The Odyssey Creative Learning Centre

A BIG GRIN....YEAH! Decision has been made!



After a long process of searching ( after much thoughts, consideration, discussions), daddy and mummy decided to send darling to this childcare, The Odyssey.

http://www.theodyssey.sg/article/view/The-Odyssey-A-Learning-Journey.htm

Darling went to view the premises and met up with the teachers and friends there. Was fun.

These are the few key points that helped us made the decision:

1. MCYS teacher : student ratio = 1:4 (thumbs up)
2. Teacher - excellent, well-spoken teachers (key point)
3. Principal - friendly, open, knows all the children's names in her school
4. Programme - project-based teaching
5. Premises - clean, neat, spacious
6. Fees - definitely on the high side, but mummy will monitor for a few months and see how well darling copes in class


Extra key points that mummy noticed:- friends from all different cultures

- shoes cabinets are labelled with children's names and pictures...so that the child knows where to put his/her shoes
- variety of food for the week
- spacious kitchen and mummy saw at least 3 helpers in the premises to ensure cleanliness, hygiene and food preparation
- toilets are equipped with children's basin and toilet seats...spacious and clean
- weekly feedback on the progress of the child

Hopefully, with the weekly JG and Odyssey classes, darling gets the interaction with kids of her age and learns the necessary skillsets and development.
