Hi


I’m exploring the option to enrol my boy (born 2008) in Hougang Primary. Am trying to find out some academic track records for the school eg recent years PSLE passing rate, % of pupils who are eligible for Express stream etc.

Any parents here can advise?

Totorolover, what makes u feel their Maths test paper is too easy? U have kids studying there currently?


Any other feedback from parents with kids currently in Fernvale Primary?

We have booked a BTO flat in that area, which is estimated to complete in 4Q 2013.
My elder son is due for P1 registration in 2014. We found out from MOE that the only school within 1km is Fernvale Primary. We were looking at Anchor Green Primary but MOE said that is 1-2km range. Sianzzz… So limited choices for Fernvale residents. Really regret booking that flat manz.

Hi


I’m also keen to gather more feedback for Pat’s at Lim Ah Pin Road. Thinking of sending my coming to 18-mth old boy next year. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hi


I’m residing at Kovan with my in-laws, and I intend to send my boy to a Montessori-based preschool when he turns 2 next year. He is currently being taken care of by my in-laws.

Other than Kovan MMI and Sonrise Montessori, anyone knows of any other Montessori-based preschools along NEL line up till Kovan? Dun wish to waste travelling time by going further up to SK or Punggol as my hubby and I are working and we intend to drop our boy on our way to work. Looking for those which has at least a half-day programme, or better full-day programme.

Any advice is very much appreciated.

Hi


Would like to gather some feedback from parents here who send their child to The Montessori Playroom Kindergarten at Hougang Central?

Do they prepare the child enough for Primary 1 with a daily 3 1/2 hr session?

Appreciate parents here can share their advice. Thanks!

Anyone has child in The Montessori Playroom Kindergarten in Hougang Central? Appreciate if you can share some feedback on the pre-school.

Thanks in advance!

The so-called refund of $20 is more of a rebate and can be used only for the next term. Which means one has to commit to signing up with them once a term is over. To me, this is juz a ploy to retain customers.


MC is only valid if the class falls on the same day that the child goes to see the doc. What if the child goes to see the doc a day or two before? Everyone knows that common illnesses like flu, cough, fever etc don’t recover easily such that the child can go back to class the next day. And not forgetting that each class a week costs a good $50. I’m not surprised if there are parents who would still bring their child who are not even fully recovered (but may appear so) to class juz not to ‘waste’ the $50.

claricegoh:

Any1 has got comments on the above for the branch at hougang? Are they good?

Hi

Are u referring to the one along Upp Serangoon Road? Well I attended the trial sessions with my then 10-mth-old boy in June. The school advocates right-brain training, and hence charges a pretty steep fee of $600 for every 12 weeks, with no make-up sessions allowed.

IMHO, I feel that the activities they do are 'so-so' only, esp for the price they charge. After attending their trials, I feel that their activities like memory matching, flash cards, sorting etc activities do not deserve to command a price of $600/term. I feel that they just simply put a price tag of $600 just to have a piece of the right-brain education pie (to differentiate themselves from the norm $300+/term enrichment centres) and yet lack the ' real substance' to charge as high as Shichida. Besides they have an inflexible policy of not allowing make-up classes, knowing that young children esp babies fall sick easily.

If one really wanna go for right-brain education, choice of shichida would be better. I personally have not tried that but I believe since they are one of the pioneers in this area, they should be more reliable. Why settle for something 'in-between' when u can have a full-fledged one?
