Hi jellybnzw:

Many many thanks for the feedback! Actually we shared the same thoughts on superland. The younger toddlers dun get a chance to go outdoor playarea often, maybe one or twice a week. Reason provided - scared they hurt themselves. *scratch head* I dun really agree with this idea. I tot the teachers are supposed to watch the kids if they scare they will fall down.

I dun really like the idea of forking out extra for additional activities at Little Skool Hse either, although I like the environment there. but walking distance to/from mrt is also a consideration as it is abt a 10min walk away.

Am looking at Cambridge Dev Centre @ Tanglin currently. If worst case no good CC in the area, I'll just put her to bright kids @ leng kee cc juz for convenience. haiz. tough tough choices.

I heard that there is one at Queenstown the PCF is not too bad as well as Dawson seedlings. Cos I heard the Cambridge Dev Centre is quite ex.

All the best!

Many many thanks jellybnzw! Will take a look at the centres that you'd mentioned! School fees for Cambridge is currently at $1.1k before subsidy for full day cc, so end up should be around $800, but is still a good $300 more than Bright Kids. haiz.

Hi there,

I read all the posting about Arts Kidz and I found another one close to Arts Kidz. Its called [Moderator's note: Entry removed on request of service provider] and they utilise the Montessori method. And they teach violin and the students do not need to purchase a violin at all.

Well personally for me its only a 10min walk away from my gran's house and the location is convenient. Its located in Radin Mas CC and its on the second floor.

The class rooms are big and spacious with study desks and cubbies. They are also using the CCs music room and there is quite a large outdoor play area.

They advocate teaching children to be independent and be able to do things themselves.

Their sports for the older kids include Aikido. How cool is that.

I personally like the school as the Administrator was quite honest to tell me that her son is in the same school and in the 18 - 2yrs class.

Food wise, they are a organic school, so they try to go organic as much as possible. Healthy way!

I mean give a look at it.

I will be enrolling my girl in this school end of the month to start next year!

hi jellybnzw,

sounds like a great school looking at the curriculum. do you mind sharing the fees per month for [Moderator's note: Entry removed on request of service provider]?

thanks!

Hi


Thanks a lot for sharing! I am interested in [Moderator's note: Entry removed on request of service provider] as well, but a little concerned that they aren't approved by MOE, nor under MCYS..there was very little discussion in the forum on it too. not sure whether they adhere to Montessori principles such as mixed-age grouping as well..

I've been to a few others too...but thanks, will take your advice and bring my son down to visit.

Just curious, which one did you end up with in the end?

[Moderator's note: Entry removed on request of service provider] is registered with PA. I called to MCYS to ask whether it will be fine to register my child under school without approval from MOE and MCYS. The officer told that PA is actually associated with MCYS. So if the school has registered with PA, it should be fine.

thanks![/quote]I went and checked out the school fees.Total per month is $680. Per month is $650 and there is a meal allowance (90% organic supply) $30. the registration is $380 but if you are a passion card holder $200 off(limited time offer).

I saved on transport as my girl is at my gran's place which is 10mins walking distance. So this sort of sealed the deal.
Hope this helps!

Cheers!
