[quote]Hi,


Check out \"My Little Campus\" the Yishun branch on below address.

This is quite a reputable child-care centre and very popular one in Sembawang, Canberra, Admiralty. The Bishan branch already has a very long queue and hard to get in. Check out the Yishun one which should be nearest to you:

Yishun
Blk 849 Yishun Ring Road
#02-3701
Singapore 760849

Tel: 6756 1669 [/quote]I enrolled my DD to My Little Campus Sembawang branch for year 2013 cos I wanted her to attend CC. They did not have vacancy for 2012 and I have to pay a full month deposit to secure a place. Yup...they are that popular!

Hi all,


I am staying at sembawang. Seriously for me to search for an infant care (IFC) centre to childcare centre is a nightmare. I had put my son in the waiting list for the nearest available CC (who have infant care svs) before he was born. Up till now when he is 21 mth the CC still had no place for me!!! The centre even suggest me to look for other CC. I called up MCYS and highlight the shortage of CC around my area. They replied by saying yes there is a shortage of CC in the cluster where i lived but there is alot more option at other part of sembawang!!! Haizzzzz So to me is like do i need to shift house becos of CC??? Weird right!!! I heard ppl shift house when they want to enrol their kid to the prefer primary school but not for CC right??? In the end i had to look for CC at Yishun. Anyone share the same situation with me??? It makes me wonder when it come to Primary school registeration the nearest available canberra primary school (5min walking distance from my house) will i get a place for my son?? Haizzzz

Hello North Mummy

i stay in sembawang too, and i totally agree with you!
it's so difficult to find a good preschool! those more popular ones are always on waiting list..
my girl has been attending a presch at Civic center. sch is v good but now have to look for another kindergarten for next year at sembawang to make things easier for my parents.. sigh.. no hope yet...

If you really want your child to attend canberra pri, then you need to consider doing parent's volunteer, so that you can get another chance in balloting under 2B. if unlucky in 2B, you can still try for 2C..
without PV, your child will be under 2C (meaning you only got 1 chance in balloting)...

Hi, can any parents share with me how’s Edelweiss Kindergarten?


they have e-learning session, once a week, 45mins per session. I am quite concern about this as I think it’s too young to expose them to computer at this young age(3yo-from nursery onwards), it may affect their eye-sight.

I saw the teachers (or teacher assistants?) were not very friendly towards the children during their meal time when I visited the kindy for the registration and am now hesitate if I should put my son there next year.

Any feedback and comments about Edelweiss is very much appreciated. thanks.

Hi Kipper

I went to edelweiss n really like the classroom environment.
Didn't think that e-learning is necessary too..
Am still on waiting list for K1 next yr

It's difficult to find a good kindergarten in sembawang..
Any parents can recommend?

Thanks!

Hi Whimpykid,

Thanks. where is your kid currently studying? yes, it’s very difficult to find a good kindergarten in Sembawang area except childcare (My little campus).

I think Edelweiss has a very long waiting list too, that’s why I’m not sure if I should put my son into nursery next year(their am session has very long waiting list too, my son’s is pm session which i do not really like it) so to secure K1 and K2 in the future:) but the e-learning session put me off:)
