How DuoDuo Keeps Parents Informed Without Homework at Home
DuoDuo Kidz Academy keeps parents informed through three channels that require nothing from the parent: a same-day update at pick-up, a personal progress chart for every child, and live word-recognition tests where parents watch their child read. The centre handles the teaching, the homework guidance and the revision; the parent's role is to receive the information and enjoy the evening. Parents are never asked to coach at home.
The principle: the centre does the work and reports back
Many centres send children home with extra worksheets and expect parents to supervise. DuoDuo Kidz Academy does not. The promise is that teaching, homework guidance and exam revision happen at the centre, with one teacher to one child, and that parents are told clearly what happened.
This matters most for dual-income families and for parents who cannot read the language their child is learning. A parent who does not read Chinese should still know exactly how many characters their child has secured this month.
Channel one: the same-day update
At pick-up, the teacher gives a short verbal summary: what was worked on, what was hard, and whether homework was completed. If any homework is unfinished, you are told the same day with the reason. DuoDuo does not promise 100% completion; it promises that you will never find out at 9pm.
The update is short on purpose. Two minutes at the door every day tells you more than a long report once a term.
Channel two: the personal progress chart
Every child has a personal progress chart (个人专属进度表) showing which words are secure, which are new and which are under review, in each language. It is the teacher's working document, not a marketing sheet, and parents can see it whenever they ask.
Because the chart tracks words rather than marks, it moves every week. You can see the line rising from 300 words to 500 to 1,000 without waiting for a school exam to confirm it.
- Words secure, new and under review, per language
- Where the child sits on the staircase targets for their age
- What the next few lessons will cover
Channel three: live word-recognition tests
At intervals, parents are invited to watch their child read words live at the centre. Nothing is staged; you simply sit and watch your child do what they could not do a few months ago.
For many parents this is the moment the decision to join feels settled. It is also the clearest possible answer to the question “is it working?”
What parents are not asked to do
Parents at DuoDuo are not asked to run flashcards, mark worksheets, supervise revision or re-teach anything. If a parent wants to read a bedtime story, that is a gift, not a duty. The learning load sits with the centre.
To see how the feedback works in practice, book a free 60-minute 1-to-1 trial in one language and ask the teacher to walk you through the chart. WhatsApp DuoDuo Kidz Academy at 011-2828 8676.
FAQ
What if I want more detail than the daily update?
Ask to see the personal progress chart at any time, or ask the teacher for a longer conversation. Teachers are available Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 7:00pm.
Do I need to check my child's homework after Educare?
No. Teachers check and guide homework at the centre, and you are told the same day if anything is unfinished and why.
