so far, Puntong gave me the best walk through
...the operator is very thorough...Kinderland at pemimpin also quite good...but the space not as big as Puntong...I still prefer Puntong, but fee wise...exp lah. -
ya i agree, the sup gave me a gd explanation even though she was busy and no vacancy. Unlike some others. But I didn’t get to talk to the operator.
How was kinderland at peminpin? I drove passed, but didn’t have time to go in to take a look. How is it diff from Puntong canbridge? Will apprecaite your feedback too. Maybe I can go take a look too. Thanks! -
That time when I went was the napping time for them. but the principal was quite nice to show me around. It’s about 30-40% smaller in term of space? some toys are quite worn out. when the kids nap, they dun even need any mattress, haha…but maybe because the rooms are smaller…they use zoo phonics as explained by the principal…overall, if you dun mind the smaller space and worn out toys, it is quite a nice place…and cheaper…hee.
I didn’t ask much about the curriculum cos my boy only turning 2, guess too early for him? -
hahaha…one impt ques, don’t knw if you are like me…i always check out their toilets first! it tells me alot abt their cleanliness! and plus im a cleanliness freak lah! how is their toilets? also run down?
-
Toilet ah...I didn't check the one at kinderland leh, but Puntong one is good enough for me...hee
I didn't stay very long at Kinderland, maybe about 20 mins?...you are right...a toilet tells a lot about the cleanliness...:) -
yup, puntong's toilet is acceptable, i saw it too.
in fact i have been to cambridge at Mei Hwan and Serangoon Country Club too. Of course, Serangoon one is the best cos brand new and VERY large and spacious. But too far for us after consideration.
Mei Hwan--outside still ok, Inside a bit squeezy and messy. maybe i went during lunch time, so the floor was full of food! classrooms also smaller but packed with kids.
sup not very enthu. i asked then she ans kind and almost didnt wanna give me reg forms when i asked for it! I was really abt to reg, just wanna bring home and fill up, but she told me, maybe when I FINALLY want then come get it again. Duh?!?!? I thought that was rather stupXX of her. Like pushing customer away?! Usually sups will jump at it when parent said want to sign up, right?! also i noted that she has zero safety precaution! whenever we walked thru a gate/door, she left it open, yes even the main door! with kids standing just near it.
They almost wanna follow behind us if not for ME clsoing the gate/door for her (by then, she already walked away!)
Kekeke...sorry me visited quite a no of schs, so have many comments..... -

hmm, to me, safety is the most important issue lor…more important than curriculum…can u imagine the child follow other people??? :x

Emmanuel, have you checked out Sunny Bunny Montessori? If Pontong is nearby, Sunny Bunny should be quite nearby too. It is located downstairs of the HDB block and I think they occupy two or three units. The centre is relatively new as the owner took over from previous owner a few years ago. Not a lot of children but i noticed that their toys and montessori materials are actually quite new and quite a lot.
Haven’t heard a lot of feedback here but it may be a place that you can visit. -
hi mimama
you been inside sunny bunny before?
