Newton Kindergarten

[phtthp]

you can try calling Auntie Ong in charge of school bus transport, or sms her at official tel: 9455-3509. There should be school bus to AMK, don’t worry.


however since school holidays had already started, nobody is in school now. Many of the staff had already gone off with family on holiday. In the last week of school holidays, ie. last week of Dec 2011, ie. that week just before school re-opens in Jan 2012, you may try calling up the school - see if any staff happen to come back to pick up your call.

anyway, not to worry. Most important is settle school bus transport.
On his first day at school, you may take half day leave to accompany your son. He’ll be in good hands. The teachers have many years of experience in Newton kindergarten settling kids down in the initial first week in school. They know how to manage kids, trust them.

I have put my son into Ascension kindergarten & it’s on waiting list, however I see lots of negative comments on the school.


I’m thinking on enrolling my son to Newton due to positive feedbacks from parents.

My son is May 2009 baby. Initial plan is to put him into 2 hours drop off program beginning of next year until he can settle down. The class is small & it’s less than 10 kids. Then transfer him to Ascension once there’s a vacancy.

If I call the school beginning of Jan next year, will there be a vacancy for my son? I’m more interested on PM class, because my son wakes up late. If they don’t have vacancy, can I put my son into waiting list? How’s my chance?

Do I need to wait for years in order to put my son to Newton? I have a friend and she registers her son 2 years in advance at ST. James. Not sure if it applies same thing with Newton.

Oops, just saw this post...I was at the school for some activities and saw the office open. They were re-organizing the classrooms. But I think this info is irrelevant now.

Happy New Year everyone!


This very disorganised mum is wondering if there was any letter sent out to advise what to expect the first few days of school? We moved last Dec and have not heard anything from the school.

I recall from Orientation that there are 2 snack breaks for the kids? I have to pack my own as my son is pretty allergic to many foods. Can anyone please verify?

Are parents allowed to hang around the school during lesson times (downstairs)? Is there any point in doing so? Am dropping son off, but he takes school bus home.

Anything else to share anyone?

Many thanks fellow parents! Wishing one and all a good year ahead.
