Hi
My son is in SMART KIDS Educare at Buangkok. If you are looking for something special, you should try this Child Care Centre.
This CC is not the 'branded' one so you might not have heard of it. The person who set up the school is the one that teaches. She is very dedicated and always shows lots of enthuastism. From the first time that I call her, I can tell that she really wants to teach and have lots to offer.
Whenever i ask for feedback, I can always get specific comments on my child.
Good luck. It's not easy to find a good school. -
Hi kstwinkle ,

any review for Genius School House in Punggol (Blk 637D)? My daughter will be turning 18months next Feb, and currently looking for childcare for her.
She is at PCF Sparkletots (AMK) infant care now. We do have priority to “promote” to the childcare once she turn 18months. But we have moved to Punggol and would like to place her in Punggol childcare instead of travelling to AMK again.
Thanks. -

If anyone thinking of Kidz Plahouz at Punggol please DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR CHILD'S FUTURE. It's a very bad school and I had a very bad experience as my son was tortured by the school teacher. I am already doing what is required as per the law and am waiting for a final decision. Please dont select this school there are better schools out there.
:scared: Well, I need to put myself in the alert mode now since I am going to enrol my boy to childcare soon. Along I thought this is a good one I have shortlisted these few
1. Eduventure Childcare
2. EShkol valley
3. Faith Educare Blk 107D
4. Faith Educare Blk 275A near buangkok mrt station
Any comments. Thanks in advance -
I just signed my son up for Eshkol valley last week. It was quite a last min decision as I just got pregnant & worried my mum cant cope with 2 kids later on. Most childcares are full when i called to enquire.
Didnt see much reviews on this childcare since it's still v new.. Anyone care to share? Find it abit expensive at $680 per mth after subsidy. I have the intention to put my 2nd child in childcare once he hit 18 months. Any cheap one to recommend?elmo493:

Jazzy,
care to share how was the matter discovered and proven? My DS also came back one day from CC and got a stapler mark. -
my sister’s child is in bright juniors at punggol twenty-fourth ave. they have good reviews on it as their teacher is caring and provides useful feedback to parents. i visited the centre once, really impressed with how the teacher answered my questions on children. can take a look there… their fees are 620 after subsidy.
my children are with dayspring kindergarten at seventeen ave as my wife dont prefer CC. academic based…not sure if there are still vacancies though…the teachers are very experienced and we enjoy the graduation concert every year…
there are many other CC centres around twentyfourth ave… -
I second the advice not to go to Kidz playhouz. The teachers and principal came acrossed as snobs. Their fees are affordable which probably explains the popularity of the school…it was later discovered (per straits time) how they manage to charge that kind of fee then…

Hi,

I would need new opinion from parent who has their kids in MMI sengkang now. Thanks -
Need advice.

Hi
I intend to enrol my kid in eduadventure childcare at punggol 195c this year, any comments on the current environment? Also, how is their curiculum for kindergarten, does it prepare the kid well for p1 or do we have to fork out extra for academic enrichment? Thanks in advance! -
Oh, I live in punggol but send my kid to a church kindy in hougang. Quite impressed by the lessons and relatively low fees. Punggol childcares all have looong waitlists! But haiz… Might need to change school when I deliver my second child coz no school bus. Any punggol/sengkang/hougang childcare or kindergarten with smaller class size to recommend? My child is so active…
a bit off topic, but, does anyone have a tutor for preschool to recommend? Must be able to handle my cheeky boy. Pls pm me
