Testimonials

My son’s experience at Cedan Kindergarten has been truly wonderful. I’m especially impressed with their teaching methods, particularly in phonics, which have significantly boosted his learning and confidence. A heartfelt thank you to Principal Mdm Poh, who is incredibly kind, helpful, and always available whenever you message her. Her dedication and leadership create a nurturing environment that makes Cedan an excellent choice for early education!

I was introduced to Cedan Kindergarten after trying out two other preschools around Punggol in 2018. I am very glad that I found the school and we had been with the school for the past 6 years. The Management, Principal and teachers are all very welcoming and easy to communicate with. They are really good with children and it is very easy to tell how genuinely they are to nurture each and every child. Cedan uses the Letterland Phonics which was extremely useful in getting my children to start reading. I introduce storybooks to my children at a young age and would read to them. It is amazing to see them start forming word sounds all by themselves, by using the phonics they learnt in school when they are around 4-5yo. Other than phonics, my children also love chinese, art, speech & drama and robotics classes offered in school! There were a few occasions where they made food. I remember receiving heart-shaped mango pudding for Mother’s day, and Agar Jelly Mooncakes! These experiences are very memorable for the children and parents alike. Cedan also prepares my children very well for Pri 1. In my opinion, the curriculum was well paced starting from K1, such that when the children proceed to K2 and later Pri 1, they are equipped to handle Pri 1 work. The life skills and manners taught in class are also a big part as to why I recommend Cedan. Would like to give a shout out to Mr Poh, Mrs Poh, all the teachers (Teacher Shirley, Teacher Elise, Teacher Wendy, Feng Laoshi, Ting Laoshi, Teacher Gauri, Teacher Kshitija) and aunties who had taken very good care of my children and made a significant & positive impact in their preschool years! Taking the words from my children when they were in K2, “Why is there no Cedan Primary?”, “Can Mrs Poh open Cedan Primary, Cedan Secondary, Cedan JC and Cedan University?” - These showed how much they love the school.

Cedan Kindergarten has done a wonderful job in ensuring a holistic development for Saesha. Be it her writing skills, knowledge about the subjects taught,her prompt response in any situation to her ability to connect with others, Saesha has developed these qualities inside her only because of Cedan. The well planned study curriculum even helped her to pass the written admission test with ease when she went ahead for the next phase of her education. I have also noticed that the curriculum in Cedan helped Saesha to stay ahead of the kids of her age who haven't even started to write or do sums properly in their respective schools. While the rest of the kids just started practicing alphabets, Saesha was able to think and write a full-fledged sentence for her school assignments. But the above mentioned would not have been possible without the continuous support, care and love of Mrs Poh, Teacher Shirley, Teacher Gauri and the rest of the teaching and non-teaching staff. They have always shown utmost patience not only towards the students but also towards the parents and ensured a safe and happy environment required for learning. My daughter loves her Cedan school and it will always have a permanent place in her heart.

Enrolling Mattea in CEDAN has been one of the best decisions we've ever made. CEDAN has a knowledgeable and passionate team. They also have the environment conducive to learning experiences and fun that will help children prepare for the big school. Our daughter had an incredible time in CEDAN and learned so much. Her teacher's patience, creativity, and love made her experience one of positivity, warmth, and growth. We also rave about the proactiveness of the school in maintaining a clean and safe environment for the children in midst of the pandemic. Hats off to all the teachers and staff for the effort taken to achieve the feat. Thank you very much Mr and Mrs Poh, the teachers, and staff from the bottom of our hearts

Our experience at CEDAN Kindergarten has been exceptional. The teachers have truly invested in my child's education and his growth as a learner. Adjustments are made as needed to meet the needs of my son which is very much appreciable. Their learning curriculum has enabled my son to gain confidence in his learning abilities. My son loves to go to the school daily and always feels bad if he misses the classes which shows how nice the school and teachers are. The Principal and the teachers are very engaging and more importantly very responsible. All teachers are patient and encouraging with both kids and parents. The teachers are super sweet and amazing. I've never worried about my son while he's under their care and guidance. They know the importance of getting the parents involved should an issue arise, and do it in a very respectful, approachable manner. Great team – great school! Highly recommended school for kindergarten.

