<![CDATA[Picket Fence]]>Hi all,


I got a mailer via my email on a brandnew Childcare Centre at One-North / MacPherson.

http://www.picketfence.com.sg

So far any comments? Pictures looks nice and they seems to have lots of outdoor spaces.

My kid and I had very bad experience with the management. Perhaps you would like to refer to this forum too: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=50534


Seriously, avoid Agape if you have other options.

Hi, i'm looking for childcare around this area too. Deciding between this, Lorna Whiston or LV@Fusionopolis. I'm also considering Agape Little Uni@NTU Alumni Club.

Any feedback on the above?

For Picket Fences, are they open to public or only to members of Temasek Club?

Wondering if anyone knows about Picket Fence @ Tampines Blk 817? Seems like they just took over the previous Agape, and am wondering if the management would be fine.

Am looking to enroll my child for childcare next year.

Thanks!

That’s another "selling point" they’ve used, but when questioned why they don’t franchise kinderland "Why should I pay Kinderland?" was the reply.

Honestly I feel that they are very irresponsible and promise alot of things but fail to deliver.

MrBig:
Yes I am.

I feel that the owners (Teo) mentioned that they would ensure a smooth transition between them and Ace@work, however all I have seen is the Teo's selling their new childcare.

It seems to me that the Teo's are very childish and imho they lack integrity by saying one thing and doing another.

It is very sad, because the good name of Agape is being tarnished by the Teo's who are not going to carry on the franchise, and have been trying to SELL their 2 new premises.

Having said that I do not think that Agape is bad .... infact I like Agape... it is the Teos that have tarnished Agape's good reputation.

I see the care and reposibility of Ace@work and imho \"good riddence to the Teos and Agape@Cashew\"

Sounds very attractive. Was told T&Cs applies though.


Anyone with more info to share. Especially on the promotion. Will be a sweet deal if no clauses.

Nope.. they are open to the public... so how old is your child ?

Would you be able to share on their curriculum?

Mediapolis is the govt’s designated media-related industry cluster. Committed tenants include MediaCorp, possibly other media-sector players in the books, video, sound, post-prod, areas. Similar to how Biopolis is supposedly Singapore’s biotech cluster, Fusionopolis is the digital media cluster etc.

Hi,


Just a quick update after viewing the place yesterday.

1) Fees: Full day $1180
With opening promo of $200 for 12 months should be $980. MCYS $300 subsidy applies.

2) Environment: Pretty satifised as its newly renovated. What really caught my interest is the indoor playground with computer facilities. Was also told by the supervisor that they are also considering computer literacy for the K1/K2 classes once the numbers are in. I guess it will be more cost effective this way. Overall, a very nice setup with lots of space for kids to have outdoor activities (swimming as well)

3) Transportation can be a challenge if you don't drive as the location is quite exclusive.

Personally, with it being a new setup, the student to teacher ration will be really low and I hope to take advantage of it. Its just like personalised tuition instead of my DS's current school of 1:about 20 children.

By the way, can anyone shed some light on this \"Medapolis\" project? They are just across the road and I'm wondering will the area be too populated after August? I saw on the contruction site that the estimated completion date is Aug 2012. Pretty soon imho.
Mediapolis is the new site for Mediacorp and they will be moving there.

So do you intend to transfer your K1 kid there ?

As this is a new setup, my concern is that they might not have iron out certain issues and the cirrculum might not be refined yet... what do you think ?

Hi,


We will be paying $1050 for DD1 wef Apr 2012. There was a $100 increase last year and this year again. DD1 is 4 this year. They have told us it is highly likely there will be a fee increase every year. For DD1, she just turned 1. If she joins LV next year. it will be at least $1200 as that is the current rate for new entries.
Wow.. LV is 1050 now ah.. so exp.. so DD2 is in K1 in LV this year ?

[quote=\"spud2345\"]Hi,


was wondering if the $300 MCYS subsidy is applicable for Picket Fences?

thanks in advance!

Yes... you interested too ? 🙂

Yes, currently DD1 is in LV which has been raising prices like its going out of fashion so we're a little concerned about the long term impact on finances, especially with DD2 starting school next year ... have to look for alternatives.

Would anybody be able to share the price of the full day and half day programme?

Full day is $1180 before MCYS subsidy and there is a $200 discount now lasting a year. I think half day is $980 but no $200 discount.

So how much you paying for LV now ?

BTW, how old is your child ?



Thank![/quote]

Called and found out that they have 2 new centres, one in Temasek Club (One-North) and the other in Macpherson area (was told opp Siemens Building).


Like the centre's concept in Temasek Club as they have lots of outdoor activities due to the space available. Was told over the phone that they offering $200 off the full day monthly programme for the 1st 12 months as well as incorporating swimming lessons for the K1 and K2 students.

Wow..sounds value for money. Will definitely check it out. Thanks for sharing.

Good.. then the students there will increase and swimming lessons and Speech and Drama will start very soon 🙂
