[Hougang/Punggol/Sengkang] Preschools

[simplyjo]

My girls are in Nativity Church Kindergarten, opposite the Punggol Park. I really like the teachers and their curriculum. My girls love going to school cos they feel there are so much fun there.


They will assemble at the music hall everyday where they will sing and greet all teachers before they move to their classrooms. The children being used to see so many schoolmates every day, will find it easier to blend in primary school, where there are much more pple in school then!

But be prepared as I find their Spelling & 听写in K2 are very chim, they really prepare the kids for P1. My eldest girl is learning words like Deepavali, festivals, decorations, A box of chocolates, 农历新年，紧长，担心 etc…

Hmm, the school is closed on weekends, so there is nothing much you can see too. Yes, they have school bus services. You can call them at 64876757 between 8.30am - 2.30pm on school days to check. They have 2 sessions, 8.30am - 11.30am and 11.30am - 2.30pm.

Hi All,

I'm planning to put my younger son in a childcare next year.

I just visited Cambridge @ Hougang (Poh Huat). The teacher told me the ratio is 1:11 which I think a little too crowded. I wonder how these 11 child managed to squeez their mattress into that small room with tables/chairs/bookshelfs around :roll:

My elder used to be in Joyous which ratio for N1 & N1 is about 1:8. which I find is rather good. I still think at the age of 4, personal touch is very much needed.

Sad to say, the centre closed in 2006 due to the increased in overhead cost.

Well, would appreciate if some of you could share your view on the cc that your child is in now around hougang/serangoon area.
