MY FIRST SKOOL @ BLK 192 TOA PAYOH (TPC)
"Our journey started when my son is enrolled into MFS at blk 192 Toa Payoh when he was a toddler. I have had very good experiences with the teachers and staff at the centre as they are very friendly yet professional. My boy also enjoys his time in school and is always looking forward to going school. His teachers are very friendly and proactive. They tend to update what has happended during the day and should there be any emergency, we would be informed almost immediately. His communication book is also filled with pictures with description of what has been done in school. I am glad that that my son has learnt a lot and is an independent and responsible boy. We can see his growth (cognitive and affective) and hope he continues to develop his leadership skills in school (like he was given opportunties to be buddy eith new comers etc). Work is not overload (they are homework sometimes as form of parental bonding) and there are also additional Saturday zoom classes for both parents and pupils. His teachers are also patience yet strict and ensured that the right values are taught to the children. It was clearly eveident when my boy had a few tantrums/incidents with friends and teachers are there to guide them to solve the issues. During PTMs, teachers are also truthful (sound out both postive and negative behaviours and seek ways to help my boy to improve. Their app/portal and portfolio are also very detailed with their curriculum and it helps when i need to reinforce his learning. Overall, I am thankful for their utmost dedication and work to educating our children. Highly recommended centre!"
MY FIRST SKOOL @ BLK 153 RIVERVALE CRESCENT (RVC)
wonderful teachers , my kid enjoyed going there , thankyou so much to the teachers and the staff for making it an enjoyable one
Definitely one of the better, if not best childcare centre in the area. The teachers are responsible and caring. For the school curriculum, it will help lay the foundation for the children before they enter primary school. The principle is also helpful and fast responding to our queries. The school hygiene is also of top priority. Cannot wait for our second child to join them next year!!
We just love My Little Kingdom❤️❤️❤️ I'm delighted to share my positive review of My Little Kingdom Preschool. The teachers at this school are not only good but also incredibly kind and nurturing. They create a warm and welcoming environment where children thrive. The curriculum is designed to make learning fun, with a wide range of activities that keep the kids engaged and excited about education. Field trips ???are a fantastic addition, making the learning experience even more enjoyable and interesting. My child has truly blossomed at My Little Kingdom, and I couldn't be happier with our choice. It's a wonderful place for children to grow and learn. Every morning she is happy to go to school, she asks to go earlier❤️❤️❤️so that she can spend more time at school.
MY FIRST SKOOL @ 6 SEGAR RD (SGC02)
My son love going to school everyday, all teachers and staff are so friendly and he enjoys every moment learning in school. Definitely the first choice of preschool for my kid~
MY FIRST SKOOL @ 6 NEW PUNGGOL RD (PCC10)
"As working parents, we are very greatful to have dedicated teachers who care for our children. One of them are in infant care and the other is in K1 this year. Teacher izyan will usually give updates on my son's development whenever I got to meet her,especially when it's his first achievement in whatever he do. In the infant bay,I like the setting where my son can look out from the classroom and enjoy the nature,where he can have fresh air,see the greenery and the sky, safely. Besides, one of the activity that my son enjoy most is waterplay. Not only was there commercial toys but there were even teacher-made toys available for my son to play with, simple yet developmentally appropriate.The space is cosy and just nice for my son to play and be with his friends and teachers. The infant teachers in my son's class is friendly most of the time. For my older son,I appreciate how Teacher Sharon and An qi would give feedbacks on how is my son is doing in school, be it with his peers or even in his learning at class. The curriculum allows him to build his confidence through sharing sessions and even given the exposure to be involved in the community, like when they went for a walk in the neighborhood with their classmates and even get the opportunity to celebrate children's day with the senior citizen. This enables them to not only be able to mix around with people in their age group but also with older people. Besides that, the centre offers enrichment classes which is quite helpful for my son's learning but at the same time fun. We are very satisfied and happy to be able work hand in hand with our children's teacher and see how our children enjoy going to school most of the time. This gives us ease of mind."
