If you stay within 1km from Poi Ching should be saved as what the teacher told us.

Plan to enroll my child to Thong Kheng in Tampines 842C but not sure how good it is.


Care to share your experience or feedback.

Thanks in advanced

Hi, have u been there to take a look?
I am going to put my daughter at Sherrwin Education Ctr at Blk 703. According to the teacher, many children are from Poi Ching.
The ctr is quite small, but that is the nearest to my home.

Thanks.


My girl is only coming 1.5 yrs but I already thinking of doing so........(also taken care by MIL)

don't think Montessori takes in children at such young age, can call the center to ask.

ManyHatslady,


at what age do u send your girl to centre? half day?

3+, 3 hrs/day

tried many CC earlier then. Never regretted sending her to Montessori after that.

Angelina:

HI all thanks so much for all ur responses!

Well I did try to get books for my daughter to do at MIL’s place, however my MIL is too busy with 2 other nieces. .....
I worry abt everything for the family, go holiday also I plan, and yet I hv to worry abt my work. My mind and body are just so tired.

Hi Anglina,
I know all the problems... me a working mom too, got a 6 yr o daughter - MIL takes care of her while I work.

A few suggestions:

1. send your child to a good Montessori school. The school is more learning-centred and teaches independence. It teaches phonics which helps child to read and spell at young age. My daughter has been attending Montessori since 4 yrs old and I don't have to spend time to do homework with her. And the school really prepares children for P1. :lol:

2. give her some homework to do at home, and sought your MIL's help to \"supervise\" her to do the homework at stipulated time. Start small. When she was 4, I started giving her tingxie everyday, abt 5 words(simple words, each to repeat writing 3 times) - she has to finish writing it before going to school in the morning, and she has to do a fresh same one in the afternoon before I reach home. Somehow or rather, now she already has the habbit, my MIL don't even have to remind her, very \"automatic\". Increase the load gradually, inculcating a good habit is more important, in my view.

Hope this helps.

Since quite number of anxious parents were asking about feedback of Poi Ching Primary school, I am thinking to post a Q&A here, so that hopefully it will help you in making decision of chosing right school for your child.

Many thanks to amylqf and Chief

Thanks.

Has been browsing KSP for the last few days, must say that KSP is really informative.
