Hi happywai, now then i got to know abt this link, both my kids are under PCF Chong Pang, at Blk 317, k1 ad K2 now. hope my advise to you is not too late...
So far as I know the lessons thought is ok, if you do not hold very high expectation. They are those kind of integrated programme type that will have themes each term. Currently my son's (K2) theme is about plants and seeds, hence they are expected to bring diff kinds of seeds to 'plant'. He also has spellings every 2 weeks or what... but do not see much on Chinese, and heard very little about my son talking about his chinese lessons. My friend's son in Marsiling PCF has chinese spellings... making me feeling that this PCF seems not emphasing in Chinese as well.
Yes it's true, as per mentioned earlier by other member in this link, that the class students to teacher ratio is like 24 or 25:1. You will definitely need to have enrichment for your kids, and not depending too much on PCF lessons. I believe other parents who send their kids to privates kindergarten also do send them for enrichment classes..
one thing I like about this PCF Chong Pang is that they do include Phonics classes in their curriculum, as early as from K1 onwards and also has story books each term. They do have school work but no homework.
You may also want to check out the PCF Chong Pang at Blk 309. This kidnergarten has a very different approach from the normal PCF or Blk 317. My son had attended when he was in N2 but I've decided to switch him to Blk 317 from K1, taking the tranditional one. Blk 309, if I'm not wrong, is the Italian style approach, something like creative learning... whereby the kids were not geared in writings, those type in the early stage... but maybe our current traditional society, I can't convinced myself that he will be able to cope if he goes to Pri 1 next time. Throughout his entire N2 there, I have not seen him being taught writings, not even A to Z.
