[ymkan]

Hi, anyone has any experience or review on Dardis Child Development Centre at Bukit Merah?

Do you think Dawson the preschool there is good?

My feedback was:
Children often fall sick due to enclosed area.
No or rarely any outdoor activities.
Teacher turn over rate high. currently teacher not communicative to parents. Not active too… old not lively
Once outbreak of chicken pox lasted for two months
HFMD, over 10 cases in two weeks
Principle seduced neighbours husband and not sure what problem involved police to went up school two years ago
Everything needs to pay double or triple the price as compare to other school. nothing cheap.
Positive feedback was only the partime teacher for upper level is good.

What is the name of the preschool in Dawson?

[patlee1990]

Is inside the dawson shopping centre. I have asked around and feedback was there are two family in my block sent kid to this school have eventually withdrawed and send their kid to Kindergarden nearby. Main reason is hardly any outdoor that the kid keep falling sick after 2.5yrs of attending this school.

It seem that only this Childcare is available around in Alexandra area.Honey and milk closed.

only register childcare with MCYS can give grant to parents.

Since it is not under the MCYS umbrella, the parents has no one to complain to? No quality check? outbreak not force to shut down?

Hi parents,


I’m letting go a brand new Nurturestars uniform size XS for $20. Bought from the school at $30 last month.

My son was supposed to commence childcare at the Safra Mount Faber branch but I’ve decided to switch him to another childcare after paying deposit and buying a uniform. Hence, the uniform is still brand new.

Do pm me if you’re interested. Thanks!

My 2 kids are with CherieHearts bukit purmei near Radin mas primary. Currently there is 7% discount for enrollment, school fee is relatively lower

HOnestly, I learned the lessons hard here.
HFMD case, most of the time coming from parents who insisted to put kids in the childcare even there is little symptom surface. Once the victim is in, then the spread goes fast. Bottomline, as we are parents, we need to be extra careful monitoring our children.

but I do agree wt you that, centre with very enclosed are/space wt aircond, are not my preference.
