actually i feel... esp for my centre, they are not tat protective to the kids.
alot of things they actually \"training\" the kid to do it themselves/to be careful etc.

like a montessori i visited recently, they using \"glass\" utensils!
we would never let our kid even go near it right!! but the P there says - well, of cos it's dangerous \"if not handle well\". tat's why we need to train them from young...

so generally i am fine... but of cos, if hv accidents.. i am going to scream at them! hahahaa

the part on training kids on \"glass\" (u refering to porcelin or ceramic right?) utensils is fine. but not in a grp env of all kids. accidents easily happens if one bump into another and drops the utensils. anyway u are not going to put #2 there right? my mum oso let QY use glass cups at her place -_-'

No1 - confirm staying in pats till graduate. not gd to keep changing him esp in k1/k2 already.

no2 - maybe go somewhere before pats. as my branch only hv pre nur class. no playgroup. and if tat somewhere is gd, maybe stay put (as tat somewhere has a BASC! then my no1 can go when he is p1!)

see... i also trying to minimize inconvenience. so both end up same place (for even mroe years) is best!! hahaha

hey parents… my cousin put his son in pat… but was really shock to hear that not inclusive of GST and starting march. But because of the branded, no choice, signed up.


Any other hidden cost that is compulsory?

Hi, I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with.


1. Does anyone have feedback on Baby Haven for the toddler group (2+ years)? Is the toddler program at Baby Haven similar to the toddler program at Halifax?

2. How about Ridgewood? I was told there was only the afternoon session for the toddler group, do the toddlers in the afternoon session participate in similar activities as Baby Haven morning session?

Any feedback on the programmes for 2-year old at Baby Haven or Etonhouse? I’m surprised that many schools are fully booked with their exorbitant fees!
