My First Skool (former NTUC Childcare)

[Mama Windy]

Hi Lucido,


Thanks for your suggestion. I’ve filled up the pre-reg form & a lady by the name of Gan Ping contacted me & told me that the centre @ Blk 375 would b ready by Dec. As I need 1 quite urgently for my son in Dec, I’ve agreed for Blk 428 1st. Hopefully blk 375’s branch will b more confirm by Nov. I will b around the place this Sat, maybe I will take a look at the construction.

The branch may be new but the teachers may b experienced teachers from other branches as well. Nearer to your resident would be more convenient. As least, if you are not well, u still can send the kid to the child care & u can rest at home. Rather than travel a distance to the child care & back home again.

Hi Mama Windy,


So far I haven't received any call from the admin person yet even though I've reserved a place..

I totally agree with you re. distance. If I can't make it back in time to fetch my son by 7pm, I can also asked my in-laws to fetch coz they're staying at Ave 5.

I was at Blk 375 the other evening. They walled up more than half of the void deck of the blk for constructing the centre. Hence, very likely its floor area will be bigger than Blk 428's.

Btw, which avenue are you staying at? I'm at Ave 2.

Hi Lucido,


Blk 375’s setting should b bigger as they hv student care as well. Too bad I’ve committed the student care at clementi CC, else they would hv met my requiremtn, student care + Child care for both my kids. Anyway, I quite like the student care in clement cc.

I stayed in ave 2 too…

Oic. Currently my son is in TalentPlus at clementi cc.

Hi Lucido,


My First Skool Blk 375 is having an open hse + registration nxt Sat.

Did u receive any email from them? There will b 2 sessions:

1) 230 to 315pm
2) 330 to 430pm

I will most like be going for the 1st session as I’m sending my daughter for a class in Clementi CC at 230pm.

Hi Mama Windy,


Yes, I received the email from them. Haven’t decide which timing to go yet.

Hi Mama Windy,


Brought my boy to the open house last saturday and he enjoyed the environment and toys! haha…

I have put down his name with the centre and indicated ‘very interested and confirmed’. Hope they will contact me soon for the earliest intake.

i registered my son in the bedok centre... he was there since he was 3... just to share....


i like the teachers there as most of them are friendly and homely... i felt safe to place my son there... my son used to be very malay speaking but after he joined the school... he improved alot that amazed me and my hubby... i really want to thank the educators there... a few days back was my son's graduation day.... he had alot of fun...

oh... i read some comments above saying abt outdoor play.... well... in bedok centre...they have outdoor everyday for about 45min except wen it rains....

yup... just some sharing with you all....

Hi,


Am thinking of putting my boy at NTUC Childcare at Blk 140 Serangoon North Ave 2. Anyone has any feedback on this childcare? Teacher? Food?
Or any recommendation for Childcare around Serangoon North ave 1 or 2?

Hi, possible to share your view pertaining to the napping time for CC? My son switched to My First Skool in Dec last year. As it was a "play" month, no schedule was given out to me. This year, I got their schedule, was shocked to see that the kids nap fr 2 to 4pm.


Do u all find this timing too late?

CC operates from 7am to 7pm. 2pm, that’s 7 hrs after they reach CC (some parents like me hv to send our kids in early due to work etc. Or prob 7+ hrs from waking up time of 6+am.

Waking up to 4pm, kids wun sleep early later at nite. This would make us parents with older school going kids having prblm getting, all the kids to sleep at the same time at home & waking up at 6+am.

Share your view! I’m trying to get MFS to review their sleeping time.
