Hi,

I would like to share my experience in kinderland serangoon. My son was enrolled there few years back from pre-nursery to K2. He was blessed with very good Principal & teachers (in terms of professionalism & being caring). But like one of the posts mentioned, there was a period when many good teachers left, some rather abruptly. Now, my son has already graduated from Kinderland Serangoon, I’m think of withdrawing my girl from there. Though she enjoyed her time in the kindergarten, I find that her current teachers are not very professional. Previously, when my son was absent from school or many days (MC), his teachers will gladly pass me the homework for me to work with him at home. They will also find time to teach him the things he missed out when he was absent. I find that my daughter’s current teachers are not so open & helpful. When I asked for the classwork to be done on the days when she was absent, they brushed it off, saying "it’s ok, don’t worry, i will help her in class." When she brought back her work at the end of the term, there was many incomplete work and they were all marked "absent". I suspect they don’t do much in class also. My girl said they were always playing in the corner, and the teacher always brings them out to play in the hot sun. One thing I cannot accept is that, for convenience, the teacher even told them no need to wash hands before eating, just clean with tissue!!! That has never happened during my son’s time. I find that the management is also very defensive.
In conclusion,though kinderland has been around for along time, and they have some impressive programmes like their music and reading/writing programme, they are not worth the steep fees they are charging, simply because the staff are not professional enough.

I am staying between 1km-2km from Nan Chiau Primary. My son will be in P1 in 2011. Just took the PV form. I know another alternative is to register as a member of SHHK. But need 2 existing members to support application, also no guarantee will be in Pahse 2B 'cos they say if demand exceeds supply, they’ll go by the length of membership.


Can anyone advise/share which is a better route - PV/join RC/SHHK?

Do all 3 really have same priority in 2B?

Anyone from SHHK can support my application to be a member of SHHK?

Wah, really stressed by all these Pri1 regn thingy!
