              BTW, when did you start with Pat's? My boy started at ard 18mths...I'm still in 2 minds about putting my 2nd one (not here yet) in infant care....don't know if I can survive the \"fall sick\" period!

                We started her here when she was 22mths. Before that she was in some other infantcare which also had a childcare, but we were concerned by the high staff turnover rate there, so we finally pulled her out.

                We initially placed her over at Pat's Katong, but somehow, it didn't work out. To put it simply, she couldn't adapt, so we got her transferred here. I must say, we like it here cos there is a core of good and dedicated teachers here...and also she has made lots of friends ๐Ÿ˜„ Can you believe it, she looks forward to going to school ??

                I can sympathise with your worry about the \"fall sick\" period, the wife and I look took leave last year till we literally ran out of leave, I even had to \"take MC\" to look after her. Fortunately, it's been much better this year *touch wood*.

                  Yah...I must say the 1st year in childcare was really tough! But, touch wood, once you survive it... it is so much better now!


                  I agree, in relation to the quality of teachers here

                  ...my son loves to go to school too! :lol:

                  And I find that he has improved so much in terms of his linguistic skills etc compared to being at home!

                  The only wish I have is that he could speak \"better\" Chinese...just felt that he now has this \"ang moh\" twang in his already very miserable spoken chinese!

                      Barring any changes, we'll probably be letting her stay here all the way. Too stressful to look for a good childcare and then having to go thru the adaptation process again :?
