I have sent my kids to Kinderland Chinese Enrichment from 11.30am to 1.30pm.



I’ve checked with MOLIN via email, they replied in broken english though. I replied with several questions but no reply for almost 2 weeks liao. Finally send my kid to Kinderland.

Can someone share more about school bus arrangement in MBS.


What are the choices we have ?
What are the rates ?
What if my kids have extra classes ?
Payment by month or quaterly or yearly ?

Hi parents,


I just want to clarify that I like to mention Molin simply because my kids have gone through the molin route and I personally found it effective so far and also prices are very reasonable ($96 per month for 2 hours weekly lesson). They are very on the ball and only rest for 1-2 weeks during school hols then they start lessons again. Note that it is not a MBS designated/ recommended class :lol: I believe other schools such as Tien Hsia/ Han/ Berries/ Jiang, etc... may also be effective but I can't comment as I never try it.

I recall in 2007 PSLE, Molin produced the top 2nd MBS student though there are always talk that their std dropped,etc... but it's also a individual experience depending on kid learning style. Just want to highlight that so that parents have realistic expectations. For instance, my son

For pre-school chinese classes, it is very much on character recognition and hypy (esp in 2nd half). But they learn this through games and fun,etc... There was also alot of performance by the kids. In P1, it gets alot more academic eg the class setup in tables and chair unlike K2 they usually sit on the floor for activities. If parents provide good family support to the kids at home, a child that start in Molin since nursery will be able to recognise alot of primary level words by end K2. This was the case for my mum's friend's dd who studied in TNS, at K2, she can recognise words on her P4's sister books. I am hoping to achieve that with my nursery who started in Molin this year :lol:

Hi... you need to worry if that email comes from Lorna Whiston :lol: The teachers are all native and the principal I heard used to teach in TNS. They don't seem that technology advanced type so giving them a call would be better.

[dizzyguy]

Yes, i understood that!


I am just wondering, there’s a potential client but seems that staff not bothered.

Dear Molin


I am interested to send my son to your courses. He is currently 6 years old and will be going to Maha Bodhi next year.
However, he is new to Singapore and has only recently resided here. He is currently a PR.

Can you advise the courses available for him. He knows very minimal mandarin.

By the way, can you also advise me on the course fees.

Thank You.
