CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh)

[gksmummy]

Essential and baby2luv seems like we are all near each other!! Which schools are ur girls in now?


Are any of you doing p1 assessments w ur girls now? I will like to start but it seems that English does not hv fixed textbooks. Anyone can share how u r preparing your kids?

[gksmummy]

Baby2luv, so when will ur top be? Will it be ready by next year? If not, I think it will take a long time for ur girl to travel?

[Baby2luv]

Hi gksmummy, I’ve not prep my gal yet. Might want her to enjoy her childhood for the time being. Will see how she fare next year then decide.


TOP will likely be in May 2012, hopefully earlier. So for the early part of next yr, she will need to travel for a longer time… I’m crossing my fingers…

[gksmummy]

Baby2luv, yah me also scared to give my girl much work now as I want her to enjoy learning. Such a dilemma, give bcos I’m worried girl will dislike learning dont give scared she won’t be able to catch up.


From clementi down can take PIE but sometimes may jam. U putting ur girl in BASC? I’ll pray for ur hse to top soon so that ur girl won’t be so tired out. I know bco my girl goes to cc in Clementi. Hope you’ll be able to move here soon!!

[Baby2luv]

gksmummy, we mummies are always in a dilemma aren't we? All mummies want their children to be at their best. Hahah!!


I'm likely to put my girl in BASC once I shifted to TPY. No one can take care of her unless I can find a nanny nearby who's willing to help. Your girl goes to CC in Clementi? Which one? Mine is in My First Skool @ Blk 428. Thank you for your well wishes! I'm definitely looking forward to staying in TPY real soon!

[gksmummy]

Hahahah u r so right, my husband always say I worry too much! But he doesn’t understand if we dun prepare them, ultimately they may lose out!


BASC: there are a few which u can consider here eg proteach has 2 outlets, 1 at tpy cc another behind my blk. But wait list is long. Another two which I’m considering are Good shepherd BASC in Marymount convent and RIcco BASC n music sch behind my blk. Do check them out early in all spirit of kiasuism. Hehe…

Childcare: my 3kids are in Kinderland at SIM. very rigorous curriculum which find too taxing for the kids.

[Baby2luv]

I'm considering Proteach in tpy central. I know their waiting list is long but I will only likely to put my gal in the later half of the year. So hopefully they've a place for her by then. I've dropped them an email but they've yet to contact me. Do you know how much are their charges? Are the other 2 BASC good??


Wow, you've got 3 kids. You must be a super mum cos sometimes I can't even handle my only gal. Hahah.

[gksmummy]

Baby2luv it’s def not easy w 3 little ones…but it’s really a joy n blessing which God has given.


I think the rates are ok for all 3 centers per term I can’t confirm yet but will be calling to check on them. Good Shepherd is well liked bcos of it’s pastoral program for the kids. RIcco is new but for it’s music school it’s v established. I stay w my in laws so I will sign my girl up for BASC during 2nd half of yr…can go to Marymount link to see d reviews which the parents hv for the BASC.

Btw to all mummies n daddies, kinderfun( united sq n centrepoint) hVing sch bag sales. $46 discount… Though it’s only aug, but maybe we can settle 1 item off the list first.

The PEAK...WOW !
We went to see the show flat sometime back...the prices are SKY HIGH.
It's convenient for my daughter to go to school if we shift there but not for my son. My hubby uses the PIE to send daughter to school every morning...no jam at 650am.
