[singmyway]

My kid is also in Bishan 153 MFS.

Like you say…its too new, teacher are mostly foreigne talent too. Principle are new and does not seems to control the teachers well.
My kid come back frequent with injury too…
And everyday when he is back, I ask him what have you learn…he can’t answer me…
He use to be from another MFS which is far better…regret transferring him over here…
Anyone can recommend me a better sch to move him to…should be K1 now…but still seeing him hanging out with smaller kid…

Hello everyone,


I am new here. Would like to check if anyone has their kid send to any of the schools, My first skool, Licdo or Discovery Garden? These school are around YCK area. Please share your feedback.

I have shortlisted these schools, going to make a trip down to have a look. But would appreciate if any parent can share their past experiences with any of these schools?

Thank you.

Hi Singmyway,


There is one near Bishan, its at Braddell Heights Estate, 6 Muswell Hill. The cc name is Brainy Kids Schoolhouse, a Montessori school. My son is studying there now and there school bus is available. You may want to try giving them a call or visit their website, http://www.brainykids.com.sg. I had my registration fee waived off and free 3 months trial for English Speech and Drama. Hope the offer is still available.

hi everyone,


i’m deciding between Our Junior Schoolhouse and CherieHearts(Kids at play). Both are located in Westlake Avenue.
Does any parents here have their child enrolled in either of these 2 preschools?
Hope to hear some feedback.
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi happyhippo,
I'm also considering these 2 preschools for N1 2013 enrollment and will be visiting Cherie Hearts tomorrow. Might do the same for Junior Schoolhouse.
Are you looking to register for N1 2013? Have you gone to take a look yet?

Hi Meowniu,


My son is in LiCdo Schoolhouse. Its a small cc with private garden and playground. What I like about the school is it’s small teacher child ratio, emphasis on character development and bilingual teaching. You can check out their website.
I saw pg 47 also have a comment on the sch. I agree with her, that being in a small school, allows greater opportunity for the child to blossom. I can see how my son (K2) come back from school recently and said he wanted to learn new words (encouraged by his class teacher). I can see in him a keen and independent learner and more importantly interacts well socially.

How much is the monthly fees after subsidies (full time working mother)?

How many children are there in the N2 class (born in 2008) at present?

Sorry, my son in K2, not sure N2...abt 5, 6 or 7. Its a small sch..the principal mention before that ratio will be small. U can call them , check their website for details. type \"LiCdo\" to search..it should appear.

I strongly recommend Totsville Pre-sch. I seen significant improvement on DD2 reading after 1 term, she is able to use the sounds learnt to decode to read new words. As compared to DD1 who went thru MFS k1-K2 program she learns much more just for 1 term. dd1 still struggles with decoding on her own at P1. I regretted putting her at MFS. Totsville teachers are more than just teachers doing their job, they care for the kids n go beyond their duties to help.
