Rulang Primary

RRMummy:

Hi all,

Please recommend which BASC do you send your kids to.
Thank you in advance

Dd used to go to Pro Teach until p3.
I find that the staff tends to send the kids (pm session) quite early to the school (eg around 11.40am) and hence their duty is off.
There are a few BASC around the school.
One BASC (maybe near Shuqun) sends the kids around 12.15pm.

Hi starlight196sg,

Thank you for the prompt reply.

11.40... so what do they do at the school with so much time on hand?

Besides being sent early, the overall care, guiding and environment is good?

Do you mind telling me which center is your DD attending now? The one opposite Shuqun?

TIA

Once the kids are in the school, they do their own things. My \"complain\" is: breakfast around 8am and lunch at 11am. How to digest the food?
The overall care, guiding and environment is above average in Pro Teach. It has many branches in Spore.

My girl attended Pro Teach.

BASC is good for lower primary. Once kids reach upper primary (in morning session), they stay in the school about thrice a week. When these supp lessons or activities are over, it is almost 5pm and about time to go home.

Thanks for the input. I can already imagine my DD running around and all sweaty before school :slapshead:

Ya.. 3 hour quite short.. unless the breakfast is really light... :idea:

I would appreciate it very much if you could give me more details on other good options eg. the one you mentioned near Shuqun. Is it the one below block 514? :?:

By upper primary, I will still have to worry where my DD will go to after school on those days when she has no CCA, if without BASC...

RRMummy,

Do you pick up your kid at the side-gate? After the side-gate, there is a little lane across to the next hdb block. I GUESS that BASC which brings kids to Rulang at around 12.15pm is there. I am unsure the quality but I have seen a lot of Rulang students walking to the school with the BASC staff as many as 3. You can imagine the line of kids is quite long.
In addition, it is sheltered all the way to the school. You can go there to find out.

For Pro Teach, kids have to use the traffic light to cross the road. Though with 2 BASC staff, they are exposed to rain or shine.

Yes, esp little boys, once they reach the school, they head straight to the field or somewhere to play.

When kids are in the upper primary, you have to start training them to be independent. I think BASC has many lower primary kids but when comes to upper primary, there are not many as lower primary.

:thankyou: Starlight!! You have been extremely helpful.


My DD is going to P1 next year, so I'm planning for all these arrangements before the places are all choped..

That was also my consideration on the rain and shine part. I called them sometime last month.The supervisor told me that they will normally use the front gate as at the timing that they send the kids over, the gate is still locked.. I will go check-out that center in person.

My DD1's character is like a boy.. she will choose running play for sure... :lol:

We'll have to gauge her maturity when the time comes.. for now I think we'll worry about P1 registration and coping with the changes in the coming year..

RRMummy,

Go look around Rulang for the few BASCs.
The side-gate opens around 12.15pm or later. You have plenty of time to decide since your child will be p1 next year.
Another plus point of BASCs around the school is: your child will have "companions" from the same school or even same class. They will learn the same spelling list, prepare & sit for the tests at the same time etc.
Usually BASCs opens at 7am but Pro Teach has been flexible enough to let dd enters around 6.50am because hubby and I need to drop her off before rushing to work.
So you have to determine if the picking and dropping off times are ok with your family.

[RRMummy]

Starlight, So far, I have only been to Pro-teach personally. The supervisor there was very friendly and nice.


Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the other considerations. I know that there is also one near the Community Center. I like these 2 which you mentioned for their proximity.

I will go down to the one at blk 514 to have a first hand feel of the environment as well as their program.

It is a relief to hear from you that at least one has been tested... I know have something to fall back on.. THANKS!!

You living in CCK? It is quite far from Rulang. I live in Bukit Batok and fyi, the school bus fare is already $110.
BTW, my dd does not take the school bus.
