IMAN Kindergarten & Childcare ✓ ACRA Verified

Some trust signals present, verify before payment

Parents report significant operational and management issues at IMAN Kindergarten. Multiple reviewers cited unresponsive administration, with staff unavailable for phone calls, slow responses to deposit refunds, and principals going on leave without proper handover, leaving the school disorganized. Concerns included frequent teacher turnover, lack of structured guidance, no shower facilities for children, high fees relative to service quality, and rundown facilities that discourage attendance.

My #1 and #2 went to PPIS-7Oaks (then at Bukit Batok, now at Intl biz) childcare. To compare between 7Oaks and Iman Bukit Batok, 7Oaks is doing a lot better. (There was no shower time in 7Oaks too during covid till my son graduated in 2023. Not sure about now. Iman also no shower time. This year, after lunch, change to PE attire. I dont mind, just shower at home in the morning and after fetching go home shower.) My #3 is currently in Iman Bukit Batok. I chose Iman as it was the only centre with vacancy when I registered my #3 for PG, and about 10 mins walk from home. Iman is a private childcare hence the high school fees. I am ok with the fees as my daughter gets to learn some Mandarin from Laoshi other than Malay, English, Numeracy. There was an Ustazah too to teach arabic letters and surah. When my daughter started going here for PG, it was OK to me. There were 10 students in her class. She enjoyed going to school. She is the type who does not cry walking to school. Now she is in K1 with only 3 students in class. It is quite sad and she missed her friends who left. Even though with less students, teacher should be able to focus more on each student. But it does not seem to be that way. The number of teachers decreased too. I feel like they are short of funds and their excursions are more expensive than 7Oaks. Their PTC is called SLC which is different from the usual PTC. I find it interesting but to attend, we are to pay $10 (goodie bag with some craft and snack) which is a turn off. And the enrichment classes are not like 7Oaks which has Speech and Drama, Gym, Arabic. With the high school fees, sadly, it does not produce quality. The management could have done better. I know the teachers are trying their best. I hope 7Oaks management will take over soon and revamp the whole place to make it a more conducive environment for preschoolers. With a heavy heart, I am withdrawing my daughter as I finally got her a school nearer to home. Thank you, Iman teachers for teaching my youngest daughter. And to Omma, the in house cook, my daughter loves your cooking. She always say Omma cook very nice.

The worst school and experience we ever faced. Constantly changing of teachers. No proper guidance from the teachers. No follow up unless you ask. Both of my children didn’t look forward to go to school everyday. Poor management and poor communication. Only the cleaner/helper who is not the teacher there, is making the payments for the school fees. The worst part, we actually saw the students in the school is massaging the principal on her back, when we were dropping off the kids. Everytime we want to talk to the teachers about our concerns about our kids, she has always her own reasons, (her reasons are always she’s being late, she’s not around) when we ask the teachers why we can’t talk to the principal, they say we can’t speak with her. When we tried to chat via the apps, the principal took a longer time to respond. When we called the school is to no available. It has been 3 months since we have withdrawn our kids from the school, and they have not been returning and refunding back our deposits. They said, it is processing from their finance department. The wait has been taking too long. When there’s an event like celebration of holidays, or birthday celebrations, even graduation ceremonies, parents are not even allowed to enter and witness. They told us only to wait for pictures to be posted. Teachers are not alert enough in school despite the fewer students in school, my son’s bag was spilled with his packet drink, when the teacher said it was the other student who open the packet drink in his bag and pour it inside his bag. The teachers and the principal will blame on other kids or other teachers. Very poor management and unprofessional. With the high school fees, and despite it is a ‘islamic’ school, poor management, poor communication, poor ventilation, don’t waste your time and money in this school. It already wipe out all my kids CDA account.

Worst school ever!! I withdrew my daughter from this school almost half a year ago, yet to date, no deposit has been returned. Despite multiple attempts to follow up, the principal has been unresponsive. Matters worsened when she went on maternity leave, during which the school environment became disorganised and poorly managed. More concerning was an incident where my daughter suffered a fall at school. The school failed to inform us as parents, and no proper medical report or incident documentation was prepared. We only discovered what had happened several days later, which is completely unacceptable and raises serious concerns about student safety and accountability. This institution presents itself as an Islamic school that upholds the Sunnah and the values of our religion. However, withholding a child’s deposit money entrusted to the school as an amanah and failing in basic duty of care contradicts the very principles they claim to stand for.

Not the best experience. My child rarely looks forward to school. Admin is unresponsive, often with the excuse of having no admin, and even HQ was rude when we finally got through. For the high fees, service and environment are disappointing—rundown facilities, humid and unwelcoming entrance, no proper morning greetings. A simple withdrawal form required me to go down in person when it could have just been placed in my child’s bag and the teacher informed us via the school’s messaging app. Instead, I was left waiting outside and had to disturb a teacher mid-class. The closed-door policy barring parents is unreasonable. Still waiting on our security deposit refund and materials we paid for at the start of the year—parents shouldn’t have to keep chasing. Overall, poor communication, lack of professionalism, and not worth recommending to send your child to school here.

Went down on Sat to enquire, all seems good till the teacher went like we don’t shower the kids here & we don’t allow parents to join on excursion. I tried to call in on the following Mon & Tues and no one answered the phone. I managed to get thru on Wed and talk to the centre admin. I brought up to the admin about the no showering & how it should be made compulsory ( personal hygiene and all ). I was surprised when she mentioned that the centre been practising this way ever since Covid???!!. She even mentioned she will checked with the supervisor and get back to me. It’s been almost a week plus and yet no update. For the amount of monthly fees that this CC demand, it’s just a downside that we are not getting even the most basic thing - that is the showering part. Other private CC - the monthly fees are a few hundreds lesser but they practise the basic hygiene still. Overall - they really need to chg the no showering rules. It’s totally ridiculous.
