Hi,

Need help in sourcing a good pre-school for my gal 3.5year in Jurong East. She is currently with Q-dees at Yunnan Drive but is too far as its was an hour bus ride to the school. Tried PCF but their curriculum failed to impress me.

Yup. I mentioned the following centre in the Bukit Batok topic in this forum.

GentleLove Schoolhouse http://gentlelovesh.com/index.html

Bukit Batok st. 52, block 501. http://www.gothere.sg/directions#block%20501%20bukit%20batok%20street%2052:

To quote myself (with update):
[quote]It opened I think about 2 years ago. I'm very happy to say its appearance here, and so near my block, was a tremendous blessing. It has almost everything you could ask for in a good childcare centre, and more.

The principal, Ruth, is a very responsible, proactive and responsive lady with a solid foundation in childcare. Her staff are uniformly good as well. Very friendly and positive. I have not encountered a single teacher at this school I have any negativity about, in the time my daughter has been here. They show genuine concern for my daughter, and won't hesitate to call us whenever necessary.

Environment - NO AIRCON! The school is at the ground floor of Blk 501, just opposite a playground/multi-purpose court. Buses, 945, 176, 985, etc. About 10 minutes stroll from Bt Batok MRT.

The one bad thing about this area is that Blk 504 next door is home to the dirtiest people in this estate, so it's a block quite beloved by cockroaches and rats. Not that this badly affects the school, but I thought you should be aware. Also, the estate is home to a lot of older gen, so they do burn a lot of incense during the 1st and 15th of each lunar month - a note to kids with any respiratory issues.

The school has surprised me and my wife with a couple of DVD-Rs with videos and photos of the ongoings at school. It's a really amazing bonus.

Last but not least - my daughter is happy. Something I can't say for the last centre she attended. My only regret is that Gentlelove didn't open sooner here. Anyway, I remain so happy with this centre that I sent my DD back for BASC. [/quote]The last time I spoke to the principal (they held a CNY reunion dinner for parents and kids!) she said there are still vacancies. You can call them, or I'll check for you and report back tmr.
