Hi,

Does anyone have any comments on Carpe Diem @ Punggol?

I've tried calling the CC several times and they always tell me that they are full and on long waiting list...

Is it really so good? I have yet to visit the centre...

Pls comment...

Thanks :?

Does anyone has any comments on the CC?

I was reading thru the forum and realise that CD does not phonics?

THe centre told me the sch fees $39X after subsidy. Does it means that any additional items liek art & craft are chargeable???

I have not personally visit the CC yet.

hi, i was told that the CD (Punggol) is operated by the same management of CD(JJK). Ok, as of now, CD(JJK) doesn't have phonics, but will be introducing later once their treachers have completed their training now (as told by their principal). CD(JJK) has a different enrichment class every afternoon from Mon to Fri which are chargeable - for example Kindermusik's on Mon.

Basically, we are very disappointed with Carpe Diem programs. They do not incorporate any 5 "MI" teaching as mentioned in their website/student booklet. The quality and standard of the teachers are very low. They have big classes and the teachers spend lots of time to settle down the kids and hence do not have time to teach them and hence heavily depend on enrichment teachers to teach the kids. Too bad for those who cannot afford the enrichment classes. All the exercise worksheets are no different from what you can buy from outside bookshop. They seldom have art and craft (maybe one art and craft in a month).

This sounds really disappointing...


I'm in a dilemma. My son is doing well in his current at pasir ris. Unfortunately, they do not offer childcare services.

I am looking for various CCs for him.

One of the shortlisted CC is Carpe Diem.

Intend to enrol my son for N2 next year Jan into Carpe Diem Starlet 120 in Choa Chu Kang.

They promote multiple intelligences, claims to build foundation for kids academically and also has a indoor gym

Any mummies with their kids already there and any comments?
