If you are interested, please message me at 9474-3639. Self-collection only at Telok Blangah during weekdays and Sundays, Toa Payoh/ Bishan/ Ang Mo Kio during weekday lunch time and Bukit Batok on Saturdays.

Great place…great facilities…some great teachers.


Fantastic place for toddlers. Great compared to quite a number of cc I went to.

Of course, you do need to bear with the administration since it is still a new centre.

Will recommend.

Thanks izu.

Is your girl still studying there? Is she happy going to school? I heard the turnover of teachers is high. Is it true?

My child is very happy there. There for more than a year. Made many good Friends and she can call them by their names. The parents are really nice too. A very international place and focus on learn through play. Also, implement project work at very young age. Love the art programmes too. Of course, please note that the curriculum is for 2.5 hrs only and delivered in 70% EL and 30% CL. Ultimately this is a cc. Unsure if children are effectively prepared for P1 curriculum since they need to strike a balance between the international vs local students.


Yes, high turnover of teachers but i guess this is normal for a newly set up school. It should stablise soon. There shall always be such administration teething issues due to fast expansion & since there are bottomline to be met (like all new startups). Fees for newbies at S$1,800 before subsidy & GST (if remembered correctly). Renovation already started to build more classrooms.

It really depends on what you as a parent is looking for. For now as long as my child is happy, I shall be happy to leave child there due to proximity to our place.

Of course, if situation does not improve, then it is likely that we as parents shall seek alternative for the sake of our children. Otherwise, no other cc in Spore are as great in terms of facilities.

I will enrol my kid next year, as the principal told me there will only be vacancies next year. I am also impressed by the facilities there. The only concern is I probably have to send my kid to chinese enrichment class.

izu, does your daughter fall sick easily after she joins the school?

[izu]

Yes, likely there are many withdrawals by end of the year. Official answer is due to international students transfering to international schools. I have friends with kids at the tots class moving their kids to another cc/kindergarten end of year. Again, this is normal as most parents living in this area would have queue up for other renowned schools and may get confirmation for Jan 2012 enrolment. Of course, Parents usually move their kids when they find their needs/expectations not met.


Yes, was ill for the first three months. Afterwards, better. This is normal for kids going to school initially.

I could only say just bear with the high teacher turnover. I believe this will stabilise as the school moves away from most of the new-startup teething issues.

All the best.