My son has been attending Cedan for two years, and he thoroughly enjoys his time there. He often comes home excited to share what he has learned from his teachers and friends. At just 4 yr old, thanks to the school’s strong phonics program, he is able to read and sound out 4-5 letter words. His writing and pencil grip have also improved significantly. We truly appreciate how Cedan has nurtured him into a happy, confident, and vocal child. Beyond academics, the school offers enriching programs such as robotics and speech and drama, which I believe are essential skills in today’s world. I’ve also spoken to neighbors whose children have graduated from Cedan, and they shared that their kids are thriving in Primary 1, thanks to the strong foundation in math, reading, and character-building instilled during their preschool years. These formative years are so critical in shaping a solid foundation for their primary school journey. I am grateful and feel assured that my son is in a school with dedicated teachers and a robust curriculum that prepares him well for Primary School.

Our child, Kinvara, graduated from Cedan Kindergarten recently. In the two years she has been with Cedan, we have seen her develop in several important aspects which we feel have prepared her well for the next milestone in her journey. We chanced upon Cedan while in search for a kindergarten that offered a bilingual education, along with a dedicated speech & drama curriculum. Unlike her previous kindergarten, Kinvara has really enjoyed learning and growing at Cedan. Over the years, she has learnt how to interact with different children and personality types, project her thoughts confidently and articulately, and to take on challenges outside of her comfort zone and independently. Without the continued care, guidance and personal attention of Mrs Poh and her dedicated staff (Teacher Shirley; Gauri; 丁老师 ; Kshitija; Aunty Sally; Sofihah (Speech & Drama); & Michelle (Coding & Robotics)), Kinvara would not have been confident to take on new challenges that would await her in primary school. Cedan's strong emphasis on Phonics has further encouraged our child's interest in reading independently at levels beyond that which is required of her age. Till this day, Kinvara always looks forward to going back to Cedan just to say hello to her teachers. As parents, we really appreciate the commitment of Mrs. Poh and her staff at Cedan, and would be happy to give our recommendation to other parents as well on the exemplary teaching environment at this kindergarten

My boy has spent three wonderful years at Cedan Kindergarten, and we have witnessed his remarkable growth alongside the teachers and friends there. He truly enjoyed going to school, acquiring knowledge with the guidance of the dedicated teaching staff, and performing with enthusiasm in the year-end Cedan Kindergarten’s concert! It has been heartwarming to see him thrive under Cedan Kindergarten's nurturing environment and the devoted care of Principal Mrs. Poh. We are deeply grateful for all the efforts Cedan Kindergarten has made in supporting his development.

We conducted extensive research to find the right school to help our child, Likith develop in the best possible way. After meeting with Principal Mrs. Poh at Cedan, we were impressed by her clear explanations and the school's holistic approach. Her demonstration of the school's strategy reassured us, and we made the decision to enrol our son. Since joining Cedan, we've seen remarkable improvements in his English communication and socialization skills. Additionally, we are pleased with his growing sense of discipline, particularly in how he now takes ownership of his homework and enjoys completing it. The teachers have provided an excellent learning experience, and we are particularly grateful for the Robotics and Speech and Drama sessions, which have further enriched his skills and sparked his interest in learning. As parents, we are truly happy with our decision to choose Cedan for our son, as it has produced outstanding outcomes. We highly recommend Cedan to other parents who are looking for a school that offers a well-rounded education and fosters a love of learning.

I am delighted to share my excellent experience with Cedan Kindergarten. Both of my children studied here, and they were lovingly nurtured and supported by the dedicated teachers. Cedan not only provided them with a strong foundation academically but also instilled the confidence they needed to transit smoothly into primary school.

