Hi Clarie79,

Moral CC,I passed by e school, and I saw all e teachers chat to each other n no one care while e children were playing in indoor playground, and was quite messy for the groud.
For Bambini, I talk to e principle, school I think too small for them, and not look like practices in full Montessori. But e lady was friendly enough. And e charges was $1,200 before subsidy, dun think worth it.
Anyway, just my personal opinion..

Hi Yi@cloud, thanks for your reviews! Very helpful for me. My gosh, Bambini is so ex!! Will have to strike it off fr my list.

As for moral and YWCA, I hope more parents can share their experiences and feedback here cos these are the only choices I can fall on. Pls help! Thanks

Anyone has appleland playhouse feedback? Thinking to put my boy either in new pap childcare or to appleland. Appleland is a bit of distance to me. If I put him to appleland it’s ard $500 with enrichment and transport but the new pap cc is jus walking distance. I’m really in dilemma, cos I heard kids from pap with have difficulty entering pri 1.

Having read through the pages.... got an impression that most of the forumers here are either PRs / Expat parents or Very Rich / High Income local parents ....


The fees of 5k, 2k or 1.2k term is not something an average income parent can afford for every month ... probably if there are fellow forumers who can share on economical preschools with not-bad quality will be helpful ....

Hie hie,

Just sharing wat i noe....

Per term fees are on a 10-weeks basis, 3-4 hours daily & follows the MOE sch calendar....these are usually the preschool/ kindy type. Not many of such that I know of.......... You can try YMCA and Chinese Kindergarten (Tiong Bahru area, nearer to the Tiong Bahru Market)

For monthly fees, these are probably childcare environment, 7am-7pm types, so are more costly (eg. Little Skoolhouse).....

Hi mummies, just like to share something here…I finally let my baby trying the little schoolhouse Int’l for only two weeks, and made me a bit disappointed. Although it’s the Spark award school. For toddlers class, I just felt that my boy learned at there in Zero knowledge, and less dedicated teachers. I would visit another centre name Columbia academy, which cost $1225@mth, full day care. Then see how. … Really like Artskid, but cannot try it now. A lot of Upset, still need to find a good school for my boy. For the YMCA, heard that not in good focus of academic preparation, also have not so professional teachers…etc…

err.... 2 weeks is a little short time to know wat your boy has learnt (he is oni 19+mths?).....toddlers at this age is basically absorbing & will not able to \"show\" what they have learnt..... my gal started school at 34mths old, after 6mths in sch then do i see her singing the songs she was taught in sch....!

hope all goes well/ better in the next sch

I’m just another parent who would appreciate any feedbacks on Arts Kidz at Tiong Bahru. I heard they offer foreign language teaching there but i then again i am not sure about their environment and curriculum though.
