It's my wife who's doing the initiation :), not me. I think my girl needs to get back into the rythm of playing in a group again - she's been out for almost a month. She says she had fun.

BTW... there's no nursery classes in Schoolhouse. So I guess your daughter and mine are indeed in the same toddler class. That almost makes us family

good to know

mine came back home.......super worn out.

My daughter loves the school. She has a lot of fun there too. The gym exercises are really good at making her bounce around. She can even do head rolls by herself now... a feat that she refused to do during her earlier Saturday ABGS gym lessons.

And yes, have to adjust her to sleep later in the morning to stay awake in the afternoon!

Guess we will be staying there for a while - so it's time to buy the uniform :).

mmy88,

which kinderland branch are u talking about here? is it the one at Marine Parade? I just called them and they said got 30% discount if i sign up this month, and they provide bus service to my place in Tampines. I’m so tempted to enrol my kid there already, pls share more experience with me…

[mmy88]

hi yippie131,i am referring to the one of their franchise childcare centers. Kinderland academy at cresent road. It is a childcare. Not sure if this is the one you are referring to as i know their is another kinderland at near parkway parade.


The one at cresent is called kinderland academy. The principal is called Khairun. Is that the one you called up?

Hi Parents,

Just wanna share my own experience of looking for a childcare in the East.
I visited the following school grounds, looked at the environment and talked to the people there.
1. Kinderland Academy (Crescent Road)
2. Julia Gabriel (Crescent Road)
3. Global Kids (further down the road from the above 2)
4. Shaws (Mountbatten Road)

I picked Shaws as the teachers there were very friendly and the curriculum was not very ‘academic’. It seems like the children there were very happy and they were learning through play.
My children have been there for half a year already, and I’m very glad I picked that school. They look forward going to school everyday and there are school activities that get parents involved as well.
I’m all praise for Shaws.

Hi Xuan28

My daughter has been with Shaws PN since she was about 2. Now she is in their N1 class. You're right that they learn through play and the children enjoys them very much. She has been happy and always talk about her teachers and friends at home.. one thing good is that parents received weekly emails update on what the children are taught for the week and even classroom/outdoors pictures taken. And not to forget abt their monthly excursion, performance for special day (fathers day, mothers day, grandparents day etc).... We have made the right choice huh? :lol:
