For my DD (P1 this year), we sent her to after sch care instead of sending her to my mom cos my DD was already with the childcare centre offering this service since K2. This helped to lessen the transition problems at school. The other children at the after sch care also come from the same pri sch and she has known them since K2, so this helped her settle into her new sch quickly.

The bonus is that for this centre, they hired a teacher specially for the after sch care children and she would pick them up at the pri sch and bring them to the centre. She would also give them assessments to do (which we pay for) and she will supervise and mark them. She helps with the weekly spelling revision as well. She will also plan activities suitable for pri sch children that they will carry out after tea time and during holidays.

If you are undecided, check if the centre has such a teacher and will treat the pri sch children as a separate class and plan with them in mind, or if the centre just babysits them and rotates the duty among the existing teachers, with no special planning for this group.

andrew, it's Gentle Love Schoolhouse at Bt. Batok. You can read about sashimi's (my DH's) post about it here: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=130&start=75


It also has its own website here: http://gentlelovesh.com/

Please note that the teacher only picks up the children personally from one primary school, Lianhua Pri, because that is where all the BASC children come from and it is less than 5 minutes' walk away. If your child goes to another school, and you wish to enrol him/her there, you may have to make your arrangements to send him/her there after school.

Please also note that Lianhua Pri is a single session sch so sch ends at 1-130 pm. Therefore, I do not know if the teacher in-charge of the BASC class will be there early in the morning.

If you are keen, just call them and ask. Ms Ruth, the supervisor, is very knowledgeable and approachable.
