Parents Testimonials
My daughter joined GUG Katong in March 2021 and we were so glad to have made the decision to transfer her out from another preschool she was in. The teachers and principal, Ms Yvelyn were so lovely and have made her time in school such an enjoyable and a memorable one. And it was in this school that our daughter started to love the Chinese language because of her Chinese teacher. I strongly recommend GUG Katong if any of you are looking for a preschool in this area.

Ryan just started school in the playgroup class, he settled in very quickly. Now every morning, when he wakes up, the first thing he tells us is “I want to go to school”, we used to send him at around 8.30am, now we have to send him at 7.30am. He loves the teachers and already made vast improvement in his English and can identify some letters and their phonetic sounds. He can also feed himself independently during meal times. He is also very proud to bring home his artworks!
