[Bukit Merah] BASC

[shizta]

Hi

Anyone knows of any good BASC in Bt Merah area ? What are the charges & timings like ?

Also, if there’s any student care in the primary school in the area ? If so, do they only cater for the students in their own premises or do they allow students from other primary school ?

[samlee82004]

Gan Eng Seng primary school has a Before / After school Care by YMCA


Zhangde Primary School also has a Before / After school Care by Merah Saga 10

If Radin Mas or CHIJ (Kellock), there is a Before / After school Care nearby CHERIE HEARTS MERRYLAND PTE. LTD. 113, BUKIT PURMEI ROAD, #01 - 226, SINGAPORE 090113

or CHERIE HEARTS SAF CDC @DEPOT PTE. LTD. 5, DEPOT ROAD, DEFENCE TECHNOLOGY BUILDING, SINGAPORE 109681

I did this research last year before my girl get into Pri. 1. Hope this will help.

Thanks for the info.


This means that if kid is at RM or CHIJ, they can’t go to GESS or ZhangDe student care rite ?

What about school bus to send them to/from the BASC ?

So which school & student care is your girl in ? Do you have a hard time choosing the school last yr ? Registration must be quite tough…

[samlee82004]

Yes. You are right. Before / After school care within school are meant for student studing in that school only.


For CHIJ and RM, I saw during my search last year, quite a number of student from these school are in
CHERIE HEARTS MERRYLAND PTE. LTD. 113, BUKIT PURMEI ROAD, #01 - 226, SINGAPORE 090113 and

CHERIE HEARTS SAF CDC @DEPOT PTE. LTD. 5, DEPOT ROAD, DEFENCE TECHNOLOGY BUILDING, SINGAPORE 109681

and there is another one at Blk 123 Kim tian (Can’t remember the same) . Of course, bus need to arrange for fetching the student to school.

Hi titank :
I live v near to Sasco CC and previously \"scrutinized\" the facility
They charge $270 for before-care and there is suppose to be 1 tamil teacher specifically incharge of the P1/P2 groups in the morning.

Pros :
- classrooms are clean and neat
- toilets are without unpleasant odour
- lunch menu simple - standard (12pm for before school care)
- pte tutors are allowed to be engaged by the parents after centre approval
- few P1/P2 headcount at the moment (last was told 5-6kids)
- teacher personally SEND & FETCH RMPS students to the school
(*save on bus fees)
- nice, neat playground nearby for occassional outdoor activity

Cons :
- children \"check-in\" at the Kindergarten side 7-10am, cz the teacher incharge comess in fr abt 10am, afterwhich they will follow her to the student-care side.
- teacher incharge hardly seen with the students
(during all the times that i spent \"observing\" the centre, 3-4 kids were left on their own running around the classroom or playing ball in the aircon room unsupervised)
- 1 aunty and/or 1 other adult are ALWAYS seen busying themselves in the kitchen, wonder why...
(went there at 9am, 10am, 11am, 11.30am, same scenario)
- 1 toilet bowl : not in cubicle, just curtains for the kid to pull around it when doing big or small business :!:
- bathrooms are also \"open\" concept, at the side
- children expected to bath on their own (even the P1s)

I am not aware of the situations in the afternoon.

Again, the above are purely personal observations as I am v cautious abt childcare standards. :oops:
Hope other parents could provide a different perspective.
Sorry so long winded...

Hi Bakugan,


Thanks for your valuable information. Tamil Teacher in charge of P1/P2?
Seem like no supervision in managing the childcare centre? I can understand that at P1 the child need to bathe on thier own as in order to be more independent.

Anyway still in evaluation stage to see whether to put DS in BASC.
Would consider to checkout more on Cherie Hearts.
Understand that PCF Telok Blangah also have but have to pay extra school bus to reach Radin Mas Primary. :x
