[Bukit Panjang/Bukit Timah/Hillview] Preschools

[pupilview]

Hi Happyfeet,

I also registered my kid at St Josephs kindergarten.Pity that my second girl cannot continue at Gracefields.I wish they could have informed parents earlier about the lease expiring.My elder one was lucky and she had a smooth transition from kindergarten to Primary.Hopefully St. Josephs can fill in the gap -only thing to note is more students in the class.

Hi Joeyz18
My girl will go from next year to N2(3 and 1/2 hr ). Not sure about childcare . You check with them

Joeyz18,


Yes, St Joseph’s also runs childcare centre. It’s $800 (before subsidy).
You can get the fees info from the mcys childcare link.

Hi.

Am also considering St Joseph but I'm a bit concerned over the big class size :idea: :?:

Feedback that this childcare is good, worth considering. Fee a bit high…


Have to queue early. 1.5yr to 2yrs in advance!

[quote=\"pupilview\"]Try Gracefields Kindergarten near the Bukit Panjang Post Office(Phoenix LRT).It has got a nice green patch of land and is not conducted in a mall environment.It has got 3 hr sessions one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.Teachers are also quite good and dedicated.

I registered my gal at Gracefields Teck Whye and just received a letter that the school will no longer be there as their lease cannot be renewed.

Now I am trying to find a school for my gal. I was looking forward to my gal studying that cos my nephew attends the one at Gilstead and my sister is very impressed with the school.

And after some research, no preschool in the area fits what I want. The last thing I want my gal to remember of her preschool is worksheets, spellings, tests which she will be getting tons in primary school.

Hi M3,

I'm sharing the same dilemma as you...

i just registered my boy in N2 in term 4 after pulling him out from PCF due to some traumatic experience which i shall not mention here & am very upset to receive news that their lease is not renewed.Now i have headache deciding which school to send him to.

They suggested sending him to either their other branches which i find too far or Methodist Church of the Incarnation. Anyone knows any reviews about this school or know of any Catholic preschool in this area?

Pls do share if you know of any other good preschool to go to.

Thank you! :)[/quote]Hi M3 and happyfeet11

I went to visit Gracefield in July 2010 and was impressed with their teachers as well as how the lessons were conducted. When I read in the papers that their lease was due and they are not renewing, I was so sad as we wanted to register DD for their 2011 classes.

Any idea if Gracefield are looking for a new premise as it's really a waste for Gracefield to end just like that...
