Hi, the principal is the one with the curly hair a bit chubby. She always try to speak very slowly and politely during 1st visit. You can look at the attendance on the table, there are less than 15 children in pre nursery, at different levels too… its a far cry when my child was in Kinderlandd… standard had deteroriated… the owner of the school always say she will inform the principal and the principal NEVER follow up or listen…When you mentioned your daughter is a bit hyper active so she screamed a bit and they looked at her like she was the most ill mannered kid around.I can imagine that situation coz that is exactly the way they will treat children who do not listen or behave to their expectations… My friend’s daughter was in the same centre and is in P1 now too… Shes also pretty hyper and she was always scolded and sometimes the teacher will pull her ears and hair… you should consider twice and thrice before you decide to put your daughter there…

My child has completed his preschool in Kinderland besides Lot 1. These are some of our comments based on our experiences. Curriculum wise, there are music class and phonics, they are good, however, need to pay extra on top of the month school fees of around $1100. There are field trips and library visits too and need to pay for the transportation and expenses for each trip. However, at times, during field trips, the principal will instruct the cooking aunty to make miserable sandwiches for the kids’ lunches. Environment wise, the place is clean and fully air conditioned. Personnel, the admin, teachers are pretty kind and good to children. The cooking aunty and cleaning aunty are also nice and friendly. The only exception is the Principal Mdm W**, she is probably the most unprofessional, unreasonable and rude principal whom we ever met. As I am close to my child and his classmates, they will often complain to me that the principal always shouts at the teachers and students. The most recent incident was that she hired a cheapo and unprofessional photographer (who operated from his hdb flat in choa chu kang) to take graduation photos of the K2 kids in kinderland premises. The kids were dressed in untidy and un-ironed inner clothes with the graduation gowns. When we checked with her, she said she could not do anything as that was the service rendered by the service provider. When I spoke to the photographer Mark over the phone, his attitude was as bad as the principal. Can you imagine if she had catered food that are prepared in unclean environment and she responded in the same manner? She is utterly unreasonable and refused to refund the payment we had made for graduation photos. I had informed her that I would provide feedback to the HQ in Toa Payoh, she replied go ahead. And after I did, the next day she called me to say she will do the refund. For some field trips, she would require the parents to take leave from work to participate as volunteers as they do not have enough teachers to look after the children. Ration will be like 1 teacher to 5 children. Your may want to ask yourself if you feel safe having such arrangements. If you had gone to visit Kinderland to indicate that you are interested to enrol your child, she appeared very soft spoken. However, if you had given feedback to her and needed her to take action,she would either appeared to say, she is not aware, it is not her fault, she will check or her attitude will change. My child has received praises from his teachers in Kinderland and he is sometimes hate to go to Kinderland for fearing the principal will shout at them. I am glad that my child is enjoying his primary school life now.
