Hi Preciousmoments,
I agree with debpch, 1.5hrs is too long.
In fact, the driver told me mine would be around 1 hour as he need to send those in orchard area home first.
1 hour is already very long to me.
For us, we dont have a choice as we are not able to pick her up on time.
Let's hope the school can have 1 more driver to cater to the north/north easteners

Currently they only have 2 driver for the morn- home to school route
As for the school to home route, there is
2 driver for the 12pm
1 or 2 driver for the 3pm
1 driver for the 5pm
Actually all in all, there is only 2 drivers. So they will come to and fro to pick kids from different sessions.

I agree, 1.5 hours on the school bus is much too long for a kid. Sigh, looks like I'll have to rush off from work everyday next year.

Crystalbelle, where do you stay for your bus journey to take 1 hour?

Can I check, after shower, do the kids change to new set of clothes or they wear what they wore in the mornings?

And for the older K1 and K2 children, do they still drink milk in school? School's milk or kid's own milk?

Forgot to clarify my queries with Tanya when we registered.

Hi,


Understand from Tanya that they provide UHT milk to all children. However, u can also bring ur own milk. They will also change into new clothes after shower.

Thanks Shiyunu! I forgot to ask all these impt questions.. was too busy admiring the surroundings.. :lol:

UHT milk is good, thats what my boy is drinking in his childcare now, only i have to supply it myself. Wow, changing into new sets of clothes after shower will mean that he'll need a lot of new clothes before he starts Pat's in January. He has been wearing uniform 5 days a week since he was 16 months old!

ya. Me too. I'm staying somewhere near towner.. You?? My initial plan was to send him to Halifax but the long wait list just puts me off.. Sigh..
My tentative plan is oso to drop n fetch him myself now. But I've signed him up for 1/2 day first just to let him slowly get use to w/o his parents around.. Will convert him to full day once he is more settle..
