I am staying in Jurong so my girl has been taking school bus since she was in pre-nursery level. The school bus driver uncle and the attendant auntie take care of the children very well so in fact my girl enjoy taking school bus very much. Currently we are paying $80.00 per month.

I am new here and happen to look at your forum.

My daughter is currently studying K2 in Galilee Kindergarten @ 202, Pandan Garden Road. She has been there since Pre-Nursery (3 years old) and I have seen her grown alot. The principal and teachers are all very caring and in term of academic wise - the teachers are all trained to prepare the children for Primary School.

You may wish to contact the school @ 6560 3514 to check with them.

Thanks for the info. So ur child is taking school bus too?[/quote]

hi strawberrymilk,


Thanks for the info. May i know why u choose this kindergarten? is it recommend by frens or nearby your child’s caretaker?

[Strawberry Milk]

My girl was taken care by baby-sitter and baby-sitter's son was from that school. So, that was the only church kindergarten we knew of back then. I know there are many other church kindergartens around Jurong area but we din do much survey then.....

I can't remember what are the Pre-Nursery curriculum; you may want to check with the school. But I can see that my girl grows and learns well in school - she really enjoys school and always grumble when comes school holidays that she can't go to school.

[/quote]so scary....ic so far did it affect e pre-nursery level? any closure?

[Strawberry Milk]

Hi Starz,

Once there is HFMD case reported in school, they will send out the letter notifying and alerting all parents. Only when it reaches a certain nos, I think MOE will tell the school to close and do all the cleaning up.

Not to be too worry as I know all schools are on high alert to HFMD.

Hi All,


My 2nd son will due for playgroup next year. He is taken care by my in-laws at Clementi.

Initially I have thought of registering him at Apple Tree but it's too far away from where my in-laws stay.

Do you know there is any playgroup program or preschool in Sunset Way?

Many thanks!

My daughters are also taken care by my in-law staying at Sunset Way. The elder one is attending Kinderland at Pandan Valley, need to take school bus. Pls let me know if you find a good one at Sunset way coz I havent decide whether to let my younger one go to the same school or not.

help! panic mum needs help. my son is 4 yr old and has not progressed too well in his existing kindergarten in terms of learning (believe the teacher student ratio is too high for his current pl), and recently, he is a target of a bully. So he has not been really happy. Previously, I thought putting him in a kindagarten would be good, for he gets some form of education, yet gets to spend most of his time at home, a place that he is familiar with. I am now worried that he is not learning sufficiently, and hence am thinking of putting him in a full time childcare, in preparation of primary school.

What are your comments? I am a full time working mum. To run my household, I engage two maids, to manage my 3 kids, a 9, 4 and 1.5.

I would appreciate very much to receive recommendations of good and reliable childcare centres/ kindergartens around bt timah/ clementi for little boys. 1 for immediate placement ....

is kindergarten still a better choice??? :?
