Kindergartens are tricky. I don't have any to recommend but I have one that I would discourage you to place your child. This kindy is called \"XXX Service Provider name removed by moderator XXX\" located at farrer. I had a very bad experience there. They put a lot of effort in trying to make a good impression but its all a facade.

Dear Dr.Gerbera, while we allow negative comments on service providers, it is necessary that you are prepared to provide more details specific to your experiences and personally stand by your claims if you wish to name the provider. We do not allow remarks without justifications. -

Definitely. I understand and apologize for that. I'm new here so I did not know how to bring my opinion across better.Dr.Gerbera:

There are a few justifications to my claim of course, or there will be no reason behind me making such a negative comment.
When my girlfriend's child attended the kindy when it was then located in farrer court, there were no children's toilets attached in the classroom and the children had to use the adult toilets. This is unacceptable as it is mandatory by MOE for pre-schools to have proper facilities for safety, care and hygiene. It is a wonder how they managed to get their pre-school registration license at all.
Secondly, the teachers were not all registered as we found out later. Two teachers did not have a diploma in early childhood at all (There were 4 teachers altogether including the principal). This should, however, be mandatory of all teachers, especially in one which is a montessori based classroom charging very high for each month.
These are just two justifications for my negative comment. The kindy has since moved and I haven't been near it. Hopefully there would have been some better changes.
I am just hoping to encourage everyone to be careful when choosing a kindergarten. While its not easy to tell if the kindergarten is good because we are not there attending it ourselves, a good way of knowing is to ask the child about the classes and see if he/she is enjoying it. Children will give the honest truth. A very good sign is when the child loves going to school and is happy with his or her learning environment.

You may like to try Rosy Hearts Babies. They are at 12 Lor Pisang Batu (opposite Bt Timah Shopping Centre). Their website is http://www.rosyhearts.com
Tel : 64646618. The principal and owner is Ms Chong Peng.
The teachers are nice and warm. Its probably best to call and go see the place yourself to see if you are comfortable with them :). My girl has been going to the centre since last Aug and she enjoys herself there. She is now coming to 14 months. Since your girl is 18 months, I think she would be in the another class for the older kids. -
thanks for the reply… but i am looking more for a preschool rather than a child care…

you can inquire at preschool by the park at dunearn road (hua guan).

Hello Fellow Parents,
I’ve moved from Delhi, India recently. My family is moving end of December. I have a 5yr old daughter for whom I want to find a good kindergarten which is not very expensive but at the same time has solid reputation of care and good culture.
Any recommendations are highly appreciated. -
Which part of Bt Timah (it’s a loong stretch of road) are you looking at?
