Hi All,



Really not so easy to evaluate CC esp reqd time to go visit them during the office hours. BTW should we choose CC near to our house or near our workplace?

there was a similar discussion in another forum. Many working mothers felt that its more convenient to choose a CC nearer to office. this is esp helpful if you need to work later than expected and fetching the children will be less of a hassle. Travelling time is cut down substantially.

Of course it also depends on the arrangement about who fetches the children- whether its the daddy or the mother.

Hi,


Thanks for the information, CC location quite important as whether it is the DH or DW to pick the child up. Is it all CC have a time frame where by 7pm need to pick up the child as if not there would be penalty like 5 min at $1?

My two elder children were from Damien. We chose it cos its the only kindy offering tamil in this vicinity. No regrets as both children were adequately prepared for Pri 1. As the population of Indian children is rather high, you will find the chinese classes smaller than usual which enables the teacher giving more attention to each child.

However there has been a change in management in recent years and I heard from other parents that its not like before. So I am back to square 1 looking for a kindy for my 5yo

Based on what i have read so far, I may choose Good Shepherd Kindy as my nephew and nieces were from there, many years ago

We eventually chose True-way, the place is newly renovated so it's quite spacious. Their cirriculum is not bad, based on what the principal tell us, overall of school is not bad.

We tried Good Shepherd but there's no slot for school bus so no no for us.

As for appleland in depot, lagi cheaper. ~$200 after subsidy. Aircon too!

EDUCA-ZION GROUP depot shopping centre $700 after subsidy! aircon too. branded than cherie hearts? Some more heard full house! The operator must be really $$.

Hi happy daddy,

I have striked appleland off my consideration as the place is too cramp... though cheap but i think its crucial to have reasonable area for the kids to 'move' around....EDUCA_ZION, I went too, but was told that will have to be on waiting list..so now left on my list are cherie hearts depot, sparkle tots at alexandra.. I am exploring arts kidz at tiong bahru CC too... heard that its not bads...:D

Hi all,


I am new to this forum, had just start searching a pre school for my boy for next year enrolment into play group. I would like to check if anyone had more info on Arts Kids @ Tiong Bahru CC lately (ie in May)? The good reviews i read are till Mar and i know they applied for the MYCS licence and got approved in Apr. There is a bad comment on their admin part in the other forum, due to the subsidies issue, apparently they are limiting the subsidies to local parents. So i am not too sure if i still want to look into this sch although i find that their program is good. Any comments?
