HI NJmom,
which pre-school emphasizes daily diary writing ?
Thanks for info. -
My wife and I finally found a preschool we like for our only son at Cherie Hearts Nurtureloft at the new Midview City. My DS is 2y 8m. Do you all send your kids to school based on their age or calendar year (to tie in with MOE calendars)?
We were originally planning to enrol DS come Jan 2012. But the school has an early bird promo of 20% discount for 12 months! Confused…. -
if you send your child to Child care centre (ccc), ccc are regulated by MCYS, so go by calendar MONTH.
if you send your child to kindergarten regulated by MOE, they go by calendar YEAR - the year the child born in, don't care the month. -
Many thanks for the advice! We are registering DS as my wife likes the spacious and very clean environment. The school had in a huge indoor playground and activity area where my son had a whale of a time during the open house. Hopefully he will begin to learn more things in his playgroup.

happy to hear that your son has settled down at the child care centre ! :rahrah:

There sare the infos I have so far....
1) Child At Street 11 Ltd @ 102 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3
>priority will be given to low income family, so I guess they more focus on care rather than curriculum
2) Sunflower Kinderhub @ Amk Llp @ Mayflower Rise
>quite good as the person-in-charged v friendly, pity that there got no vacancy for my son for K2 next year
3) Pcf Kebun Baru Sparkletots Child Care Centre @ 216 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4, Kebun Baru Community Centre
>feel they are v 'close', i visited their centre but they not allow me to go in, juz say will let me know if they have vacancy
4)Ang Mo Kio Social Service Child Development Centre @ 229 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3
>No infos
consider Character montessori at AMK, but the price too steep...
kindly share if you have any good CC near this area....still looking...by the way, where u stay? -
