Am glad I posted this as I dun want parents and child to go thru the same bad experience. It was really traumatic. So bad that my child still remembers. The other day I brought her to Cherie Hearts (Westlake Ave) and after that I drove her to meet my MIL and since my MIL is familiar with Zoophonics, I asked her to wait there. GUess what, my child started protesting saying " Mummy, i don’t want to go zoophonics." She was so happy when she was at Cherie hearts for trial but the moment i turned into zoophonics, she made that statement. I dun want to imagine what happened in Zoophonics!

And my gal has been going for so many programmes and she is certainly not the shy type. And during Chinese New Year ( just a few dyas after I withdrew her from Zoophonics), she kept throwing tantrums and cried when I want to put on dress for her! It never happened b4!!! Maybe the teacher made fun of her in a dress?
Thank goodness my gal is back to normal. No more tantrums and enjoyes her lessons at Julial Gabriel. And now she is willing to go with em to check out other schools. If I can afford the time, I may even want to surface this to MCYS to see fi there is anything they can do to protect us and our little ones from these irresponsible pple.

Hi mummies


Recentlt I have very bad experience with this enrichment center.
My gal had been going for the parents-accompanies prog for 6 mths and enjoyed it. So we decided to let her try independent prog for tods. It went so well for first few lessons. My gal didn’t cry as she was so familiar with the place and songs and play. But after 4th lessons, she started showing fear n withdrawl. Thinking it was separation anxiety. I did not react. But she started showing fear even to her favourite teacher at juliaL Gabriel when we bring her for her Sat edu drama class! As a mother, I sense that something is amiss. So i took the Fri off and accompanied my child. To my shock, the indian teacher is so loud and unprofessional. She used a reprimanding tone to shout at the kids and she used the same tone when she talked to me and other parents! She even left the bunch of kids unattended when she came out to photopy her teaching material!!!
Feeling "guilty" of being witnessed by me, the teacher kicked a big fuss of not allowing parents to wait within the aschool premise.
Now the worst is when I tried to feedback to the Principal, she did not bother to call me ro reply my email!!! And she went straight to the teacher and told her taht the mother of so so compalined about her!! And the Principal started setting this Golden Rule that no adult is allowed to wait for their kids within the office!!!
On that day, my 2.5 years-old gal came back with red cheeks. I wondered if that loud and fierce indian teacher pinched her cheeks!!! I stopped my gal from going back. GUess what, the Principal and teacher did not even bother to do any follow up!!! And the Prinicipal even took pictures of my gal to "proof" that my gal did smile and enjoyed her lessons!! And guess what these pcitures were never sent to me!! Guess they are taken to safe guard themselves just in case I surface this issue to MCYS.
Now i have to start looking for another school for my gal.
As a mother and and an educator myelf, I hope that preschool teachers can be more loving and provide our child a good start in school experience. It saddens me to see young kids fearing school or teacher. They still have a long way to go. Hope we can be the wtachdog and single out irresponsible teachers and preschools who are only keen in earning money.
