      Is it necessary to go for enrichment class before the child starts primary one? Which school would you recommend around Sengkang area for both English and Chinese?

          Ministers & MP don't send their kids to neighbourhood schools. Parents will not move to another location or join PV, if all schools are equally good. Nan Chiau is the most popular in Sengkang & Meetoh is popular in Punggol. Need to be within 1 km to ballot for the schools. Become a PV to increase your chance of getting into the schools.

            Preferably attend phonics class (1 year course, once a week) in K1 & Hanyu Pinyin class (1 month intensive course, June or Dec holiday) K2. Maybe you can check out Just education for Phonics & Beijing for Hanyu Pinyin.

              being able to read helps a lot.

                  WOW !! I didn’t know need to prepare myself and my child for this stuff. Headache now… By the way, my child is a extremely slow eater and easily distracted by anything. Does anybody have problem settling your child to eat faster during the recess ? Any ways to improve their speed ? Cos I know their recess timing is only about 25-30mins.

                    Yes, I have this situation too. My son takes 1 hour to take a meal. In kindergarten, he takes very little food. How to solve this?..stress lah.
