i guess you can check out the CCAs provided, via the school's website.

my DD will be attending a student care at amk central but understand from the ctr's in-charge that there aren't many vacancies left.

The nearest student care centre could be the one at Bethesda Bukit Arang Church (Serangoon Ave 3). They also have a branch at Serangoon Ave 4. For more centres, you could try searching the MCYS Child Care Link database: http://www.childcarelink.gov.sg/ccls/home/CCLS_HomeParentsLocateCCC.jsp
My daughter goes to a centre in Serangoon North. All the best!

Higher Chinese is available starting from P5.

As in most other schools they will stream the girls for Chinese in the middle of P1. The majority will stay in the core group following the standard syllabus, the weaker ones will join the bridging group which has extra help to learn the basics and bring them up to standard, the stronger ones will join the enrichment group which is given some higher level work to do. These will be the candidates to do Higher Chinese in later years although there is movement between the groups where necessary so it is not set in stone.

Would you want to try checking out at Cambridge in Serangoon Garden Club?

My gal attending her nursery class there and I think they have student care as well. I ever saw some bigger kids around in the morning. I don't send my gal to sch this day so not sure they still have it.

Hope this info is helpful to you.
