Kindergardens in Puchong

My gal had attended and enjoyed 2 years Beacon house in 2010 and 2011. Next year, I would like to enroll her into Q dees or Realkids at Puchong. However, there are more than one Q dees and Realkids around Puchong area. So, I surveyed a few of them.

1) Q dees at Wawasan 3 - Very nice facility where the entire school was built nearby a playground/field around residential houses. They had indoor play ground, gymroom but the swimming pool was only half the size of Beacon house Puchong. More for water playing I guess. The principal Susan was very friendly and attentive. In term of the programme, very academic, and aiming to prepare kids for Chinese Primary school. Their intention is to get the year 6 students to learn standard 1 syllabus. Full day programme - till 6.30pm. Food? mostly ala carte like friend "Cantonese" style, single dish with rice. Fees - average around RM450-RM500 monthly inclusive of material and food. This depend on whether you sign up for additional English/Mandarin classes. Overall - satisfactory

Remarks: I was so impressed when the students of 4 year old stand up and greeted us when the principal opened the door. This didn't happen in Beacon.



2) Q dees at Kinrara BK4 - Facilities - Corner and extended intermediate double storey link house with a larger swimming pool - about Beacon house Puchong but out door. Programme - same for all Q dees but I didn't notice they have additional for English/Mandarin. Food - Very good. We saw they were serving fried chicken stripes, ABC soup, baked bean and rice for that afternoon. Very home cook food. Fees - cheaper than Q dees wawasanOverall - very homely, I was shared by my gf that the Principal Puan Hayati not so good. Anyway, this was a bit far, so I decided not to send to this school.

Remarks: There were ard 180 kids with 30 full day kids.

3) Fungates at Kinrara - Facilities - Corner and extended intermediate double storey SHOPLOT. There were ard 200 students studying there, and 80 full day kids. No swimming pool or gym room but has a science lab. Programme - OPEN Concept - all kids are studying together in a big hall, only divided the classes by half height divider. So, the kids could see and hear what other classes are doing. According to them, this was to train their concentration. Food - like Beacon House Puchong - rice with soup. Fees - can't remember but ard RM400. Overall - Personally, I felt the environment a bit "packed" and I was concerned about safely during fire breakout. Anyway, this was far too, so out of my lists.

4) Realkids at Puchong Jaya - Facilities - wonderful, and similar to Beacon house Puchong. Only with outdoor swimming pool. It was built on an empty land, with 8-10 classrooms plus music, gymroom and canteen. Programme - Play to learn, lots of fun but I heard from a parent whose kid was studying year 5&6, the teachers were very patience and supportive. Extra classes for Mandarin/Tamil and even Cambridge English. Fees - can't remember exactly but around RM400-450 (depending on the classes you enroll). Food - I was told by the parent, it was good. But not sure what they served. Overall - Good just that I still wonder whether Realkids programme will be suitable for Chinese primary school. Also, this was a bit far. Will visit Real kids Bdr Puteri later.

Remarks: Turnaround of teachers here was low. heard that teachers were given shares

Next, I would like to survey some schools at Bandar Puteri.

If your kids were from above kindergardens or those in Bdr Puteri, PLEASE SHARE your valuable comments here. So other parents like me would benefit.
