It's on a first floor of a row of shoplots, nestled between a cul de sac and a few condominiums (diagonally opposite Desa Villa). Just around the bend is where Chrisdale is.
The centre itself is basic. There's a library which looked really bare (not in the picture), the playroom is bare but one of the staff said they rotate the toys is why the room looks bare.
I waited to observe the storytelling session and was hoping that it's got some action or movement involved. The songs they sang had minimal action.
Not very interactive.
I wouldn't mind sending my child here just to socialize and get some exposure for twice a week....And only if the fees were more affordable.
The person in-charge of marketing (Suzanne) was really patient and she's also one of the 3 teachers there. She's so easy and wonderful to deal with. She even showed me all the books of all stages without me asking to see them. That's a first.
They provide a snack in the morning and Suzanne is the one to handle the potty time and diaper changes. She seemed very good with children.
Books can be loaned by the children as they cultivate a reading habit amongst the little ones.
There seems to be more memorizing of words from the reading books and worksheets with made me think if the students can read other books aside from the VY's books.
The children are involved in art & craft, reading, storytelling, worksheets, pre-writing and writing.
Some playtime like puzzles and toys, no outdoor activities.
The dedicated transporter charges RM4 per way within Taman Desa.
That's the most expensive around. More pricey that what ELC is charging for transport.
No uniforms for the children is required? I like.
