303A is my block


It's opp Punggol Grove (blk 290+, the ones with security gate at the lift lobby).
It's at the junction of Punggol Central & Punggol Road (5min walk from MRT).

You can take bus 136, 82, 83, 85, 34 to the bus stop directly in front. Or take any bus to the interchange and walk over (from MRT you will see brown blocks still under construction, tt is Coralinus 2, 303A is at Coralinus 1).

I've lost faith in PCF. I'll be registering my son at private kindy but will consider 303A's PCF if they are really using Jolly Phonics and if their feedback is good. Maybe morning let my son go to the private kindy and afternoon go to PCF.

Thanks mrswongtuition for the direction!
Wd u hv the tel no. for that PCF? Cant find the no. on their website.

Hi buds, thanks for the advice once again.

Hi Mummies…


I am a FTWM and new to this thread, very interested with the PCF topic that is going on here. My boy is going two this Sept.

Any recommendations to better prepare for Nursery/K1/K2?

I have enrolled my boy to full day childcare for Jan 2010. However, still in dilema if should full-day or half-day or playgroup is better.

How should I expect when he start his full day childcare next year?

Thanks

They don’t have Pre-N for this centre. Which means I’ll register my son elsewhere.

Hi,


I’m new to this forum and just want to share my experience about PCF.

My daughter is also in the "premium" PCF at 662B Jurong West. She is in K1 this year. I’m glad that this year the school assigned a teacher to the class. Last year was not the case. The school assigned the Chinese teacher as the class teacher and she only teached Chinese lesson. For English lesson, another teacher will take over. The Chinese teacher need to teach Chinese lesson for other classes as well so my daughther’s class was like under "no proper teacher" situation. As a result, the children’s progress was affected. Many parents were unhappy and had feedback to the principle but unfortunately there were no improvement.

As for this year (K1), the teacher is great (not the same teacher in N2, both the Chinese and English teachers no longer teaching in the school). She is nice and firm to the children. The children are quite well behaved in the class. The Chinese teacher (Lin 老师）is also very good. My daughter’s Chinese has improved a lot.

So, in my opinion, not only different school has different standard, the principal or the head centre and the teacher also play a part.
