titank ah, if you ask them, they sure claim good.. don't take their word for it! Go check it out youself, at least you can see how the individual teacher handles your child and other children.. see if it is interesting..

Just to share with you.. once when I was about to go signup my gal for a trial class (famous brand)- I saw saw the 3 kids in there yawning and distracted (it was half hour into the 1 hour lesson).. BORING!! My gal and I were extremely sure it will not be suitable for her! :lol:

hi liliansim,
eduplus' principal runs 3 different types of centres; viz Eduplus, Story Island and EG2.

When my son was in pre-school, he went to Eduplus. Had lots of fun there as he gets to record his own lesson and bring home to revise. Teachers there are full of 爱心，every time the kids arrive, the teachers will greet them with '宝贝' or their names. I think the kids love them.

When he got to primary school, I did not want a class that gives him tuition ( in my words, re-teaching what the school has taught or teaching in advance), so I put him into Story Island. I was attracted more by the fact that they get to read story books and then present them to the parents at the end of every lesson. Recently, they opened up another class which they call the 专项班 ; (maybe this is what you mean by the higher chinese?) focus is on oral, compo writing. The kids still get to present the story but in their own words. Most of the time, I see that my son gets to learn new words rather than the same ones that he learns from textbook, which is important for my son because he gets bored easily.

I went to visit their EG2 class but never considered it though the curriculum looks interesting. 2 hrs per week and if I remember correctly, it is $60 per hour, which means $120 per lesson. :moneyflies:

I have never been to any other enrichment centres so can't comment on whether Eduplus is better or worse compared to the rest.
Hope this helps.

Hi acforfamily


So have you heard of the Eduplus at Toa Payoh Safra? For the pre-schoolers, what sort of things do they do apart from recording, which I guess is getting the children to read a passage and have it recorded? And what do they bring back to revise at home?
