That's is a comfortable size . I went there for a visit and was impressed by a child who was learning chess with a Chinese teacher. It is also heartening to know that the staff there are committed and good. Can you enlighten us more about the teachers (qualifications, experiences, or anything you think will be helpful)? Dh passes by their school on his way to work so the location allows him to send dd over. Thanks in advance.

Most of the main teachers, if not all have diplomas in teaching. Last year they had some turnovers (almost 3 teachers for English for K1 which my kids were in that time) but the N1 and N2 teachers have been for the last 4 years atleast. They have good Chinese teachers and at times have expat teachers for English (last year for K2 and the 2 years before that for K1 and K2). Unfortunately no expat teacher this year! Some of the teachers are parents with kids either in kindergarten or slightly older, so they are able to reach to you as a parent too. Since we are not Chinese and the kids are learning Chinese, the teachers usually go out of their way to let us know how the kids are doing in the language.

Are you planning on the full day or the half day programme?

Vividlaurel

Thanks for sharing so much details, Vividlaurel. They are very helpful. I am planning to go for the full day programme. Will give the principal a call for a trial lesson this coming March holidays.
dh is working very far up North but the fact that he goes against the traffic flow the travelling is still feasible. That is why we can only consider centres along the way up. That rules out Bukit Timah area and heavy trafiic areas heading towards town.

...Anybody can recommend me any GOOD Childcare or Kindergarten around Bukit Timah Area??...

Hi evelynseet, reviews of childcare services tend to be very subjective and dependent on individual views. What we hope to achieve is a large enough sample size of responses so that we can see what most people think about specific childcare services.

Have you looked through this thread to see if you can find what you are looking for?

Hi, it's Agape Little Uni.

Hi Chamonix

I went to visit the centre too. Being a new centre, I like that everything is new and clean. Area is relatively big with see thru glass to view the whole centre.

The only drawback for me is .. utilisation of PUBLIC PLAYGROUND. I dun quite like that idea... but DH claimed I'm being too fussy.

Hi Umama,

There's nothing about being fussy. After all, your kid will be there for quite some time. So, it's best that you can find a CC that meets all your criteria and you are comfortable with.
