Hi all,

my child is coming to 4yo this Dec. Currently for enrichment :- she’s w Shichida(Spingleaf, 1 year), Berries(>1/2yr), Christofori(>1/2 yr).

Tot of withdraw her from Shichida as recently they’ve changed a teacher which we(5 mummies from d same class) tik tat she’s not connected(eyes always blink / closed), not as caring as the previous and inexperienced in teaching d class(even I flip the flashcards faster them her !). One of the mummies ever wrote to Shichida request to change teachers with all other mummies consents, but ended up nothing has been done. Furthermore, tik the Mgt told the teacher abt it and d teacher even say out bluntly after the class tat anything can feedback to her directly … All of us so disappointed with them/ their style of handling parent’s feedback !!

Any other recmd for enrichment class on mental arithmetic or phonics or other areas for a 4yo child ? TIA !!

* P.S :- tried posting this queries on other thread but doesn’t seems to have reply form there, thus, post in this thread …

Hi! I am working mum of 3 children (4yr, 2yr and 1yr).

I am thinking of sending my girl for enrichment class as well as prepare her for primary school.
Recently, had a PTC in her childcare and teacher mentioned that she needs assistance in show and tell and her mandarin is not good, she tends to slang as she is better in English but English she cannot pronounce some letters well… Anyone had any recommendation for Chinese enrichment and phonics?

Hi PrincessAriel

I will recommend Berries for chinese enrichment.. my dd2 will start Jan next year.
My dd1 was with them for the past 2 years.. I remember at the beginning, she refused to speak to the teachers in chinese (could be because we don't speak the language at home :oops: ), but now in K2 she will tell me that chinese is the language she like best.
I personally feel that the school is able to cultivate interest for the language. Once you get the children interested, they will start to speak and read on their own.

Cheers:)

Hihi,


I’m getting headache on my daughter’s pri 1 enrollment. It’s so stressful.
I’m staying beside nan chiau. Anyone near me?

I’m choosing the grl route. Anyone same as me?

We just went to legoland last weekend. Fun but super hot. No shades n we got really drenched when it rained.

Hi there,


I agreed it is so stressful to prepare for pri one enrolment. I want to ask you if were to start GRL now, will it be sufficient/ in time for the pri one enrolment? I heard need at least 2 years?
