PlayFACTO School Clementi Central is an after-school student care and enrichment centre on Clementi Avenue 3, in Clementi Central, and it is built for working families. The website describes a Positive Education approach in a Reggio-inspired, home-like setting.
The care covers homework support, with a small student-to-teacher ratio. Spelling and dictation practice run regularly, and students do daily revision sessions with the centre's own worksheets. The enrichment programme includes STEAM activities that the website describes as award-winning. Meals are prepared in a central kitchen, with less oil and salt and no MSG. The centre also runs school holiday programmes. The website says it opens from 7am to 7pm during specified school holidays, and it notes that the schedule can change.
Parents say the admin staff are responsive and clear with instructions. One says class sizes are kept below the required ratio, and that teachers take the children to and from school on the centre's own bus. Parents describe the teachers as caring and attentive, and say their children look forward to going, and enjoy the food. Reasonable fees also come up.
