mommyvan:
You're most welcome. Sorry I wasn't able to comment on the MMI @ Jurong West Ext.
Thanks a lot, ChiefKiasu. Going to the Open house of MMI Jurong West Extension this weekend. Hope things go well
Actually, if you have the time, it's probably better you take a peek when they are actually in operation, to see first hand what the kids are doing. Going on a Saturday will only allow you to see (and smell :)) the premises. Normally only a few kids will be around, and probably just watching TV and passing time since there are no official programmes on for them. -
Harlow mommyvan,
Sorry for the late reply. I presumed you have been to the open house at MMI…did you managed to get the info you needed?
I have personally seen how the teachers handle the children in the playgroup when my son was there for a trial in nursery class. They came across as very experienced, it happens to be the beginning of school term and everyone seem to be CRYING!!
To my knowledge, there are 6-7 children to 2 full time teachers in the current class. To me, this number is GOOD as it is SMALL.
Or have you looked into other schools in our area? -

2 FT teachers for 6-7 kids is amazing! I don't think even Eton House provides such ratio. Not sure if that is a temporary thing or they are just waiting for more kids to sign up....

ChiefKiasu:
sometimes cos it is the beginning of school term, the centre will arrange for teachers from the older kids' class to help out in the nursery class.

ahah…they are waiting for more kids to sign up. 6-7 children is the current nos of children in the PG.
The two teachers that i mentioned are the main teachers to the PG. -
Tell me about it Chiefkiasu, I'm currently working in one of those branded boys schools in the town area....parents tried ways and means to get their child into the school! I may be considered one of those lucky mummies who can get her son to be in the school but the thing is.......I do not have a son! BaH!

You can always quickly initiate another \"project\" to take advantage of your staff benefits. Might get lucky and get a boy this time around :lol: . -

Is the $600 before the working mum subsidy? If so, it's not bad already. I'm paying around $650 for a half-day session for my daughter in Kinderland.
