kenixlee75:Hi,
I am looking for a english enrichment for my DS (N2). Not too sure which one will be a better option.
Teachers from SEEDs is a existing preschool teacher where as teachers from LC are degree holders.
Appreciate parents with experience to share with me their views. Thanks.
Hi Kenixlee75,
I don't have any experience with LC. But I ( stay-home mum living in hougang) personally drive my 2 kids to Seeds D'learning house @ Tembeling centre (previously they are @ Katong Mall) MON-Fri , since my elder girl start K2 in jan 2008 with them.
I started both kids FULL day child care at Cherie Heart playhouse @ upp serangoon since 18mths, since it is near hougang home.
The reason why I go through DAILY traffic hazzle & long journey can tell alot about how good is this SEEDs D'learning house.
Though stay-home mum, I studied part-time course, so I had to put them in full day child care since 18mths. Through my elder girl's E&P abacus sch principal recommendation (she transfer her son from pat schhouse to seeds), I check out SEEDS & was very impressed with them.
Seeds FOUNDers are 2 sisters , who quit teaching in AI_TONG pri to start this pre-sch. Through word of mouth, many parents transfer their kids to Seeds. I heard they have no vacancy for most class (though I cant confirm).
Pls Call them 62477271. Before enrolling your kid, they need to assess your kid's level. As this is one-to-one kind of daily worksheets, catered to your kid individual pace of learning. Meaning if your kid (say K2) is ahead of her K2 peers, she can learn ahead , say P1/2 syllabus. IN FACT, all their K2 are taught the whole P1 syllabus , so that they will not be TAKEN aback by the \"NEW concept\" taught in P1/2. I even talked to some parents who had started their 2-3 yr old kids earlier in Seeds, by the time their kids reach K2, they already learning P2/3 stuff.
Besides academic readiness (taught in AM) , they have holistic curriculum in PM session ( for those who let kids stay till 5pm), eg, literature Art, chinese immersion, cookery, science experiment, writing journal, Project work, etc. They just recently organised FAMILY DAY event last fri 2jul @ east coast park.
each class max 14 kids, with 2 teachers. For more info, call them.
My elder girl , born jan 2002, completed k2 when she (5yrs old) should be in k1 level . So I don't want her to repeat k2 level in cherie hearts again . When she was assessed by Seeds in jan 2008 (k2), she was not even \"P1 ready\" as compared to seeds existing K1/2 kids..
Luckily, she pick up quickly & catch up with progress of the rest of seeds existing K2 kids.. She now enjoyed nanyang primary sch very much & look forward to sch every day.
Hope this helps... I hope I won't be penalised for sharing such experience..
she still can carry these gold coins to \"barter-trade\"
