Hi,


Kinderland teaches phonics however I find that focus is not VERY strong as compared to a phonics program. Eg. I send the kids to pure phonics enrichment program on a weekly basis and the coverage is much more since it’s just phonics. Betwen N2 to K2, they start from basic letter sounding to advanced phonics such as more complex blending. It really help the kids in reading and spelling.

Kinderland also uses a approach that is call WTR (Write to read). Where the kids use the computer to help them sound out words and they write story using that.

Note that Kinderland also includes weekly music class at Crestar. It’s music appreciation in early stage and they move to keyboard from K1.

Actually other options in that area would be NAFA? (long waiting list), Tung Ling Kinderland and St Hilda Kindergarden (I think some of the kids’ classmates switch there for the stronger chinese focus).

Hi

My daughter will attend N1 next year. I am looking at kinderland at yio chu kang because of where i stay and they also have school bus service to bring kids home. I have checked through the thread but did not see feedback on kinderland yck.

Mummies and daddies would you care to share your experience on this school? Their curriculum, class size, teachers quality and etc. I understand different branches are run by different people so the standard may not be the same for all.

Hi,
I was wondering if any parents here send their child to Kinderland Child Care @ Woodlands Civic Centre?
I am thinking of enrolling my son into their Kindertots' programme, but they will only have the 11:15am slots starting from Oct.
How are the teachers there?
What activies do they do there?
Do you think it's too early to enrol my son into the class? (twice weekly 1 and 1/2 hour each).
He has not attended any classes yet.
Please give me comments on the school.
Thank you so much
