could anyone help to compare Pods with other kindergartens like Vic CWB/ VEO? Thanks!

Had no experience on Pods so the comparison is based on my research and gut feeling.

Organisation: VEO/Victoria is bigger so probably the resources is better but with less flexibility. Pods is smaller and the community between teacher/parent/student seems closer

Curriculum: both school should be similar but Pods seems to be more gear toward to the local school system and more academic. Victoria follows the ib framework

Fee: Victoria is approximately 20k higher per year but they barely charge for any miscellaneous things. Not sure about pods on this.

Victoria kids can go to VSA for primary but the competition is keen. And the kids may need to join their step up program (school fee is double of the half day program) to enhance the chance of getting into VSA. (School said irrelevant but the % of step up class getting into vsa said the otherwise)

Victoria is more famous/popular than Pods

For Pods, it really depends on which teachers are assigned to your class. My daughter’s PN class was lucky enough to get a really good Chinese teacher and an ok English teacher, so her class had really good placement for k1. However, both teachers are no longer with Pods.

I remember that some parents accompanied new PN students in September during the 1st week, and kids would gradually increase their school hours until it reaches 3 hours per day. My daughter started in May as soon as she turned 2 yrs old, so I didn’t get a chance to accompany her inside at all. As for not-so-good teachers, I did hear about them during my time.
