[Serangoon North] Preschools

[mng1377.011133hotmail.011133com]

Hi Everyone,


I’m new here.
My girl is turning 2 years old this year and we live in serangoon north as well.

Anyone with recommendation for pre-school/playgroup/nursery for 2 or 3 years old?

In addition, for 2 years old kid to start schooling around 2 years old, must I enrol her now?

And if for 2 years old kid to start schooling at 3 years old, must I enrol her now or next year when she is 3 years old?

I’m sorry everyone, I’m totally not sure about schooling arrangement for children.
Can anyone kindly advice me?

Best regards

Hi MJ,

We also stay in the same area and have been looking around for a preschool for our 2.5 yo girl. From our understanding, there's no standard enrolment time, really depends on individual kindy or CCC and also their availability.

We visited 4 CCCs recently - Cambridge, Schoolhouse by the garden, Preschool by the Park (Li Hwian and Carmichael). We visited Schoolhouse by the garden a 2nd time today with our girl and she seems to like it too. She will be starting in dec.

More details on my blog http://www.nagmummy.com/?p=175

hi, i m sending my son to zoo phonic @ serangoon central, i stay hougang n need to engage school bus service. I had done some survey but still not so sure about the bus fare. The driver tat appointed by the school (3rd party) call me up this morn informing the charges is $130 for 2 way and i ask him about 1 way charges, he said only $20-$30 different.


Would any mummies advise me is this the standard rate? Or can anyone share their bus service contact with me for NE area? By any chance any mummies/daddies here sending their kid to pre-school around the same area (930am-100pm), would u mind fetching my son along? Token of appreciation will be given, kindly email me to discuss. [email protected]

Thanks in advance for reading n replying!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

How about PCF ? I think they still emphasize on academic work. My daughter is attending RC class every Sat and her teacher is from Little Wings (PCF centre right ?).

Hi Janet_lee88,

I am not too sure about Little Wings, but I gather alot of feedback regarding PCF, seems like they learn thru play as not so academic focus.
