Hi BC,

I want to register my P6 girl for week (26 oct). Do I really need to be at BC to make the registration? can it be done via online/email?

Pls advise. Thanks.

Hi,

I would suggest that you call them to find out. They are also on FB. But I recalled that I've to go down to sign up and make payment etc...

[jsmum]

Yes. I think payment must be done when you register your child. I remember I made a reservation for a slot by phone and went down to the centre at night to make payment.


There is interest-free installment 12 months available for UOB credit cards.

Have you heard of children skipping levels at BC? eg. P2 kids joing P3 classes?


I think I read somewhere MA allows that, subject to passing diagnostic test. Wondering whether BC is as flexible too?

So far I only heard of K1 joining K2 program. Esp for those born at beginning of year.

Hi Adafew,


Good for you...at least u hv decided and acted. So which branch you signed up with? I'm looking at Bishan. I have just received the forms yesterday. They enclosed a list of teachers and time table. Hope some parents here can give recommendation on good teachers at Bishan branch...though still have to see if meets our timing.

I signing up at Simei. Maybe you can look at 'I creative learner' too. Go to the other forum to check.
