed that most are irresponsible and uncaring. Really had too many unpleasant experiences with tutors and the agencies.

I got mine from recommendation and since then till now

I consider myself lucky

Is yours in pri level or sec? Is the tutor really good? Mind PM me her bio and charges if convenient? Thanks.

Hi, would like to know if there is any good Kindergarten or half day ccc that prepares the kids well for P1 in Yishun area? TIA.
