Wow, Okea... $120 is reali expensive! :siao:

A bus fare in exchange for a 10min walk to my ds2's school also need around $95/mth. i may however still need to engage their services if i intend to return to work next year.

Hi shizuka_gal & Okea,


IC, mmm the transportation is so exp. But if is convenience, I dont mind to pay Exp.. so not afford to have 2nd bb

Guess my fee will be:380 + transportation.

I still prefer this CCC cos of the environment...

Hi mummies,


I visited Gentle Love CC. If parents looking for affordable price, can consider this. A grade for neighbourhood standard CCC :love:

Pls see my personal comment:
Space & facility: Open concept except PG in the room. Split by cabinet only
HDB environment, like C2 ward.

Good pt:
1) Health & happy atmosphere
2) Teacher & supervisor - lving, dedicated & responsible
3) Program: overall coverage
4) Food: variety & get reward before
5) Believe: open concept & let kid develop freely
6) Program: systematic, creative & fun
7) Value for money
Good communication better parents & CCC

Week pt:
1) Facility: soso, HDB feeling
2) Space: cramp
3) Academic not so advance
4) TV at 5.30-6.30 even though is only the educational program
5) Distance - far - @ Bt Batok

Hi Ksaac,

How old is your todler (boy or girl)? If you confirm taking Cherie Hearts then maybe my girl will take the same bus as your kid. Where do you stay in Bt. Panjang? I am putting her to CC in Nov 09. Currently, she is attending Talent Plus PG at Blk 607.

hi mummies,


even though the principal help me in negotiating with the bus tpt in reducing the price to $105 per kid. i still think its abit ex for me in terms of monthly payment.we are not in SAF so not entitle to any subsidy except for the govt. subsidy.
if we own a car, i will definitely place them in cherie hearts.

oh i went new life church @ greenridge as well. environment is clean n spacious too.but too bad, no vacancies for my boys.heard they had increase the fees alot.

Hi Okea,


Because of the long waiting list at new life church @ greenridge. I have decided to put my girl in Cherie Hearts. At least I have secured a space for her. After govt. sub is $375; if i am not wrong.

Hi Jobina,


Where do you stay in Bt. Panjang?
Talent Plus PG @ Blk 607 accepts todler from 18mths old onwards.
Return Bus transport fee is $110 to from my blk 53x to cherie Hearts.

We like Cherie Hearts environments etc. But hubby & I have 2nd thought of sending my girl to Cherie Hearts CC cos both of us think the hrs are too long.
Tomorrow we are going to visit Arise Kindergarten for their environment for Pre-N (weekdays-2.5hrs). If we like Arise, we will put her in Arise than Cherie Hearts.

Hi shizuka_gal,


Thanks so much for your information, I am staying near bukit panjang plaza. Actually me too thought sending to cherie heart the full day so long for young baby. So I am also looking for 2-3 hours playgroup.

If you find any good playgroup, please let me know. Thanks.
