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.

Hello,

Thank you very much for the info; Appreciates...Guess got to let my little son \"plays\" for another year before registering with JCK :lol:[/quote]

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?

I read that JCK is very popular… do I have to register like way in advance???

Hi Pinkitty,


Yes, you have to. How old is your child?

I understand that there is a long waiting list for next year’s nursery, K1 & K2 classes.
