Hi again,

that's good activities in the kindergarten. I will not want to say that Kinderland offers zero outdoor activities, but it is a rare sight.

The reason I didnt take my kid out of Kinderland sooner was cos she has gotten use to the routine. She was crying everyday when she started school for a week. Heartbreaks.....:(

Most importantly, your daughter needs to enjoy school and looking forward to the school's activities everyday as well as learning something new. Which Kindy is your child in? Is it possible to sign up for both AM and PM session like a childcare? Or arrange alternative help so that you daughter can still enjoy the same school and does not have to start all over again to get use to a new place. Having said that, children adapt very fast.

Hi busymommyxu


My child is born in the same year and maybe your daughter will be in the same class as mine. 3 children from her class just quit recently. I am thinking of withdrawing her from school as well.

After I attended/observed the first 3 days of classes with my kid, it was below my expectation. But again, every parent and child is different. I prefer to have school trips and more activities for kids at this age. There is hardly any art work, not even a card for Mothers Day...:(

I have to buy some art work and work with my kid at home during weekends.

This is just my point of view.

Hi caringparent,


I am sorry to hear about your experience.
The standards of the teachers in each childcare center differ greatly. Sometimes you re require to trial and error to figure out if the center is good which means the kid will have to go through another time of getting use to. I have seen 3 different child care centers and placed my child in the 4th one, and still not to my liking. My child is in Kinderland MOE for half day only as I am just not sure if the school can cope with so many children in the class. But I am aware that kids are very resilient and they can adapt quickly. They are such amazing creatures....

Hi…

i went to the open house last Saturday at Kinderland MOE… i visited the PN2 Creative 1 class, it was so nicely decorated. The class is full of learning corners. It is resource rich…
My boy will definately love it.
Btw when are you dropping by? can we meet up…[/quote]


Sure will PM you to arrange.

Hi Lily,

I think you saw the outside where the older kids are. PN2 classes are inside and you probably can’t see it from the office. There are good and bad thing about the school. What i don’t like is that they do everything within the same class room, i.e eat, read, play, learn and sleep. Her classroom is pretty boring and everything is kinda old. there are no bright art work or happy decoration. …etc.

This is just my opinion maybe it will be different from your experience.

One of the reason I didn’t want to switch my child out is that I dont wish to start all that crying all over again! I was thinking for a long time to switch her out after 1 week…!!!

my child started in March this year.

:please: That's great!!! Hope she love school now.. it takes some time to adjust I guess.

I just wonder :imanangel: but have yet to ask how is the school and turnover? Children easily get sick or any HFMD case..

there is a HFMD outbreak now in PN2.
I think some parents are planning to withdraw their kids in May. I know that the class is very full. Was there a waiting list?

my child started in March this year.

To be honest, I am not sure what they do in school cos the comms book is empty. The teachers seem to be very preoccupied with the kids and no time to write/feedback. Have your son been in school before? Hope he will adapt well. My child was crying for a month....heartbroken :(. She is ok now.


Don't have too high an expectation. Have you had a school tour ?

Hi LilyGoh,

Yes, she is in school everyday for half day. They will be in the same class ! yes, I will be glad to meet when is he starting class. Superb

that's good to know. Every center is different as it is the teachers that made the difference. I also think that every pre-school has their own plus and minus points.

My 3 year old daughter's class has 22 students and I often wonder how the 2 teachers cope. So far, they don't have outings or any play or concerts..etc. I have no idea what they do in school. Perhaps they just play with each other as there is no toys except for a set of old lego in her classroom.