MY FIRST SKOOL @ 51 FERNVALE LINK (Large Childcare Centre at Sengkang West) (SWC02)
"Big Shout-out to the Amazing My First Skool Crew! ? First off, major kudos to the principal, Ms Gillian - always there to listen and address concerns made our experience truly exceptional. The screening teachers (teacher Faa, Priya & Cheng) are always so patient and smiley, even with the crying kiddos. Our son's English and Chinese teachers (Teacher Jed & Zhou laoshi) are like gems and deserve a superhero cape - super patient, caring, and passionate about their job. Taking care of so many kids sounds like a tough gig, but they handle it like pros (I observed during 1st day orientation & field trip)! Our son was new to the school and we constantly witnessed the teachers went the extra miles to make him settle in, the dedication and thoughtfulness really touch our hearts! ✨ And a big shout-out to the new teachers (Teacher Kriz & Lili laoshi) - so kind when our little one leveled up to a new class and environment. Constantly providing updates and assurance really help make us feel confident about the changes. Just less than a year with MFS, our son's leaps and bounds of improvement, coupled with the stories he brings home daily, speak volumes about the fantastic learning experience at My First Skool. Thanks a bunch, My First Skool team, for making our little one preschool journey so awesome!
MY FIRST SKOOL @ 505 YUNG AN RD (YAC)
The teachers provide a nurturing and supportive environment for children to thrive.
A very good school where my little boy spent for the blast 3 years. The teachers are very kind and knowledgeable.
SHEFFIELD KIDSWORLD @ CHOA CHU KANG
Our child has been attending Sheffield Kidsworld since the age of 4, and it's been a year of tremendous growth for them. We are immensely grateful to the dedicated staff for their exceptional guidance in our child’s physical and cognitive development. One of the standout aspects was the support given to our child in mastering the correct way to hold and use a pencil, an area where there was a significant struggle initially. The effort and initiative shown by the educators in researching and providing information on proper pencil grip techniques for us as parents were beyond our expectations. Additionally, the constant updates on our child’s progress have been incredibly reassuring. We feel truly fortunate to have our child under the care and guidance of such a remarkable team at Sheffield Kidsworld.
My Little Kingdom @ The Hillford
Teachers and principal are all very friendly and professional. Child is in great hands and we as parents can go to work at ease. Great environment too!
MY FIRST SKOOL @ BLK 659A PUNGGOL EAST (PCC08)
My twins met terrific teachers from Playgroup to N2. When my daughter transit from Playgroup to N1, she's not used to new environment, friends and teachers. She' was depressed and not willing to go school. I approached her Playgroup Teacher Chloey for help. She tried to talk to my daughter, discussed with my daughter's N1 teachers, thinking of ways to assist my daughter to overcome the transition period. I'm very grateful to her. My twins Nursery teachers, Teacher Song and Teacher Raychel are nice too. My twins became confident and outgoing. My children are really lucky to have such nice teachers in My First Skool. Only arrangement that I don't really agree is teachers don't teach N2 children from mid November to December. They seems to be 'abandoned' Only relief / assistant teachers took care of them. Play, eat, nap from mid November to December.
LEARNING VISION @ NANYANG POLYTECHNIC
Teachers are friendly approachable and nuturing. Always greeted with a hospitable smile by all at the centre. Activities counducted are fun and creative Regular updates are also given on my child.
My daughter had been here at Semabwang Patschoolhouse from 18mths to N1.. We loved the school and closely-knitted relationship among the teachers and principal. Special mention and compliment to Ms Joena, Zheng Laoshi and principal Jerine for doing an excellent job!
SHEFFIELD KIDSWORLD @ WOODLANDS
I placed 2 of my children at Sheffield Kidsworld Woodlands branch. One child already graduated last year while my 2nd child is still continuing at this prestigious preschool. They introduced primary school syllabus fm K1 onwards, preparing children for Primary school. That’s why my child is doing very well now in her Primary school coping very well ? My 2nd son is also showing very good progress and can speak very confidently with good articulation. I strongly recommend Sheffield Kidsworld as they hv good program for children to benefit
MY FIRST SKOOL @ PUNGGOL DRIVE - EARLY YEARS CENTRE (0-4 YEARS OLD) (PCC07)

MY FIRST SKOOL @ BLK 49 RIVERVALE CRESCENT (RVC03)
At My First Skool, all of my three children received an adequate care and a wonderful learning experience. The staffs and teachers are amazingly friendly and always so helpful. My children definitely has learned a lot from the teachers and has shown massive improvements in their basic speech and motor skills throughout their time at My First Skool. My children often comes home every day talking about their new friends and what they learned that day. They seems more interested in learning than ever before. Thank you My First Skool for you have made a great difference to our children’s lives!
