RE: Phase 2A2 eligibility for MOE Kindergarten
floppy:
Sorry folks, you are a little behind the curve.Zappy:
[quote=\"ChiefKiasu\"]I think the new ruling shouldn't take anyone by surprise. It was a matter of time once MOE starts dabbling in early childhood education. I'm not sure if this is a good thing, given that not everyone may have the opportunity to get into an MOE kindergarten. The impact of this ruling on the private childcare industry may be quite severe, especially if the affiliated primary schools are popular ones. It is going to be tough.
Push it all upstream to kindergarten lor.
- Affiliation priority
- Alumni/ Parent Volunteer @ Kindergarten
- DSA into Pri Sch
Then the private institutions can adapt by conducting prep classes to enter MOE kindergartens or intensive interview courses too. Win-win.
This was announced in Feb this year:

[quote]The new arrangement to reserve places in MOE kindergartens for those attending Early Year Centres run by two anchor operators — PCF Sparkletots and NTUC My First Skool — was announced in February and will be tested at four centres

Children graduating from N2 in these centres will have places reserved for them in MOE kindergartens located nearby.[/quote]The fight isn't to get into a MOE K, but to get into the EYC managed by PCF Sparkletots and NTUC My First Skool. This is a through train programme from Infant -> Nursery -> Kindergarten -> Primary School.[/quote]For P1 registration, there are rules & regulations in place to prevent abuse.
What about Sparkletots & My First Skool then? Will there be balloting for vacancies or someone in charge will get to decide which child can get in? -

RE: Comparing English Enrichment Programmes

Wondering are you one of TAS direct competitor?blueblue:
[quote=\"MsCompetitive\"]Hi parents,
Just to highlight my honest opinion of TAS..
At the begining of this year, I enrolled the weaker of my twin at both TAS Regular English class and another equally popular (or even more!) English enrichment centre (in the same building as Parkway). This was cause I was discouraged by his last year's English results. I had the spare cash (just being given a bonus) and had extra time on my hands so could enrol in both. Was confused and couldn't make up my mind so enrolled in both. My main intention was to try both for Term 1 and then drop the one that I felt was not suited for him while continuing with the other for Term 2 onwards...
It was obvious that towards the mid of Term 1 I knew 100% which one to drop and that was ironically TAS (as I presumed at first was TAS that I would continue with till the end of the year):
Main Reasons
1) The teacher was practically playing games in the class with them (while some may argue that this was a learning practice...but hello to spend $458 to play games every lesson, I think not) :stompfeet: :moneyflies:
2) The emphasis was skewed towards comprehension - but its a regular class and I think all aspects of English should be covered; grammar, vocab, compo...but emphasis each lesson was comprehension and very little on other aspects of English.
3) In addition, the standard of teaching is far inferior compared with the other centre. I am not sure how does TAS interview their teachers but their standards are not up to par. I believe that if you are teaching English, the least you can do is to speak proper grammatical sentence..I know it as I have talked to the teacher a couple of times after lessons and I feel appalled that she is my son's teacher.
4) It is quite a havoc if you see TAS students when they go toilet or at the end of the lesson (that one I can put up with)...but this should not continue with this behaviour in the class. If this happens in the class, the teacher should managed it but no, sadly, the teacher cannot manage this. :stupid:
I was very surprised when another 1-2 of my son's frds in the same class are dropping off and going to the other English enrichment centre in the same building.
Thought that I would like to share. This is my opinion after being with them for 1 month. Maybe other locations like AMK are good as they are more established and being around longer...I am not sure. But one thing's for sure - I am switching to the other English enrichment centre . :xedfingers:

Singapore certainly not as safe as it used to be.
A lot of crimes went unreported. A couple of years back, someone got stabbed in the neck while withdrawing money from atm. It was not reported in newspapers. -
