Hi ppnqq

If you are looking for full day ccc, I am not able to share much because my DS2 is in kindy (3.5 hr type).

My friend has placed her child in YWCA ccc at Blk 75x yishun (can't remember the exact block). Only heard from her that there are a lot of writing for her K1 child.

Heard from neighbours that My Little Campus at Blk 844 (near Khatib MRT) not bad, but there is waiting list. You may want to drop by and visit the centre if this is not too far for you.

Hope you will find a suitable ccc for your child soon.

Thanks Hifive, we have been searching for quite some time. Those better or good ones usually have a long waiting list. Sigh.


Still waiting for feedback for Yishun Eager Beaver. Worth sending the kids there? Need to know if the teachers and curriculum are good. Although we’ve been to the place but we will not know if they are really good only after some time there so need feedback from those who have kids there. Anyone pls? TIA.

I've decided to put my my toddler to My Little campus. They have 4 to 5 outlets in Sembawang and Yishun area but I've decided on Sembawang Mart. Went to look at the place (Blk 511) seems pretty okay and clean. Curriculum wise, quite standard but with montessori (once a week) and some optional enrichment classes like MPM Maths and Abascus. Anyways, already paid deposit and reg fees for year 2013! Yeah...no place even for year 2012....so have to book for 2013 and already places are filling up....wow! what's going on these days! fees are SGD730 before subsidy. Went up $50 from last year....was told they revise their fees every 2 to 3 years....yikes! Already so expensive...how much higher are they going to go!!! The gov gotta do something...if not, the subsidies ain't going to help much anymore.....

Hi ppnqq,

For Averbel i personally don like the learning process due it very slow, the teachers is also keep changing and as i know there is more part time teachers to full time teachers more over they are china teachers only 1 indian and 1 singaporean teach english. My Ds attend 1and half years since N2, last year he (K1) only had 1 outing and 1 learning jounery.
The fees just increase from 610 to 700 before subsidy i don mind paying more if the cc is good.

If u r staying near by there is also one pcf cc at blk 781 last july just open enviroment is totally clean but for the learning processing i not sure.

Or u wan to find better wan(not compare to those branded cc) ANGLE CARE CENTRE @626 my friends kids attending over there i felt that is quite good. Feel free u can go over they display the students artworks all over the centre window to let parents see. And some Notice to let the parents know when does the centre bring them out to library etc... If i not wrong there is also learning journey per term not included the library trip.
I personally like the centre to have this kind of outing and learning journey cause the kids are long term attending the cc so i felt if there no outing or learning journey there will be bored through out the kindergarden days.

Wow, that sounds great!

:shock: So exaggerating?!

Thanks Zoan, will check it out.

Really difficult to find a good ccc, they are either on long waiting list (no more vacancy) or that they are far. Then as for some which still has vacancies and transport provided, the timing is too early! It's only suitable for those who have maids or other family members at home (so that they can fetch the kids from the bus, most of them are as early as 4pm+ to 5pm!) :stupid:

Hi qq_guy


My gal is currently at the Averbel and she is there for 2 months. So far, I dun find her learn much in this CC and that’s why we have decided to switch her to Eager Beaver @ Yishun Central.

We intended to put her half day at Averbel intitally but I was told by the Principle that they only have full day childcare when she called to inform me there is a place for my gal. I am paying the full day rate even though my gal just attended half day lesson with them. Recently, my MIL found out from other parents that the CC are charging them half day rate which I found I was being "cheated".
We also noticed that the CC served maggi mee for lunch which we dun feel comfortable for her to eat maggi mee at such young age. That’s why we decided to withdraw from this CC.

Maybe you can consider The Little Skool House International that located in the Hospital permises or Nauture Star @ SAFAR country club if distance is not an issue to you. We have visited The Little Skool House International today and we are impressed with the school facilities and the teachers as well as their Curriculum but because of the distance issue, we have dropped our idea and enroll my gal at Eager Beaver instead.
