Hi, I am looking for cc for my k1 boy next year. I have shortlisted the following:


1) Red schoolbus
2) pat’s schoolhouse @ buckley (wic at the moment is full and he has to be on waitlist)

Does anyone have experience with these? Which other would u recommend ?

I have an older girl who benefitted tremendously from her pre-school which emphasizes daily diary writing since k1. Is there any cc that does that these days?

Many thks for your advice.

My wife and I finally found a preschool we like for our only son at Cherie Hearts Nurtureloft at the new Midview City. My DS is 2y 8m. Do you all send your kids to school based on their age or calendar year (to tie in with MOE calendars)?


We were originally planning to enrol DS come Jan 2012. But the school has an early bird promo of 20% discount for 12 months! Confused….

if you send your child to Child care centre (ccc), ccc are regulated by MCYS, so go by calendar MONTH.


if you send your child to kindergarten regulated by MOE, they go by calendar YEAR - the year the child born in, don't care the month.

Many thanks for the advice! We are registering DS as my wife likes the spacious and very clean environment. The school had in a huge indoor playground and activity area where my son had a whale of a time during the open house. Hopefully he will begin to learn more things in his playgroup.

happy to hear that your son has settled down at the child care centre ! :rahrah:
