Not any that I know off either…

The nearest is Little Wings @ Blk 32 Holland Close. Not sure about the reviews.
I saw their syllabus. I didn’t like it. So I am choosing My First Skool @ Blk 18A Holland Drive instead.

Though it’s a childcare, I think I will pay full day and send him in only for lessons. Lunch and nap at home.

Can share why you prefer My First Skool? What you don't like about Little Wings?

Anyway my son is born in Dec 09, think can only enrol in LW when he's 30mths old.

Initally I wanted PAP. But I realised that they have no standard programme. Little Wings though also under PAP jurisdiction, have very different program from PAP. for the playgroup portion, it's 2hours.
45mins outdoor play and 45mins singing or self-play.
15mins toilet break and 15mins check temp.

I do not find it productive at all. My son is in BEK now. It is a 1yr program only. So next yr I have to find another pre-school that will see him through till k2.

I love BEK cause my son always have something new to teach me. He has handicraft from school. There isn't self-play as the teacher always maximises the time to let the kids learn something new.

For My First Skool, I think standard wise, it's probably better as it's a new school and there is a guideline for all branches to follow. At least I know my kid is more or less learning the same thing as other kids in the many branches of MFS in SG.
