Hi,

My 4yo daughter is currently enrolled in a Fungates, she has been attending pre-school since 3yo. Truth be told I think she is doing ok, but I do feel that the school fees is a little expensive compared to other pre-schools.
My son is 2 yo now, and I am now considering to try out another school, and there is a Smart Reader near my place too, with cheaper fees. But I have not tried Smart Reader before, can anyone out there with kids attending either school provide your opinion on this? Thanks a lot.

p/s: I stay in Sungai Long/ Bandar Mahkota Cheras.

Is it necessary to send ur kids to school that early..?

I feel that my daughter really benefited from her 1 year in pre-school last year. She gets to socialise and interact with friends, go on field trips, learn about things and be independent. There is more fun and play than academic, and she likes it.

anyway what i feel fungates system was good , on the system and also method they teaching children

My nieces went to FunGates Jln Ampang since three years old and I found their English foundation is very good, especially phonics and basic grammar.

I went to their graduation concert and their performances were high standard. Can you imagine your 6 years old kid performing 'dikir barat' with perfect synchronization?

I also like the concept that the founder is doing charity and feeding the homeless. A small percentage of your school fee goes into this foundation.

Therefore TS, if you can afford it, why don't stick back to FunGates?

May I know fungates fee?

School RM 400.00 and daycare RM430.00

At Damansara

May i know the school name i plan to send my daughter to pre school. Now she just reach 3 years old and i staying at Taman Petaling.

Hi,

The Fungates school in Bandar Mahkota Cheras is called Susu and Madu. School fees is RM350 a month, excluding uniform, books, concert and field trip fees.

I had bad opinion wit them but they r fun gates!

May i know how much u pay each months? and 1st payment ?

Anyone know about Smart Reader Kids?

Hi, anyone has more information about kindergartens in Sg Long area? a few friends of mine recommended Brain Dance. Their children were very happy in that school and benefited a lot from their English program, even years after graduation. I am thinking about it but it is quite expensive too. and i heard that the traffic in that area is quite bad in the morning.

I heard they are doing charity too, sponsored 6 希望公程 schools in China. is that the recent why the fees are high??

anyways, i am thinking of going over for a look.

If quality is there... is worth it

Go visit tadika Sri perdana .

Hi, how much are those? (uniform, books, concert, field trip)

Tadika Sri Perdana far more expensive and location wise is at Taman Cheras.

From Mahkota or Sg Long traveling go Sri Perdana better think thrise of the heavy traffic.

Besides the fees and charges are really jaw breaking from 2-3 years old. 4 years old no need to check unless if can afford.

This is just kindergarten not a international school.

Anyone knows about Tadika Si Manis , TSA , Dragonfly kindergarten and Brain Dance?

And will you send your child to study in a house , building or like a school but kindergarten?

may be you want to check out BRAIN DANCE.
i sent my daughter to 'My Montessori' in Sungai Long last year and it was not good. I pulled her out after a month. now she is turning 5 so i have been visiting and comparing for a kindergarten.
My friend is a teacher at primary school batu 11 , she recommended brain dance, said quite a number of the top students graduated from Brain Dance. i talked to some of the parents and they are quite happy with it. i went to see and it is clean and big and the syllabus is quite attractive. I have registered my daughter to start in January.

My kid also goes to Brain Dance, 4th year already. syllabus is good and not so money-minded

My boy and his mates are all from 'Fungates' (12 years ago), in my humble opinion you pay for what you get...la


All of off them are favored in school (where my son is registered) because of their communication skills.

eh...I should let you guys know that I am a high involvement parent =) not a dump the kid in someone else's lap and let them worry about developing the child type.

I would imagine if you are a discerning parent you would know which is right for you.

hi,

would like to get some advise if anyone have any recommendation for montessori school in around ampang area.

visited british montessori, dont quite like it

thanks

My daughter is currently in a kindy in USJ whereby they are using FunGates system.
It depends on the child actually, but my wife feels that this kindy using this FunGates doesnt seem to bring improvement to my daughter.
I'm not saying the kindy is bad but my wife is telling me to change to other schools.
And somewhat sometimes my daughter is reluctant to goto school. But I dont blame it entirely on the kindy fault

Currently paying Rm 420 which includes Mandarin as standard in their syllabus

Previously my daughter was in Real Kids but moved her out due to we were moving house. Real kids is good, but abit pricey.

Will check out Smart Reader kids and see whats it all about
