[mummymummy123]

There’s a new Cherie Hearts @ Science Park I offering infant care…heard from my friend that it is pretty nice and offers a clean environment for infants to play and interact with the teachers and others

My child will be attending playgroup at Clementiwoods Kindy nex year.


Any other mummies sending their kids there as well?

TIA

Hi, I’m looking for Childcare around these areas too.


Any mummies have good recommendation for CCC with good curriculum and environment? I’ve checked out Agape Little Uni at One-North, I like the environment and curriculum very much but the fees are a bit on the high side. My budget it around $700-$800 after subsidy.

Thanks in advance!

Any comment on Pearlbank Kindergarten at Pasir Panjang?

Hi,


I am staying in Clementi area.

A note on Kidspace Pasir Panjang Childcare: It offers infant care service, my boy was there since 2 months old. But I was not happy with the principal due to some issues. In 2010, My First Skool opened 2 new branches in Clementi which offered infant care service and I switched my boy to MFS when he is 9 months old, no regrets as my boy was much happier in MFS and even put on weight!

He is with MFS for 1 and 1/2 years, now in the Toddler class. I am looking around for another CC because I feel that MFS curriculum is not up to my expectation. Although overall I am really happy with MFS but still think that I should switch him to another CC with better curriculum… (Sighzz)

Have shortlisted the below for viewing(still adding some in the process):
- LV at Fusionpolis (visited the school, overall impression was ok, still prefer to look around 1st)
- Creative O at Creative Technology
- Town for kids at West Coast
- Mindchamps at fusionpolis (Most probably will not sign up because the price is too steep but no harm visiting)

I would like to check is the traffic along Sunset way bad in the morning? I have not consider CC at Sunset Way due to the traffic and it is actually quite out of the way as we are staying in Clementi central.

Hi xhmummy,


How much was the fee at Agape Little Uni at One-North? I visited the centre when I was preggy. Now thinking of visit the centre again. IIRC, they have a swimming pool right?

Hi Pastries,


The fee at Agape little Uni @One-North is $1284 before subsidy. They have a swimming pool in the building which the children get water play once a week. This place is rather conducive but I find that their fee is steep :moneyflies: . On top of the fee mentioned above, you still need to top up $130+ for packet milk as they don't encourage N1 and above kids to be bottle fed and additional $60 (IIRC) for enrichment classes like Speech n Drama (English).

Due to budget constrain, I'm looking for cheaper alternative but don't wanna compromise too much on the curriculums as I want my son to be well prepared for P1.

Hope other mummies/daddies can help to give more advise. TIA! :grphug:

Hi xh mummy,


Need to top up $130+ for packet milk??? Why not serve the milk in cups instead if they do not encourage bottle feeding?? Hm… Well, the additional $60 for speech & drama is still reasonable. But then add both and the monthly fees together is around $1,174. It is quite on par with Mindchamps, Pat School & Lorna Whiston and other higher end preschools…

What other centres have you visited? Care to share? I am thinking of visiting Little Skool House at Buona Vista CC.

Hi Pastries,


I’ve checked out Safari House by Zoophonics at Dover too, my son currently is attending their enrichment class on Sunday. Their fee is $1100 before subsidy, 7am-5pm. For extension time to 7pm, you need to top up $100 more. The reason I didn’t choose them is because they don’t allow me to defer my son’s enrollment to next year (I got early bird rates and if I were to defer to next year then I’ve to pay the full rate).

To pay the full rate then I might as well send my son to Agape Little Uni @One North since they charge about the same rate but Agape is fully air-conditioned whereas Safari House is not, and my son is used to aircon environment.

Currently, I’m still looking around for other CCC. Let me know after you have viewed Little Skool House at Buona Vista CC k. TIV!