I'm so glad I made the right decision to send my children to Appleland playhouse IFC. Teachers are very active in updating the app on the children's activities and progress. Throughout the whole semester I can see a lot of improvement on my children's development as they have plenty of activities on a frequent basis. The teachers are also very kind and treats the children like their own family. I can also see my children are very happy to go to school everyday and very comfortable with the environment, that's the most important thing. A place you can highly trust with your children! Thanks Appleland!

My kid was there for roughly one year. Compared with her other sport classes (swimming, gymnastics, and track and field), this Taekwondo class is least worthy. We withdrew due to the following reasons: 1. Progress is slow. My kid told us in some classes the instructors just let students repeat what they had learnt in the last lesson, and the instructors stood by and chatted instead of teaching/ correcting students. 2. We signed up for weekly class, but for almost every grading exam, have to take extra classes (otherwise need to wait for long time for the next grading exam), so we always need to reschedule our arrangements. 3. In their 50th anniversary celebration, the grandmaster Kim seminars (lasting for 1h) was counted 1 lesson towards grading requirements, i.e. one lesson will be deducted from the package if you attend the seminar. Meanwhile, they called for parents volunteers to support them in the anniversary. I feel if they charge parents for listening to the grandmaster’s talk, they should purchase additional service to support the anniversary instead of asking parents for work for them for free.
Do not get their daughter as the English tutor. Late for class. Not at all professional. Speaks broken english. Fees are too high for low quality teaching. They should be sued for photocopying from assessment books and adding their logos on it.
Happy Tutors Learning Centre @ Bukit Gombak
Attended Teacher Jack’s H2 Physics classes and got from E to A. He uses a range of teaching tools like electronic whiteboards, selected examples to support his short and succinct lectures. Each lesson is equivalent to attending one full lecture and tutorial in school with greater efficiency. There were about 4 students in class only and the price was lower than other JC tuition centres

Fun Learners School @ One North
I'm in Primary 5 at FLS, and I'm super excited because I'm getting way better at math and science! My teachers here are really nice and easy to talk to. Whenever I'm stuck on a question, they always come to help me out. The place where I study is awesome too, it's super quiet and helps me concentrate better on my work. Oh, and I love joining the holiday programs because they're so much fun! I hope more kids join this school so they can have a great time like me!
Bad experience & very rude service. When my girl went for her 1st lesson, the teacher didnt teach her much things & went straight into making her sit for Compo Test for 50min. Teacher was only time-keeping. I don't find the teacher helpful as she said she won't mark my girl's Compo corrections. It is poor usage of paid lesson time just time-keeping the Compo Tests as parents can do this themselves at home, so teacher should add more value by teaching students how to improve during lesson. Branch Mgr refused to change, saying this has been their practice for many yrs. They don't realise times has changed since the Pandemic. Can u imagine u pay a tutor to just watch your kid take test over Zoom? They also rejected my suggestion of arranging the tests on non-lesson days, free up the Teacher's time to do what we pay her for: to teach students. The Branch Mgr claimed that no tuition centre does that! I told him that Kent Ridge Tuition Centre does that. He was very rude & even criticised me very loudly, "8 other parents never complain! You're too PICKY!" I told him that his conduct was unprofessional here as he should not be making personal attack. He insisted he's right & even encouraged me to withdraw, "If you're not happy, please withdraw & go to another tuition centre!" He's the rudest staff whom I have ever seen
Cristofori Music School @ Yishun Wisteria
Our time at Cristofori Music School in Wisteria Mall has been truly wonderful. The Teacher here are not only highly skilled but also incredibly supportive, making learning a joy for our child. The school's environment fosters creativity and growth, and the facilities are impressive, offering students everything they need to thrive musically. We wholeheartedly recommend Cristofori to any parent seeking to nurture their child's musical talent in a welcoming and inspiring setting.
not bad. very focus. teachers are relatively well trained. not too pushy on selling courses. should pen earlier on weekends..
