I find it troublesome to bring them to cc just for a few hours and then fetch them home. But when the 3 of them play at home, aiyo, so chaotic and noisy. Weekends...i can hardly rest or have some quiet time unless all of them nap. :snooze:

I drop them at 8am and fetch at 1.30pm :oops:

wow, that's early! My kids usually wake up at that time. So by the time they reach cc, almost 9am. On sat, their cc dun have many kids so I dun think they will want to go there. They rather stay home to watch TV. :lol:

so meaning we will need to create this acct when they enter P1 :?
again so meaning the teachers will ask us to fill in forms & such to open this acct :?

wa liao, so many accts....

even my DD's acct for her CDC also empty :oops: the one that the gahment will match $$ for $$ for 2nd birth onwards...

now mil ask me to open saving accts for both of them... :faint:
so that can bank in all their yearly ang bao $$ & daily \"earnings\" cos when DS enters P1 next yr, whatever fees will be deducted thru GIRO & this means, i have to hv a acct & apply GIRO...

is this the so call edu save acct? no right? its 2 separate accts rite? :imdrowning: :imdrowning: :?: :?: :?:

My 2 DD wakes at 7.15 - 7.30am... used to be 7am before (before I screamed) :nosebleed:

and they don't mind going to CC coz they can play at the playground / be as noisy while at home, they have to follow ground rules

CDA account is different from Edusave. CDA is meant for usage till your child is 6 years. Edusave is meant from 7 years (calendar) onwards . My mum didn't have to do anything, the Edusave was kind of automatically done by MOE. Used to use it for my ECA (CCA).

1.How can my child make use of the money in his Edusave account?

Your child can make withdrawals from his Edusave account to pay for:

■enrichment programmes organised by his school
■2nd-tier miscellaneous fees in government or government-aided schools.
■independent school fees in excess of school and standard miscellaneous fees in government schools;
■SPED school fees in excess of the school and standard miscellaneous fees in government primary schools
■additional miscellaneous fees for autonomous schools and integrated programme schools;
■approved fees in junior colleges, centralised institute and pre-university courses;
