Newton Kindergarten

[izu]

Hi phtthp

Would appreciate if you could share on the difference between BRMCK and Newton? Child in N1 in another childcare centre - too international and looking for a place where she learns christian values and excellent language skills.

Which you think would be stronger in building a child?

Thank you so much.

Hi, anyone able to pm me on the school bus charges, thanks in advance

[phtthp]

call Auntie Ong tomorrow. Her official hp is 9455-3509.


depends on where you stay, she'll quote you accordingly.

if yr child needs additional transport on certain days for enrichment classes, she can also help you arrange.

example:
======
i stay in Paya Lebar (very far from Newton), school bus charges $160 per month, 2 ways to and fro.

my daughter attends 2 enrichment lessons (Art drawing on Tues & Helen O Grady Speech and drama on Wed)every week. She charge me additional $60 per Term, not per month. Very reasonable.

Hihi! Anybody registered today? Have successfully registerd our DD for PG next year AM session. Only 23 vacancies for the AM session.


Btw i forgot do they eat lunch in school before they go home for AM session?

Hi Jazzychloe,


It’s great that you have secured a place for AM session.

For AM sessions, the kids usually have breakfast (cornflakes, bao) at 8am and tea break (fruits) at maybe 10am. Lunch is served to PM sessions.

Hi jazzy


Am session kids do not take lunch, they only take Bfast and snack. I registered today for k1.

Thanks junietan and porcupine for ur reply! Guess i must hv remembered wrongly, cos i thought after they changed to 4hrs session will include lunch for the AM session. Nevertheless, this is not very important as compared to the establishment and good reviews of the school.

Anyone chose Newton because of relocation and not cause previous kindy was not up to your expectations?


I have just registered my child with Newton, but we all love our current kindy. Just that it’s a tad too far and the timing is not convenient for my new routine after we move later this year. A great sense of sadness and emo about leaving current kindy which my kids had/have attended for past 5-6yrs.

Hope newton will give us the same kind of "loving" feeling LOL

Hi Porcupine, we actually stay pretty far from Newton (we stay at Punggol). Any parents from Punggol too btw?


Anyway I do believe that Newton will provide a loving and nuturing learning environment. Have paid a visit to them before deciding and their teachers gave me a warm and friendly impression. May i know what’s ur current kindy btw? Ur kids are there for 5-6yrs already?

DS1 attended a different kindy. We chose Newton for DS2 coz it is nearer my new place and it is a church-based kindy. I like DS1’s kindy and I’m also very happy with Newton. The teachers are very experienced and you can tell they love the kids. Don’t worry, they will also give you that loving feeling!
