It used to be a good preschool in the middle range with good curriculumn but old dated favilities. Currently very disappointed with them as nothing has changed but they just keep raising the fees unjustifiably (more than 40% among the last 4 yers) while the facilities are still very old, no plyground outside and teachers just keep leaving extremely often. Last announcement is a rise of 17% (15% last year) in the fees with a proce of around 2,200 sgd per month. They are charging similar amount to high rated preschools not offering the same services. It’s a pitty as they will loose their pupils. Very very disappointed. Parents we don’t get such a pay rise in our salaries