My boy joined Cedan when he started K2. Though he was in Cedan for only a year, he had thoroughly enjoyed himself. He was able to transit very easily and smoothly into Cedan with the help of the caring Principal, teachers and other staff members. The Principal and teachers in Cedan are very on top of the progress of each and every student. They provide undivided attention to the students and know what are their strengths and areas of improvement. This was a huge plus. The Principal and teachers are also very approachable and will always spend the time to patiently answer any questions from the parents. Cedan also provides a very structured curriculum where they focus on building a good foundation for the students to ease their transition into Primary One. The school uses Letterland Phonics which was very helpful in building the English foundation for my boy and he had enjoyed his Maths and Chinese class as well. In addition, Cedan also provides additional curriculum to the students such as Robotics and Speech & Drama classes which my boy has thoroughly enjoyed. I believe with the good foundation which Cedan has built, it would definitely make my boy’s transition into Primary One an easy one. All credits to Mrs Poh, 丁老师，Teacher Shirley, Teacher Gauri, Teacher Kshitija, Mr Poh and Auntie Sally for running Cedan so well. Thank you for your unwavering dedication and your love for the students. Thank you for all the beautiful memories! I would highly recommend Cedan as a preschool to all parents.

My daughter graduated from Kindergarten 2 at Cedan Preschool this year, and we are deeply appreciative of her progress and overall experience. She joined Cedan two years ago after transferring from an international school, where we found it challenging to adapt to the teaching style and lacked focus on structured learning. From the very beginning at Cedan, the difference was clear. The principal and teachers were incredibly supportive and systematic in helping my daughter acclimatize to the teaching structure. The curriculum is well-designed and appropriately paced, gradually increasing in difficulty to match the children's abilities. Initially, my daughter needed more time to adjust to this model, but the patience shown by the teachers and principal was invaluable. This approach ensured that she not only kept up with her peers but also genuinely understood the concepts being taught. We have been amazed by her growth and development since joining Cedan. She has graduated with a strong foundation in essential concepts, and we are proud of the progress she has made under the guidance of the wonderful team at Cedan. Thank you, Cedan Kindergarten, to the principal and teachers, for your dedication to guiding children through the teaching structure and for nurturing young minds!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Cedan Kindergarten! From the moment we walked through the doors, it was clear that this is a nurturing and stimulating environment for young learners. The teachers are incredibly dedicated, patient, and caring. They take the time to understand each child's unique personality and learning style, ensuring that every child feels valued and supported. My child comes home every day excited to share what they've learned, whether it's a new song, a creative art project, or a fun science experiment. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, striking a perfect balance between structured learning and free play. It’s amazing to see how much my child has grown socially, emotionally, and academically in such a short time. The facilities are fantastic – clean, safe, and filled with age-appropriate resources that spark curiosity and imagination. I also appreciate the strong sense of community at the school. Communication with teachers and staff is always open and proactive, and there are plenty of opportunities for parents to get involved. Overall, Cedan Kindergarten has exceeded our expectations in every way. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a warm and inspiring place for their child to begin their educational journey!

“Wow, look no further” was my first thoughts after I visited Cedan Child Development Centre. I was extremely impressed with the Principal, Mrs Poh’s passion. And I liked it that she teaches the younger children personally. Besides the advanced academic programmes that prepare the children way ahead of their primary school journey, the Centre also imparts and shares the necessary social skills through their daily interactions with their teachers and friends. Both my children have no problems adapting to their primary school-life; it was all so breezy for us. The teachers in Cedan are long-serving and dedicated, with no turnover. Through our 4 years with them, we only saw one teaching assistant who left to upgrade herself. My children have learned happily and fruitfully from the teachers in the Centre. A simple concoction of a happy child – positive loving environment + passionate and dedicated teachers = a happy child who enjoys going to school.

Thank you Mr & Mrs Poh, Teacher Shirley，冯老师!

After some amazing years in Cedan, the time has come to say Goodbye. We had always felt completely reassured when dropping off our three children (Liv, Reeve & Reed) every morning because we knew they were in a safe and stimulating environment. The environment is nurturing and they had learnt so much from your impressive academic curriculum. The teachers took a very proactive and caring approach to our children’s development. Regularly, the teachers provide us with feedback about our children. They took great pride in sharing our children success stories and milestones. We could not be happier with the level of care and attention they had lavished on our children. Thank you to the entire team of Cedan who gave our children the foundations of learning that will follow them throughout their life! We like to express our gratitude and appreciation for all your immense hard work and dedication. We wish Cedan continued success in each and every young life they touch.

