[gumiho]

Hi,


May I know is it too late to enrol into childcare centre now ?

I had called up 2 childcare centre but understand both of them are full. Apparently, I’m searching for a childcare centre in Tampines area (which has vacancy) to enrol my 3yo. Any recommendation ?

Hi,


:? I am looking for a childcare centre in Pasir Ris area for my 2-year-old boy.

Would appreciate any recommendations for a good one or a hint on those no-no. :idea:

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Dont go to MMI Pasir Ris. Cos my son is there for 2 years and i'm transfering him out from there becos his English teacher (name start with an S) has accidentally given him medicine which belong to another child. It is not a small matter. I'm dissapointed with the school and his teacher.

it seems like we have very little options in tampines.


i did a booking for josiah montessori.. but i'm a little hesitant.. but it seems like its the best i can find last minute.

i'm looking at half-day playschool options around simei/tampines, preferably more play-based. did you go for josiah in the end? any comments?

When I visited and spoke to the teachers, it seemed that it was more learning through play than say PCF schools.

And I suppose montessori methods are more individualised and not stressful or rote, each kid can go at his or her own pace...

So am considering Josiah as well. Convenience of location is another major factor for me. hope this helps.

The fees are a little too costly too me too.

I've just enrolled my kids (4yrs and 2yrs) at the Little Skool House. Newly open at the Tampines Jucttion Building. Environment is nice, new and bright but not too sure abt the teaching though cos really new sch. Teachers are nice and friendly too.

Like what toddles said, convenient is important so that's why i put them there.

Thanks all for the feedback. I checked out little skool house as well but it's more a childcare arrangement as opposed to a 2-3hr programme that I'm more inclined towards. And yes, was also thinking that I hadn't had the chance to see the teachers at work so I've put it on the kiv list for the moment. Would appreciate it if you could let us have some feedback after your kids have started school, thanks
