[Jurong East/Jurong West] Preschools

[mrsm]

Hi mummies, i have a 21-mth-old son and im now looking to enroll him in a playgroup. The nearest to my place is only talentplus but i dont really like it. So far I’ve narrowed down to Summer Montessori and The Enrichment Classroom at JW Sports Complex. Problem is my helper has to take a bus to n fro to either sch… sighhh


The Enrichmt Classrm only take in 24M n above so i’ll hav to wait till Apr. Fees will be S$280/mth, 2 hrs M-F. Have up to K2 but Nursery, K1 n K2 will be S$350/mth, 3 hrs M-F.

Im not sure of the fees at Summer though… The lady who called me refused to disclose details on the phone… Just told me to go dwn to the sch for more info and only left slots in 11am-1pm… Can choose to go 3x a wk also which i think shld be enough for now. Anyone knows abt the fees? Or if u know abt any other schs in JW? TIA!

I received a PM from them too. But no time to check them out yet. If you have, please share and review here? :thankyou:!

I’ve enrolled my boy in Tykes Playhouse. He was previously from another montessori school which does not cater transport hence the switch.

There at Tykes Playhouse not only the teachers are well experienced, it has a great preschool environment too.
I’m residing in Bukit Panjang & shouldthere be any parents who are keen in enrolling your child there too, do PM me if you require transport as the school is arranging for one (cost will not be so expensive if there’s a certain number of children).

Basha, can you elaborate on the number of classes, the teacher:student ratio, the facilities, the teachers and Principal etc? we would all like to know more.


Thank you!

Sigh… dear mummies, need all your advices. In the end we decided to send him to Little Learners but he has been crying everyday when he knows it’s time for school. Doesnt even wan to put on his uniform. His temper is also getting from bad to worse.


Now, I need to start this school hunting again on top of the headache over school hunting… any schools to recommend?

Hello pinkitty :snuggles: :hugs:
So sorry to hear about it :hugs: ...my 2009 DS is still having fun playing at home as this mummy is still contemplating whether to send him for playgroup yet

Did you try talking with the teachers in the school? are they able to help like coaxing into the classroom? Which centre did you send him to?

[pinkitty]

Actually, we were debating whether to let him stay at home or go to school but he is really active and we do observe that he is slowly beginning to be shy, so we are worried that we put him at home, he will lose his social skills.


The teacher kept telling me it’s ok but a lot of tell tale signs makes us think it doesnt seems ok. It’s Little Learners at Jurong West near to JP…

Hi kabalevsky,


There are currently 3 kids in the class as it’s newly opened. Was told thatthe ratio is 2 teachers to about 8 kids. The school is by the poolside. Teachers are  experienced and trained. Every friday there’s Speech n Drama.
