My kid is now schooling in NAFA, I think that the way the school function is quite organised and the Principal, Alison seems to be someone quite on the ball type. Sometimes she will go into the classroom and mingle with the children, the children seem to like her. However, for my kid’s nursery class, I feel there is a lacking of communication between the teachers and parent, we don’t really get much update of our kid’s progress in school unless we find chance to speak to them. The teachers seem very busy, not sure is it becos they have to conduct both morning and afternoon session, so during dismisal of class, it’s difficult to talk to the teachers becos they have to attend to the afternoon session.


As compared to my experience in my previous childcare centre, the teacher always keep us update of my kid’s progress in school whenver we pick up our kid up in the afternoon (on half day childcare), the teacher will make an effort to inform us about what my kid do during lesson time, and if there is any behaviour issue, the teacher and parent will try to work together as there is 2-way communication. We need not wait till “teacher & parent feedback session” which is usually in June or December, which would be too late if there is any behaviour issue. And in the previous childcare center, all the teachers know the names of each student regardless whether they are the teachers in charge, as you will see them calling out to the children, saying hello or bye bye. However, in Nafa, it doesn’t seem so.

Of course, one is childcare and the other one is a kindergarten, not sure is it becos of this difference, the standard of teachers varies ?
