Desert Wind,
When I said \"academically avereage\", I meant that if your child i really v smart, he/she is sure to get very bored at MMK. But hey, what the heck, I agree with you. Kindy is the time to let them be children!
True, many kids going to Ai Tong, SNG etc find no problems but I suspect that it could be because of the enrichment class.
Even if you don't get am session and really wantit, no problems. Check with Lillian, who runs the school office. If you \"arr\" with her, I am sure you can fin a place. If not the following year. MMK gives existing pm session kids 1st opportunity to switch session.
BTW, my sister will be sending her 2d one there next year.Also for pm session. Also one of last few to enroll. Two of you aren't related are you??
Another thing I like is the school bus. All run by the same company. This made it easy when I wanted the bus to send kids home (Yishun) on 2 days and to Grandma's place (Sin Min) for the other days. No problems. Unlike now at SNG when I cant make this arrangement (Grrrrr).
Hey.MMK gets top marks from me. Kids have made good friends and so have we!

I am actually a bit scared of the admin. lady leh...ke..ke...ke :lol:
Ya, when I called to register, there were 3 vacancies, just over 1 afternoon went back to take documents, came back became last vacancy! Perhaps your sister was the one I \"rubbed shoulder\" with at the admin. office during that same day?
Wah, same church for 37 years! No joke!

I would love a Gecko avatar.

Hi Gecko,
Just checking did you put your kids into MMK from K1 or earlier from Nursery?
I have enrolled for next year Nursery (4yo) but now am really tempted to defer it for another year and go for the morning session instead of afternoon. Reason being DH and myself really wanted to send him to school before we go to work. Also we think 4 yo he will benefit more from a smaller class size.
As for next year 4 yo, still got time to be more flexible to DIY enrichments like go for Berries for 2 days, Julia Gabriel or other enrichments for other days....
Any comments appreciated.

My eldest one, 1DD, started at Nursery. She was at a day care for 2.5 days a week for about 2 years prior. She is now at SNG, pri 1
My middle one, DS, started at pre-Nursery. Now K1
My youngest, 2DD... well.... she is 2 months old.
Classes smaller at pre-Nursery.They get bigger at Nursery.
As for enrichment classes, being working parents, they are all squeezed int the weekends.
Berry's on Sat morning for both (since they were 3)
Lorna Whiston on Sun afternoon (since they were 3)
What we have during the weekdays (piano for 1DD) taken care of by grandparents
The kindy does have enricment classes but as they are after the later session, we don't send our kids there.
Hope that helped.
