Things to consider when choosing a Kindergarten-Postponed to another date (TBC)

Choosing a kindergarten is like choosing the material structure for your house. It’s so, so important to choose the right one! But how do you possibly decide with all the options available in Singapore?

To help in your choice, the team at the Canadian International School is giving you an opportunity to pick the brains of Dr Colleen Drisner, Primary Principal of the CIS Lakeside Campus. During this talk, Colleen will discuss:

• how learning is appropriately tailored to your child;
• how community shapes the learning environment and your child (yes, it does take a village!);
• the concern about being a “big school” – how the little ones get missed;
• the school’s bilingual programme;
• COVID backup plans; and,
• how the IB curriculum develops in your child’s learning career.

You can submit any questions you might have (anonymously) by following this link.

Date: 27 October
Time: 10am
Place: Zoom Online
Price: Free
