When my DH not at home, sometimes my kids do not have TV time. But when DH is at home, they will have TV time. TV induce beta brainwaves. When I reduced the TV time over time I find that my DS and DD focus are better. Just sharing.

yah, too much of anything is no good. i'm couch potato, so find it very cruel to stop my DS from watching.

lol i cancelled mine...when i shifted place


DDs were glued to disney channel. able to recite every programme.. faintz.. so no cartoon channels at home. at most okto

weekends, they get their tv fix from great granny cartoon channels..

i'm guilty of letting DS watch too much tv pgm. but that's the only way i can get some 'me' time. :sad:

@NH any teachers / tutors for homework and revision? What's the menu like?


For CC, when the child is in P2, P3,....will the time for homework increase? Or during SA, CA period, will they increase hw / revision time? Since it's CC any tutors to help with hw/revision?

in NH, i think ard 30 kids per class. there will be teacher with them. no additional hmwork from the student care. menu include nasi lemak, fried rice, fried noodles etc.

in CC, i think they will offer tuition lesson. so it's up to you to sign up. Not sure if hmwork time will increase or not. the one i checked, in P5/P6, parents can opt to send the kids 2 days per wk or 3 days per wk, due to CCA commitment. fee will be reduced then.

@NH, not bad with teacher, as long as help with school hw / revision, think good enough. But so much fried stuff on the menu, Is 30 students a standard size outside too? sorry I so picky.

@CC, in P1 1 hr for hw, think ok lah but should increase during CA, SA period and as go higher level should increase too. The water play part, I'm just concern about HFMD.

If I stop DS1, I have to stop DD and DS2 too. The younger ones sure protest and whine...Guess tough to stop totally but since the younger ones are going to cc full day by next year, I guess controlling DS1's TV time during day time might be ok.

Student Care in NH @ $240 per mth:

1) Not allowed to shower after class
2) Lunch and Snacks catered from Canteen Operators
3) In classroom most of the time, so must wear socks & shoe
4) Playtime is only after 5pm

Student Care in DS's CC @ $350 per mth:
1) Can shower
2) Fully aircon
3) Homecooked meal
4) 1 hr to do homework (only)
5) Playtime starts from 4pm (outdoor play, water play etc)

Both also got pros & cons. Which one would you recommend?

Dont know about ur school canteen but the food in RMP is not very healthy as they use processed food. I am very against processed food.

hehe.. SV won't go into single session so soon le.. from the way others comment..

If we only send him during school holidays, I will find it quite disruptive for him to adapt to new environment... new friends... new Teachers... :slapshead:

oh... been sending DDs to such things .. so far they seem ok. first 15 mins shy, then the ice is broken :rotflmao:

Oh.. my boy is not shy.. I am the more shy kind.. :rotflmao:

Guess for me.. I would prefer for him to stick to one thing... if it is not suitable.. then we shall decide..

Am just concern about the cramp space for both centre.

Also you able to judge the standard of tuition in centre 1?

standard in centre 1 seems much better but security wise. it is just unlocked.. I went in unannounced...
which is another worry point for me. CC always lock their main door.

it could be me who is bothered with little things and comparing it with CC...

Security is important for me. What if the child goes out or some strangers go in.

Student Care 1

- shower within premise
- No Naptime
- has tuition
- If need Student care to fetch DD, need additional money.
- School Holidays - it will be additional $5 per day + materials cost
- classroom quite cramp
- I went and noticed the teacher just sits at a side and tells the kids to do their homework
- the sch was walking distance to the primary which I came from so dont need bus arrangement

Student Care 2
- No shower within premise i think
- very cramp 1 common area for all primary to mingle with.
- changing area is within the community centre
- No nap
- have to arrange for bus transport , if DD has CCA. monthly stays the same but will need to arrange bus transport for DD for her CCA. additional $$$
- Tuition included. There will be homework from student care as well

Really need to assess the so claimed tuition first.

Just clarify…


When mention CC. means childcare right…

So the intend is either CC or student care… both should be half day ya…

Normal days, they will have 1 hr of TV time. 30 mins for DD1 and 30 mins for DS. But when DH is home, they will have more, so next day when DH not at home, there's no TV time :evil:
