I stay at Jurong west ext (near ntu), may I know where do u stay?

thanks a lot for your feedback. i stay near clementi. my son is turning 5 next yr, he is studying in a kindy now, likes it there, just that he has quite a lot of time in the afternoon. so i have engaged a private tuitor to teach him twice a wk. i work long hours, so am worried he is not getting enough guidance. yet i like him to spend time with his siblings at home after he finishes school. they get to spend time together with the maids in the afternoon. if i put him in creative, then he will not be spending his time with his siblings. i feel sad each time i think of it.

Hi

thank you very much for the informative feedback....
I am moving to west coast area soon...

One last thing, I quite \"gancheong\" is whether the children are generally quite well behaved? eg, good manners, no names calling, willing to take turns...Do the teachers emphasize on \"good behaviours\"?

Last time, my son went to one pre-school before and he was labelled as \"naughty\" by one boy then he was quite upset.....(he was 2years + then) During one of the excursion which I joined them, I saw some of the older kids were pushing the younger ones during play...I did not expect to see this kind of behaviour from a montessori school


Pardon me for being so long winded cos I have been scouting around for a childcare...my son have changed schools 2 times liao...Attentive teachers with good programmes are hard to find....

I think the children there are very friendly, positive, good manners and very independent.


Last Friday evening, 2 nursery classes organize a ‘cloth mall’ event for the 2 nursery class children and parents to attend. During the 2 hrs, the teachers will show us the things that children create related to the theme. We watch VCR on how the children contribute ideas to turn their classroom to a shopping mall… do their artworks, role play, etc…. I must say that all the children did very well, as nursery children.

My boy also ‘well-known’ as naughty boy, slow learner, etc. He can control his temper better now, speak better, more confident. I really regret I did not enroll him earlier….

Hi


Thank you very much for your reply.

agree with ctcc. creative O is great. your son in N(sky)? my son also started in Sep08.


SAHM and panicmum, guess u should find the best school that suits your son. Best school doesn’t mean best for your child. My son is active and and witty but very slow with his academic. With him in creative o, he is not being stressed or discouraged but all the writing or speech. Creative O is execellent for him.

btw. i also stay in clementi (",) engaged a bus uncle… saved us lots of trouble.

And ya. SAHM, you mentioned that the classroom is messy, well i kind of find it more childlike and rooms for creativity. (",) Creative O don’t really emphasis on academic, actually also quite concern how my son will do in P1. you should find a more academic school if that’s what you are looking for. just a suggestion. can try the next to IMM.

HI ctcc & snow,


My dd is in Nursery Sky too !!

BTW, I have 2 other boys who have since graduated from Creative O.
One is P1 this year. The other is P3 this year.

Ya. I have a "relationship" with CreativeO since 2004, when my eldest joined them in K1. Only regret is that he didn’t join them earlier !!

Both had NO problems adjusting to P1.

Hi, Jenny


Creative O is at the Creative Building (International Business Park, along jurong town hall road). I am not sure the bus fm toh guan to creative, sorry.

I must say that the teachers, everyone there is really good. My friend, who is a childcare teacher for more than 15yrs, she says the Creative O is well known as good preschool, good program. Heard they always got award for their program. From the way they treat the children, I think that is their passion. You may want to call them at 68954222 to find out more information.

Hi, Emelyn
