Hi RAchelmum,

Pardon my KPO-ness,

Do you drive or is there schbus service provided by Shaws?? Its kinda out of the way for someone staying in Punggol. Quite deep inside a residential estate.

okie anyway, about Shaws at Braddell. Went to recee the place in Aug last yr. Loved the fact that there is a huge outdoor play area. Sch is housed in a one story bungalow. Oh and it has an international feel to it cuz you have both local and expatriate kids there. That was really nice. The two teachers I communicated with spoke good English. One seems to be an old-timer there. They curriculum is based on learn thru play. The teachers looked v enthusiastic while teaching the kids. The staff are also v accomodating in answering your quest. I was there for almost an hr. A good frd and neighbour sent his 4 kids there and they are v v happy.

I was disturbed or maybe just being fussy lah ....

By the fact that the N1 kids had (dried) snot running down their noses, while they were queuing up for something. I noticed that toilet paper was placed at the entrance of the sch, perhaps to wipe the runny nose :?

The toilets were unisex. Not sure if that is the norm but I didn't feel comfortable with that.

The place didn't look too clean. Also the toys in the play area looked old and worn out.

Their Mandarin is not an immersion programme.

Actually, there have been some positive input about Shaws in this forum. If I can find the thread, will attach link. As I said, I may be too fussy

As for Chatsworth, it is REALLY hard to fix an appointment to go down and see the sch. The admin lady is REALLY :frustrated: to deal with. V hoity toity and she actually told me that no point coming down to see the sch cuz if DS doesn't get in, then we will be heartbroken :x They seem to have a waiting list. Like as if there are no other good preschs available. Even emails to the P are intercepted by her. And they claim in their website to have an open door policy

They sch also has an international feel to it. So far, from what I know, they don't have Mandarin lessons everyday until K2 and that is a minus point for me. The CL teacher is also outsourced.

Anyway, all this research was done last yr, when I had the intention to send DS to a preschool. There could have been changes implemented since then. Please do go down and have a look yourself

Hope this helps

RAchelmom,


These are the links I found in the Shaws thread. May not be the latest though. Hope they are helpful:
