Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience. We appreciate your honesty and take what you have said seriously. We are always looking at ways to improve our working environment and have our employees feel valued and satisfied. We strive to have co-teachers in all kinder level classes. Given that we are a training centre, the working hours are industry standard and unfortunately cannot be changed. We aim to communicate the working hours and other conditions prior to signing of the employment contract. Lastly, we are constantly reviewing and updating our curriculum. Thanks again for taking the time to write this and we wish you all the best in your future endeavours!
