My eldest was from a montessori in simei, sigh....sigh even more (*vigoruosly shake head*). Subsequently he went to PCF @ Blk 119 (now no more there) which was near my parents' place, it was so much better.

Now I find Pentecost Methodist Church Kindergaten is really fantastic. It's a gem. If you don't mind a church kindergarten, may want to check it out.

hihi, can PM which simei sch that was? Or share under \"alternative views\" section? thanks.

My 2nd boy (5 yo) is studying at PMCK. The MCYS website rated it quite highly

Hi,

may i have the link to this rating? I tried surfing thru MCYS website but din see any. TIA

Hi


I chanced upon it while surfing desperately in 2007. It’s in MCYS website, I think it’s a pdf doc. It lists out all the centres and the criteria they met. PMCK met all the criteria if I remember correctly, esp the part on principal and teachers. I was like strike gold and rush down immediately (kiasu and more energetic 3 yrs ago )

Got to go now, will check tonight and let you know the exact url later.

Hi JJmom2008


I don seem to b able to find it too. It was buried a few layers then, but now I practically click all the links still cant find it. Anyone out there can help?

It was a very boring document, either in pdf or MSWords, all words in black, rows and columns. On the 1st column is the centres name, followed by principal, teachers' qualifications, many more columns of what not, fees, etc. I was quite surprise some \"popular\" ones didn't have quite as many ticks in the columns. Anyone also came across that doc?

I guess if still cannot locate that list, you've to depend on gut's feeling and personal pref.

There's one very highly \"rated\" one, very popular, long q but we didn't choose. There were many potted plants at the corridors outside the classrooms. We find it messy and thought may attarct mossies. Also we find the toilets smell. It's not their fault though bcos I am quite freaky abt neatness and smell.

So it's best you visit the place and talk to the people there (principal, tchrs, helpers, parents, domestic helpers). I was quite aunty-aunty, therefor many willingly give me info ...haha :lol:
