      Hi


      Both my children are in the school. The Principal Mel is pretty new (less than a year here) but there is another Chinese Principal (as in she was a chinese teacher in other branches before) who has just came back from Chicago and has resumed her duties recently. Frankly I had a little issue with Mel so I’m glad tt the chinese principal is back. You can pm me if you are keen to find out more.

      As for kids with speech delay, what kind of delay are you referring to? Is it a condition that require special treatment or just that your child is slower in speech because my younger child is much slower in his speech development, he is turning 3 but has started to speak in phrases and sentences (albeit not always clearly) recently. He has sort of skipped the one word stage. I was really worried about him beforehand.

      From my experience, Pat’s schoolhouse’s teachers are mostly patient and my other child has a classmate who is quite Hyperactive and took a longer time to adjust when he first joined but has developed quite well in the past few years.

      HOpe you find this useful

        However, I do find the bus fees very expensive. Imagine, 1 way from Arena to cck cost 160 !!! kind of too much.

          Hi,

          I heard that Pat’s would be opening a new branch at Whitley and I am interested in sending dd there.

          Can anyone tell me if Pat’s is a franchise and if standards are the same in all branches?

          Also, I would like to find out more about Arena branch’s principal Mel, as I found out that she would be transferred to head the Whitley branch.

                Hi,

                I heard that Pat's would be opening a new branch at Whitley and I am interested in sending dd there.

                Can anyone tell me if Pat's is a franchise and if standards are the same in all branches?

                Also, I would like to find out more about Arena branch's principal Mel, as I found out that she would be transferred to head the Whitley branch.
                Pat's is not a franchise. They do have associate schools though (the school uses the curriculum but is run independently). I like their structured curriculum and so far most of the teachers I have encountered are responsible and caring (definitely capable)...

                I'm not sure whether standards are the same as I have not gone to the other branches, but they do follow the same curriculum, materials. The workshops, curriculum, school carnival, graduation are all combined activities with all the branches.

                Both of my ds enjoy going to school. 😉

                  thanks for your feedback. In your view, what makes paying the extra premium worth it at Pat's? Have both your ds been to Pat's since they started school? If not, do you see the difference since they joined Pat's?


                  Sorry for all the questions, appreciate your sharing 🙂

                    Hi, is definitely worth to pay for Pat’s Schoolhouse. i registered my nephew into the one at Claymore when he was 4 years old. due to lack of communicate, he only utter a few words. after 6 mths in Pat’s, he converse better, learn lots of things. now, 6 years old, still in Pat’s K2. they are preparing him for P1 already. Good job!

                      hi tchloe, jlph,


                      Thanks for the valuable feedback 🙂
                      Yes, I found out from the principal that Pat's is not a franchise.
                      I'll be viewing the premises at Whitley soon 🙂
