[Bedok/Katong/Marine Parade/Siglap] Preschools

[xuan28]

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:

Hi Yippie131,

Shaws charges $800 for half-day and $1100 for full day. Both rates are before subsidies. The rate applies to childcare for 18mth till K2.

They have school bus but I am not sure about the charges.

hi happyavon,

my child is now in the PN class, and i hope to let her continue all the way till K2. i'm very happy with shaws, and you're right, all the weekly updates, photos and excursions ensure that we parents don't miss out on the child's life while we're at work.

hi yippie131,
i think the school bus fees might vary depending on your location. i enquired previously, and it's $150 per child (i stay near kembangan).
the school bus has seat belts for each child, and there is even a school bus auntie to jaga over the children. not to mention they have a tv screen in the bus playing fave children shows. i think as far as school buses go, the school bus service at shaws is very good.
