Hi XYZ1

I'll check out the ctr then, is it mainly learning thru speech n drama, poems, stories etc? Thks!

Hi...Berries try to teach chinese in a fun way...for the pre-primary kids.
My kids...and many of my other friends' kids all seem to enjoy this \"fun\" way of learning mandarin.
Once they hit K2 level, they introduce hanyu pinyin and for their primary sch levels, they follow the MOE chinese curriculum closely...
in fact, they actually prepare your child well for higher chinese in pri sch..this is my personal experience la.

hi lakeside mum

seems like so far, everyone has great comments on the principal n teachers, curriculum, thks for sharing! i read in other threads, it's a mixture of +ve n -ve comments for other sch, but jck is the only 1 with +ve comments!

Hi, well, it purely my experiences with JCK, since my boy has been there since nursery and he is now in K2. Now that, my gal is in Nursery, I have more interactions with the Principal, teachers and even the bus operators. So far, so good.

hi, you may consider sending your kid to MMI in JW enrichment centre for pre-nursery, they call them Workgroup. It's fun, and my gal was there last year before joining JCK this year. She learnt montessori phonics etc. Quite good. The teachers are nice too.

i emailed the school to enquire about curriculum n to arrange a visit if possible, but Patricia, whom I think is the principal(?), never replied since last Wed…only replied once before that regarding date of registration n that’s it. i called up also received no response…so far, my experience is so-so only, can’t gauge the school like mummies here.

Can I ask a dumb question? Is Jurong Calvary Kindergarten the same as Calvary Church Kindergarten?

Hi,


Does anyone know when the next Parent-Teacher session will be for nursery kids? Will it be before Sep break or have to wait for year-end?

Anyone with older kids at JCK able to advise?

On another issue, I notice that the kindy has off-days (on top of usual school holidays/public holidays) almost every month. Usually when there are special events, there will be an off-day for either the am/pm session the following day….not sure if this is the usual practice in other kindys….Any parent knows if the school can give us a list of the dates where there is a school off-day for the whole year, so that we can plan our schedule accordingly?
