dc mummy

i think i visited CM ard the same time for my #1 as well.. (Since our #1s same playgrp then). yah that was my pri choice then.. until i enrolled #1 in d-story club at serangoon when he was 18mths onwards.. during that period..we were taken over by the rustic building and spacious environment and since then no regrets..

As i mentioned to mtdt before, i dropped by CM this year in preparation for #2's future arrangment and was quite disappointed w the current upkeep of the env. :x.. and seems like they onli have 7 children in 07 group this year leh :P... and even asked whether i wanna put #1 with them.. i told them #1 is inside same future sch with Mtdt's.. she then keep quiet... but yes, that's still the best in sengkang.punggol area. .. thankfully seems like i can start #2 in toddler class come next term 4.. ie when she is 26mths old :).
mtdt
playgrp still in that back alley leh ... i tot the back alley quite good... a standalone stretch from the bigger children...

i saw the cockroach in that back alley classroom loh! so wat do u think my impression would be!

but to be fair - I never visit the sch eversince... thus maybe now after the reno really looks ok bah

Dear Serangoon mummies,

I checked out that branch twice.
I was very impressed with the size and the layout.

Can I check, in the morning, when you're dropping your kids, isst convenient? The lane leading to the branch seems to be very tight.
Will there be jam in the morning?

Want to find out more, just in case one day I decide to transfer to Serangoon.
:lol:

there's a slight jam
but most parents will drop the students at that stretch of the road.. and every day, there will be 2 \"on-duty\" teachers to hold the hands of the students and help the students cross the road and into the school compounds right to the temperature checking area.

raining days even better. the teachers with their umbrellas will shelter the students across the road and into the temperature checking area.

to add onz.. though a bit out of point.. for my #1 first excursion, all parents went along.. the daddy told me it rained when they reached back school... the admin staff n principal all came out of the office and took umbrellas to shelter the kids frm the rain.

good service hoR?

wow... the thread is so active now...


since this is the first time that i am sending my kid to school... i have some qns to ask the more experienced parents.

What do we need to prepare for the kids to bring to school?
- stationary?
-books?
-clothes?
- milk?
-milk-bottles?
-beddings?

if they are supposed to take a bath, must we prepare our own soap, towels etc etc?

my kid is not toilet-trained... is that a problem?

Hi Smurfy,

Impressed!! Excellent services!
So theres no worries even when it rains.
Basically its a drive and drop kind of thing?
Parents dont have to park our car somewhere to walk the kids to the school at all??

Btw, i notice that the big road almost next to the school, Upper Serangoon road, is very convenient as I dont have to go through the small lane to reach Serangoon Pat’s.
Are there any teacher station along that road to pick up the kids?

The other time when i was there, i have to go through this Simon road and midway, we have to stop several times to give way to oncoming vehicles. Somehow there a quite a few vehicles parked by the roadside that day. Is that common in the morning?

By the way, side track abit.
Does your side have alot of excusion that includes parents?
So far, my kid only has 2 excusion this year. Only 1 allow parent.

Hi mtdt,


I am planning to transfer to full day prog.
Pillow and bolster we have to supply ourselves?
So every week bring back to wash??

Toothbrush, toothpaste!
Good! Currently her group dont have the practice to brush the teeth.
I desperately need the school to start this routine as my DD simply hate to brush.
Will be great if the school can train her properly in terms of oral hygiene.

Hi debpch,
I also left a bottle of mosqito repellent with the school.
As for diaper, you may leave half a pack with the school, they will inform u once they run out of diaper.

I am wondering… will the school help to toilet train the kids?

Don't worry, by the age of 2-3, yr kid will automatically do it due to peer pressure. Don't force them.
