History & Background
Testimonial from Parent ;-
I attended 11 school tours and no school impressed me as much as Kids Mansion. I contacted them as I read from a forum how clean, spacious, and fun the school is. And how the teachers (all local) have remained with the school from its inception.
I was sold from the first phone conversation with Benny, the principal. He was efficient and affable. During the school tour, I marveled at how well-equipped the school is! A large assembly area filled with fun toys, an incredible gym, an in-house cook, and each class has a dedicated English and Chinese classroom and teacher. The curriculum is impressive: phonics, and speech and drama are all included in the school fees.
What sealed the deal was Benny, who took the time to understand my concerns and offered solutions to meet my needs. An empathetic principal who listens, is inspiring and truly hard to come by :). This was the only school my child agreed to attend, and could not wait for "Teacher Ben's school" to begin! I felt at peace that my child and I were in mutual agreement of our ideal school after months of searching.
The school delivered, and far exceeded our expectations. I love the school culture. It feels like a big family! Teachers and staff who do not teach my child greet her by name and make conversation with her to make her feel welcome. I often witness teachers cuddling and holding hands with crying kids, who do not even belong to their class.
My child loves going to school. She is always excited to see Benny, a hands-on principal who greets everybody when they arrive, while addressing parents concerns in a timely manner. He is trustworthy not only with the school administration; but also has a light-hearted, fun-loving side which the children appreciate and find endearing. He found out that my child loves watering plants, and invites her to do so. He even allows her to harvest the fruits and feast on them :).
The teachers at Kids Mansion have a lot of heart. Her form teacher, Diana, is strict and sets boundaries (testament to her excellent leadership) but also spoils them with stickers, books, and special treats! During Christmas, the teachers decorated the school in a beautiful manner befitting the occasion, and livening up the festive atmosphere.
My child was born in the U.S. and attended schools there, so she had little to no knowledge of Chinese prior to attending Kids Mansion. After a few months at Kids Mansion, she has become interested in Mandarin, and even started speaking Mandarin. She has learnt to sing in English, and can finally hold a tune and recite accurate lyrics to many songs.
I believe that Kids Mansion is a place where your kids will learn, grow, and thrive in every aspect. You can trust that your kids are well taken care of by professionals who teach and give from their heart. I would look no further if I were you.