Our son, Jadon has attended Cedan since his pre-nursery. Jadon is a happy and thriving child willing to learn more. When I met the principal and discussed about the school and the curriculum, I decided this was the environment I always wanted for my son. Teachers and the principal are very friendly and the same time very firm when comes to discipline and studies. They are very supportive and caring and always there to guide the parents in the upbringing of the child. They also identify the potential of every child and at the same time remain focused on the class as a whole. Thank you Cedan for helping us raise an independent learner and wishing the school the very best to continue with their good work.

We appreciate Cedan Child Development Center, the teachers are well qualified, caring and professional. Our daughter Elsie right now in the Primary 1, her teacher chose her as a class monitor, according to her form teacher she have a potential to become a leader. Back then, we started to put her in Cedan when she was 3 and 1/2 years old she was a very shy type girl and scared to strangers. But over the years we have observed that our daughter had changes. She no longer scared and can talk confidently. She really benefited tremendously through its well planned course curriculum and dedicated teachers’ teaching pedagogy. Not only that our daughter has a head-start in her language abilities. Cedan had really worked tirelessly to organize exciting and engaging program to grow her "senses" in life skills and knowledge. The interactions with teachers and children through Holiday Program greatly enhanced our daughter entire learning experiences. Thank you for giving us parents peace of mind when we leave our dearest daughter the best Early Childhood Education with you. Once again thanks all staffs from Cedan Child Development Center for everything that you have done for our daughter. All the best!

Both my children, Ashley and Ashton aged 7 and 11 respectively, have benefited much from Cedan’s developed learning, enrichment classes and educational tools and they were to carry on with them the instilled knowledge even as they go through their primary school education. The teachers there have been utmost caring, attentive and genuinely enthusiastic with children and my kids were always with smiling at the end of the day when I picked them up from the centre. I am glad my children have been very happy and well loved during their preschool days in Cedan. They have grown to cope with real life challenges having been through a nurturing, caring and inclusive learning environment. We felt fortunate, relieved and thankful that we have found a qualified and devoted preschool, and my children have enjoyed themselves in the centre as preschoolers.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for coaching my daughter, Arshia Evangelina in her academics. She has improved tremendously in her reading, understanding of words and she is able to identify pictures. Her essence of her education has brought her to a greater understanding within a short span of three years. Thank you for being excellent educators. We know teachers like you are not easy to find. We appreciate your time, patience and your ability to make a dry subject interesting. We feel privileged to have gotten teachers like all of you for my daughter this year. You have helped to get her organized, motivated and above all, interested in learning, which is no small feat. Our whole family would like to thank you.

我对诗唐的教学方案和老师对孩子教导方式非常满意，女儿之前在别间托儿所读到K1都认不了几个字，基本以玩为主，后来转到诗唐很快会自己念故事书 ，学习各方面都都进步很多，K2毕业基本学完小一小二的课程，之后进入小学我基本不用操心她的功课，她自己都可以应付 成绩也很好，到了小三顺利进入A班。儿子到了入学年龄当然还是选择诗唐，刚进入学校时说话各方面都比别人慢许多，通过老师长期与我的交谈，让我能够及时了解儿子在学校的学习情况与不足，也让老师了解孩子在家中的表现，达成学校家长齐抓共管的共识，这种负责任和耐心的教学方式很多学校做不到，现在儿子基本可以完成学校功课，进步很大，真心感谢诗唐的各位老师!”

It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for Cedan Child Development Centre (Enrichment). Over the past 4 years I had My Elder Daughter Swara attend Cedan and to say she has enjoyed her time there is an understatement. She thrived in this environment. Mrs Poh and her wonderful staff make each and every child feel special and unique whilst providing them with the special and academic skills needed as they make the transition from pre-school to “Big School” which is a big change here in Singapore. I didn’t need any special classes for my daughter before entering Pri. 1, as Cedan’s syllabus is so well designed that students don’t need anything. This is exactly what I as a parent want for my children. The genuine affection and concern that the staff show the children at the centre truly makes Cedan a child’s “home away from home”. I know it is rare to find a pre-school with all these outstanding qualities which is why I cannot recommend Cedan enough to friends, family and anyone who wants a wonderful caring and nurturing learning environment for their child. I look forward to many more happy years at Cedan with my younger one ready for kindergarten.
