I share the same thoughts as you with regards to Kinderland's Chinese programme. Pat's Schoolhouse is great if you can afford it. Otherwise, you may consider Schoolhouse By The Bay in Katong CC especially if your kid is more gregarious and creative.

If a proper school environment is important to you, then you definitely should check out schoolhouse-by-the-bay. It is housed in Katong CC, and has proper \"canteen\", library, and gym facilities. Parents are also welcome to observe their children in comfort in a \"control centre\" area which has 1-way glass windows. You can't get more open than that :).

Hi,

Any comment on this preschool? Wish to send my gal there but distance too far. Does anyone know of other preschools / childcare that are similar to School House by The Bay?

Tks!

Hi Mishasha,

There're plenty of comments on Schoolhouse by the Bay in this thread. Try using the http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/search/google feature to look for things in our Portal and forum in the future before posting your request, as it may have been discussed before and hence you may not get any responses to your request again.

ChiefKiasu,


Tks! Since your kid is with School House by the Bay, would you care to provide me more info about the school? Cos read mixed comments from this forum. My gal was from PMI, so looking for a preschool that is more creative in their teaching.

Hi all! Discovered this forum while looking for a preschool in the Fort Road area for my 2.5 year old boy (I live close by). This forum is very informative and enjoyable to read, kudos to all! From the tips that I got from this forum, as well as my own visits to numerous schools, I have shortlisted 2 schools. Hope that parents who have had experience with these schools can give me more feedback. Thanks!

1. Schoolhouse by the Bay: Liked the school facilities and one-way mirrors (great for anxious mommies!).I was taken around by an administrator (nice lady) and so didn't meet the principal or any teachers, so couldn't get a feel about the teaching staff. Chief, read that your girl was studying here. Is she still here? Would like to hear your comments about the teachers and curriculum. Is their K1 and K2 work good? Fun as well as prepares sufficiently for Pri 1? I prefer not to change schools once my boy is settled in, so must look ahead.

2.Odyssey Creative Learning Centre@Wilkinson (formerly Learning Vision): Newly renovated school with lovely classrooms, friendly principal and teachers, low child to teacher ratio. Their approach is mainly project-based, which I think that someone mentioned in this forum is the ideal method? But so expensive - I think half day is $1200, full day is $1500 (per month, before GST and MCYS subsidy). If I send the kid here, will need to scrimp on other expenses. So I want to be very sure that it's worth the high fees. Any feedback?