Just Education Learning Centre @ Pasir Ris

MindSpace @ Aranda Country Club (Pasir Ris)

"Improved math with MPM math!" Tan Yu Ru Jaslyn Primary 3 - 2021 When Jaslyn started Primary 1, we found that she was struggling a lot to understand the Math concepts and particularly had difficulty with the word problems. Initially we thought she just needed time to get use to Primary school. But when things did not improve in Primary 2 and the school was going much faster than she could follow. We decided to give MPM math a try after reading about it online. Now 1+ years on, Jaslyn's Math has improved tremendously. She can now cope well with her Math school work and was even able to score full marks in her last Term Assessment.
"Improvement & Confidence Build in Solving math Problems" Parents of Lau Yu Xuan, P5 YuXuan scored only 53 in SA1, we decided to enroll her into MPM math after some research. Ever since YuXuan joined MPM math, she got more confidence in approaching and solving different math problems. The methodology taught in MPM math helped YuXuan to look at math problem in the right way. YuXuan is very happy learning in MPM math. We believed we have made the right decision to enroll her into MPM math because YuXuan did us proud and scored 96 for her math in her SA2.
All the good teachers which tutored my 2 kids have left the centre after being forced out by management. Quality of notes are poor. Incidentally, some of the questions in the science notes were photocopied from assessment books. Only realised it as I bought the same assessment books for my kids.
The center is owned by a phd graduate and his wife. The phd graduate is auper proud and impatient. My child did not wear their uniform t shirt for a few times because we adults were not able to send him back home to change his clothes because of some last minute unforseen reasons. The phd scolded my child in front of the whole class because of that till my child became phobic of going into the classroom. Though we explained and apilogized for our adults fault, he still vented it on the child and raised voice at us in front of others. The uniform is for us to help them advertise and unlike actual school setting is for children to learn to abide by the law and discipline for goodness sake! This is a center which creates fear in kids to ensure we help them with their marketing. We can't get the refund of the seasonal tution fee that we have to put up with it.hope no others qill habe to face the same nonsense.
The staff is nice and kind, my 4y old kid likes the class here. The teacher also gave timely feedback after class.

LCentral English @ Tiong Bahru
I am a satisfied parent here. I would like to share my child’s journey in Lcentral @Tiongbahru. My child started her first ride with Lcentral from last term of P2 as I was afraid she could not do well in her creative writing as our main language is not English. I was impressed with her result after 2 terms, she scored 2marks away from full marks, she maintained either full marks, 97-98 through out the P3. So I decided to let her do on her-own without any guidance at term 2 of P4 and surprisingly she was still able to maintain the same result even after quitting from Lcentral. I CAN ONLY SAY LCENTRAL REALLY EQUIPPED HER WITH THE VERY STRONG FOUNDATIONS. Thank you so much LCentral ❤️❤️❤️ The story is not end here, she scored 90 for her P5 SA2, which is at the bottom line of AL1, so she asked me whether she could go back to Lcentral , and of course! I just signed her today. I will share her PSLE Preparation progress here next year.
The staff are authentic people who truly genuinely treat the children like their nieces, nephews. Awesome!
All That Jazz Dance Academy @ Claymore Hill
A teacher did keep my young boy after class without tell parents. When time for pick up and I didn’t find my son. Make me so scared because I don’t know what is bad with my son and me very scared too if something bad happens with my boy. He just 4 years old only. When I find my son and he very scared that teacher. My son told me about he asked teacher for leave for few times but teacher told him Sit. (She keep my son in room and not let him leave room. ) That teacher make my son start scared and feeling not safe in room with her. I asked for full video CCTV but answer they deleted already. They just keep shooting coppy videos for few minutes and not let I keep it. After that happened my son scared and not want go to school. He scared teacher women and have long hair like her. That not safe for young kids who don’t know how to protect them self or ask for help!!!
