Pat's Schoolhouse

[fattysuperfamily]

The good thing about Pats is the shared philosophy across all centres/schools…you can sense the common mindset from the teachers to the principals - they all shared the same directions as of the founder, Mrs Patricia Koh. Not all CCs are able to do that…just my thoughts.

Hi, I have just enrolled my daughter in Pats sch house Mt Emily. Didn’t see alot of comments about this branch. Can anyone share about the experience at Mt Emily? Are the teachers ok? Principal seems very nice. Thanks.

Anyone know why their school holidays are usually not in line with the mainstream? Heard from other kids mummy that that has always been the trend.


like yesterday was teachers’ day which happen to be school holiday for most child care center i known
but Pat’s teacher’ day holiday fall on this friday-3 Sep.

Its not convenient for parents with other kids in primary school.


Anyway, yr gal just enrolled in Mt Emily?
Which class?
Mt Emily has very nice teacher but its too "international"
Sporeans are a minority there.

hi mint,


Buckley has a long waitlist. It is better that you call them as the principal is not very prompt with reply to emails.

mint:

I would like to put my son's name down on the waiting list for next year. As I'm not in Singapore right now, I have emailed them (Buckley) a couple of times without any reply. I'd really appreciate any advice based on your experience in making the application as I'm hoping I can do this without having to go in person.

I understand there will be a new PATs branch in Alexandra (former Odessey) and Halifax’s principal will be heading it. Maybe you can try this branch if logistics is not an issue.

I enroll her for next year Playgroup. I agree it is ‘international’ there so I am unsure if it is a wise choice. Wanted to enrol into Halifax or Serangoon centres, but no vacancy. The next best choice is Mt Emily.


My gal is currently with Learning Vision. Their centres are also closed on Fri. I guess it is the same as they belong to KU group.

Hi mummies who have "surveyed" around,

Anyone school comparable to Pat’s?

[littlehelper]

Hmm so far i do not think there are any schools that are comparable to Pat’s they are really on a league of their own.

They have really excellent teachers who have passion for kids/great system to ensure the kids are happy things run smoothly/great environment where kids get to explore learn/great curriculum that even infants at age of 1 get to start doing craft,learn songs,do gym.
