Hi Chix Chix,


Don’t despair, most likely they would have vacancies as family may shift or change their mind. I recently went to a church kindergarten and the principal tld me definitely will have vacancy comes their orientation. So maybe the same applies to childcare ctrs too?

dunno leh but lal that i spoke to mention that they have a waiting list till abt 1.5 yrs…

so far, i have not heard about the turnover, but personally i think all school is the same, it depends on individual if you want you can go st francis, zoo phonis go for enrichment

you can be on waiting list or you can choose the school beside mmi also not bad.

reason being there is students bound to quit during the first few months

I observed the class @ SFA this afternoon. The students actually study for 2 hrs only and the last hr is for snack and getting ready to go home. I felt that their chinese lesson seems kind of bored
