Hi All,


Currently I have a training slot for my DD with ICR but it is on a weekday evening 7pm. Therefore really need to look at either ICR or LC for my DD where can settle on a weekend.

I'm considering between LC (Jurong East), LC (Thomson) & LC (Bt Timah). Maybe would need to bring my DD for an assessment then can decide further to take up.

From this thread, it can seem that the Bt Timah is the newest outlet. If anyone have try the foundation stage can share how is it so far? Seem like my DD whether have assessment a not would still be ending up in the foundation stage instead of launchpad.

Hi titank

Thank you the promotions listed like that is very useful. Actualy when I refer my friend we tot her child will go to Foundations but then when teacher asess, she said Launchpad. So unless your child is very young and knows no phonics then its best to take for asessment, your little angel may surprise you!
Best to check with all the LCentral branches which Foundation/Launchpad class they have avail on weekend. I think if one centre asess then the other will simply take that asessment, you dun have to do another one! Just choose base on timings.

As for ICR, I guess you must do new asessment for that school.

For ICR, if you have already done the assessment from one branch, there is no need to retake the assessment. You can also transfer from one branch to another within the same term without additional cost. I have enrolled my son into ICR and asked them about it before signing up.

Hi All,


Just went down to LCentral did an assessment, guess have to start at foundation level. As my DD is still not yet 3.5 months old, guseed I would postpone it to 2nd half of 2010 or 1st half of 2011 to start when she is more matured.

Hi, All,

I am new to this forum and after reading all the positive comments on LCentral and have personally go down to visit the new branch in Yishun (near Khatib), I have decided to register my son who will be assessed this coming Sunday.

May I know who is willing to refer me so that we can get the vouchers? According to them, the referral can come from any branch. Kindly PM me......

Thank you..

Hi all,


I'm in the process of shortlisting English Enrichment Class for my K1 and K2 daughters. Kind of down to iCreativeLearner and LCentral.

Would be very appreciative if you can share with me your personal experience and feedback on any of the above centres, in particular LCentral (cuz it works better for me in terms of location):-

1. Do they provide an all-rounder English enrichment course aimed at building good foundation?

2. Are they structured in terms of their teaching?

3. What is the student-teacher ratio? And who are the teachers?

4. Is there any huge disparity in terms of teacher and general teaching quality between LCentral Jurong East vs Bt Timah branch?

Thanks a heap!

Just come back from Khatib LC's assessment. To my surprise, the whole assessment took less than 25mins. How about other branch?

The teacher is a friendly British. Think he is a fresh graduate and a bit reserved type. not sure about his experience....

Today is my second visit there, only saw few students. Last time also few student......
My son(P1) is placed in Success. There is one Success class in Sat morning with a size of 4. They say they are opening another Success in Sat afternoon. Hopfully class size will maintain small.

After my DS assessment, I also let my DH try. Hers only took 5 mins and in the first 2 mins, she was too shy to open mouth…
