My two children attended preschool at Children’s Vineyard (one of them is still there!) and I’ll like to share our experience with parents who might be considering enrolling their children there. My elder child, who is currently in P1, was one of the firsts to be enrolled into the school when it was first established. He spent 4 wonderful years in the school and his sister is finishing hers this year. We are so sad that their preschool journey with Children’s Vineyard is coming to an end.


Here are some of the reasons why we do not mind driving a longer distance to get the kids to school though there are many kindergartens in our area:

- I like that the school uses the Montessori teaching syllabus i.e. children progress at their personal pace of learning and are not restricted to the standard level which they are in. A child could be learning phonics at a higher or lower level than his/her cohort. Many manipulative are also being used to help children understand what they are learning, rather than just depending on books and worksheets.

- The school also has a low staff turnover and this greatly helps in helping my “slow to warm up” daughter adjust to the school environment.

- The class sizes are relatively small compared to many other kindergartens and child care centers I know.

- Last and most importantly, the principal and teachers manage the children with such dedication and have a genuine interest in the welfare of each child. There are lessons/discussions on Christian values as well as moral and civic education that to us, is crucial for children at this young age.

I do not have any personal relations with the school’s staff and am writing this to share our experience with parents as I know how difficult it is to find the right school for our children. Hope this helps!

Hello all, my lil boy is in Class 1D too. Please add me to the list. Thanks!

Hi All


I’m new to this thread and would like to seek your advice. My son is a Jan 2009 kid and I would like to put him in Pei Chun. I understand from the Parent Volunteer Form that to qualify, we have to stay within 2km of the school. Although we intend to move by the time we register him for school, I’m wondering if it is truly necessary to have an address within 2km of the school to qualify for PV registration.

Appreciate if someone can advise! Thank you.
