We are moving to the vicinity hopefully by the end of this year, right opposite of the centre. Perhaps I would go back again for enrichment courses.

Notes: They don't have school bus service. Next month, they are raising the fees $10 from $230 to $240, which I feel is reasonable and not expensive.

Are you looking for childcare or those 3-hour montessori workgroups? My ds3 goes to one near the supermarket. Chinese is outside of the standard 3-hr montessori group though. The principal/teacher is very competent in managing the 10+ group of mixed-age children in the workgroup. Let me know if you are interested and PM me.

The little campus has a very long waiting list even though they just started a new pre N class. I'm not sure if it's good though.

Totsville's Serene is a very nice teacher, she has many years of Montessori experience at another popular Montessori school before venturing out on her own. She is very patient and caring towards the kids, and Greenbean is right that her priority is the kids, not $. The workgroup in her sch is taught by her and another Montessori trained teacher. The younger playgroup is been taught by younger teachers who are Montessori trained also. But they do not have as much experience as Serene. Serene will occasionally help out at the playgroup when there are new students joining the playgroup.

Hi DesertWind,


Thanks for your feedback.

I am looking for playgroup instead of CCC. Anyway, it seems most of the CCCs in this area are full and difficult to get in due to strong demand.

Aside to greenbean2011 and smurf,

Thanks for sharing your experience.
I would definitely consider going back to Totsville for enrichment courses.

a friend of mine also looking for good childcare centres around these few areas - Thomson, Sin Min, Bishan and Toa Payoh (but not AMK bec too far). His son is K1 now, so he’s looking for child care, not playgroup. Would appreciate recommendation ? Thank you very much !

Hi,


I am in a dilemma now, any parents can advise me pls? :?
TIA!

I have just registered my child to a 2hrs playgroup for the second term. She is happy in this playgroup. The day after I paid up, LSH called me to offer my child a place in the afternoon slot. Should I take it up together with the 2 hours playgroup? (They are both within the same floor at amk hub. Logistics wise also another headache.) Will it be too tiring for my child who's turning 3 this year? Or will only 2 hrs be enough?

any parents can advise pls? Thank you!
