greenbean, you deserve a medal for your contribution to Newton kindy thread ...cheers ! :celebrate:

Agree!

I see much wisdom in greenbean2011 and her replies. Also a very hardworking mum who is able to evaluate all these kindies so well!

Without greenbean2011 'kicking my ass' to register my son at MMK quickly last year, I might jolly well have missed it and I shudder to think about the consequences. I was only but days away from missing out on the last few vacancies at MMK!

So thanks greenbean2011, kee...hee...hee!

Hi lil jade,


My boy didn't want to go sch and he was previously from MMK, so I dun think I highly recommended MMK.haha.

But of coz if ur child enjoy going to sch, then that's good. I regretted never listen to him. Because now, he prefers not to go school also and he is in primary school now.

ya but I know most church schools require the children to pray... and tt's not viable for non-christian children. that's why I wanna find out first before proceeding as we're not christians.

they can't force you if you make it known

but honestly i wonder why non-Christian should be interested in a church-run kindergarten ? sorry if i am being insensitive

I reckon its because not all religious groups as well as/or non-christians classify themselves as exclusive.

Just to share that ....

I am not christian but my DS is enrolled in a church kindy.

I am absolutely fine with the inculcation of Bible story telling sessions, singing of hymns and the fact that he is being taught to say grace before meals etc ...

I appreciate the values being imparted and regard this aspect of his education positively.

Hi Greenbean,


Do you know how long is the bus trip to Sin Ming area? I presume there is a bus from Sin Ming to Newton (since you mentioned that Uncle Ong goes to Jln Pemimpin)

[greenbean2011]

hello mimama,



Sorry.
i stay in the east near Kembangan.
not sure about Sin Ming.

auntie Ong takes care of kids staying in the east.
uncle Ong takes care of kids staying in Toa Payoh, Bishan, Jln Pemimpin, AMK, Sembawang.

perhaps can give auntie Ong a call to check ?
she is the one that does all the route planning, timing, bypassing bad traffic jam on highway.

tel: 9455-3509

Sin Ming is around Bishan area, so it should be Uncle Ong. Will give them a call to find out when the time comes…

Thanks for the useful info about Newton Kindy, it opens up my option of choosing a kindy now…
