Uhm.. this I'm not sure, bcos I only know LV@Alpha.. never visit the NUS centre before.. so i dunno if teachers are new.. but among the 4 teachers, 3 of them are very young & 1 in her early 40s (i guessed :p) lady

qms:

Infant care is a new service offering from LV@Alpha. I suppose the teachers are all new teachers?

Hi qms,


My son is in infant care at LV @ Alpha. The class have 9 babies and 4 teachers, and the classroom can be seen thru from outside, so u can see what the teachers are doing insde, and how they take care of your baby..

Hi chatelaine, yes I have shortlisted a few non-aircon CC, cos my son is always sick in aircon class.. I think this topic is about cherie heart so I will pm u about the schools I have in mind.. check ur inbox pls..

Hi yewteemom

Have you found the CC for your child?

My son is now at LV @ Alpha (Science Park). I heard that last time it was in NUS. They just opened in Jan10 so the renovation is still new. The centre is spacious and aircon. They have both indoor and outdoor activities for the kids. Classrooms are closed, each group has its own dedicated classroom.


Overall teachers are friendly and caring, they attend to your concerns, you can ask them how is your kid today and they will happily let you know what your kid did at school. I feel that the teacher-parent connection is strong. The principle and admin also very good, they help clear every of your queries.

My son is going to switch from half-day to full-day, and the principle and the teachers all help him to prepare to stay at school for longer hour. They fully understand that the child need an adaption period. I just love the way they care about my son. Very impressed!

I also visited LV @ Sunshine (CCK) before. It’s run for about 10 years, as thus it’s 1 of the ealiest LV center, which means quite experienced. But the center is a bit old also (facilities). Classrooms are opened, students of this class can see the other class. Teachers are quite friendly. Curriculum is by LV HQ. The school has bus vender, you will need to liase with bus vender yourself.

Both center (i think all LV center) the teacher:student ratio is small, which I also like it.

Just my 2cents.

@chatelaine & KC: thanks for the feedback.


Yes I’ve decided not to put my son in this CH @ Limbang, since I saw the teachers take care of the kids the military way! It maybe not the whole center, or other CH branches, but unfortunately it’s happened to the class I wanted to send my child there…

I like the Cherie Heart @ Limbang and almost decided to put my child there bcos the centre is very spacious… However during my visit, i saw one teacher shouted at a small girl just bcos she fell asleep in class (it was around 10am)… when I told my hubby about this teacher shouting, he told me that it’s normal for teacher to scold student… but I feel my heart pain when thinking of the situation when the teacher shout at my boy that way… sob sob…


And at the time I visit (10am), the centre was very quiet, no kid playing or running around, all sitting at the table and wait for the teacher (to do what, im not sure either)…

The teacher who shows me around also dont bother to talk, just bring me to see the classes without a word, and show me to read the curriculum on the board there… Maybe i expected too much, but at least she should shows me her caring for the kids… She just didnt bother…

Any parents send your kid to Cherie Heart @ Limbang? Can share with me what you think? Many thanks in advance!
