[QUOTE=pet;251106]1k still cheaper thn nanyang, nanynag close to 1.5 for 1 term..
acutally i should hv send my 2nd there, cos i wnt him to go acs.

BRMCK is not affliated to ACS.

Eh poor thing leh. I am not a parent, yet, but I think should give the kids more time to play/enjoy himself/herself at such young age.

Spend more time with them I think that will be a much better enrichment.

True true, but don't say this to us, the parents.

The fact is that if your kids don't go to this enrichment, when they enter Pri1 they will survive a lot. When they enter Pri1, it seems like the teacher has assumed that they have already ALL the hanyupingyi and reading and simple additional. Singapore education now very tough. Either you let go and kids cannot catch up or send them to enrichment so that they know what channel the teacher is in when in school......

pet, if you want your kid to learn grammer, etc, try learning point @ thomson (but damn far for me and teacher very fiece). There is a enrich class at balmoral plaza teaches hanyupinying, teachers from china, so so but better than nothing. Or you can try Julie G at forum for their English/Chinese class, fun but always waiting list.

Whaa..So much so on enrichment for our kids.They were all good the thought from us the parents. But I'm more concern on their upbringing on self disclpline,compassionate & most importantly show respect to all elderly.So want if u R super kid if he/she dun know how much was provided to them. Dun forget all white crime were invoid by those highly intellecture. Just my 2C

[116520]

Correct! There are some "good" school, e.g SCGS, MGS, etc in sg is very focused on their upbringing. My girl is currently studying at MGS and I am glad that she is very well-behaved.

Why enrichment? Singapore education system is very stressful and demanding. Last time, we learn things from schoool. Now teachers assume students learned things before coming to class. Esp Hanyupinying, the teacher teach as fast as MRT. I also don't know how my girl can cope if don't force her to memorize...

There is no subject being tested for ethics in PSLE and sad to say sec school look at only paper result during intakes....

Have you tried BRMCK? My daughter went to school there. Quite good. All classrooms are air-con, clean and well-organized. I think one term for N1 is $1000+, as years go, the school fee is cheaper...

Bro... BRMCK have any admission requirement? Is it half day for N1 or also have full day?
My kid use to go to St Joseph Church Kindergarten... its half day but the teachers there CMI... macham those HDB void deck kar kor kinda Aunty... they do alot of comparison between kids and do sterotype kids... i.e. one time one kid pee-ed in class, then from then, I always hear the teacher says "Careful.. this kid always lao jio one..." WTF????

Can also elaborate by "Quite good", how do you find their teachers and care giver's attitude, teaching style and environment?

[116520]

No admission requirement. I believe based on 1st come 1st served.

In Singapore, you can't get those teaching standard if compared with USA or Australia. I think it is due to our culture, salary level, education requirements, etc... There are many teachers in BRMCK. Most of them are very patient to the kids but there are some teachers not so good also. So it depends on your luck if your kid get a good teacher or not.

As it is a Methodist based school, besides learning 1+1, the kids also get to learn about God, moral, etc.

The school is clean. Air-con. Lots of space. Got computer room, library, etc. One meal is provided. Half day (only ~3 hours).

Down side is parking is crazy there. hmm... other than that.... I think everything is fine....

u think i should change ? now my boi at ny..keep thinking, but scare he not happy change sch... also he the quiet type, also ... how to ask kids if he willing to change...

think will be good if hv intention to put him acs.

parking nevermind, i ok, cos i let him take sch bus 1..... current 130/ mth... yrs ?

[116520]

My princess now in pri one... my son is 7 month old and I will put him in BRMCK once he is old enough. If compared with NY, I think BRMCK has a lower chinese standard. I heard chinese in NY very siong. The reason I put my girl is because all classrooms there are air-con. I cannot tahan living without air-con, so I put my princess in a school with air-con. I think NY no air-con, am I right?

If your son has settled in NY, don't change lah... unless the teacher there takan him, friend sabo him, upper class ask protection money from him, etc...
