Trying to locate comments on LSH. Come by this http://sg.88db.com/sg/Services/Post_Detail.page/Learning_Education/Children_Enrichment_Programmes/?PostID=64457


Wonder is it the same LSH we talking about? How come uniform different?!

I suppose you were referring to My First Skool, right? My First Skool is the new name of the former NTUC Childcare.

Hi Fion!

Congratulations! :celebrate:

So happy for you! What's more, she's offering you the corporate rate! That's why it's always good to talk to the management. :evil:

I think I mentioned this in my earlier post. LV doesn't offer half-day program. You are always welcome to bring your child home after lunch, but you still pay the same price as those attending the full-day program. Hence, the $480 refers to the full day program. You still pay $480 if you want your child to be in the centre for half a day.

As for the uniform, I think a set costs about $30. They have the morning uniform, and the afternoon uniform. The morning uniform is the formal uniform (looks like sailors), while the afternoon uniform is t-shirt and shorts.

So, do you still want to attend the briefing organised by LSH or do you want to go with LV?

Hi qms ,


Thanks for advising me to email her
$480 is after the $300 deduction right?
I remember i went to visit LSH at the vista, their half day is $540.
But i'm not sure if i were to pay the deposit does that mean i'll confirm have a place for my son? and how much is the deposit?

For the uniform $30 per set does it include the morning & afternoon sets?
I wanna go to the SP2 centre and have a look than decide. not sure how big is the space , if they have any outdoor playground for children?...
As you have mention , the teachers there are good, caring, and wat they teach also not bad... i think that will be a plus point

I'll still go to LSH and see what they offer. How about you?

Hi Fion!

Fion Loh:

The rate offered to current LV@NUS parents is $480 BEFORE subsidy. Hence, after deducting the $300 subsidy, we pay $180+GST per child. If, like what you mentioned, Joanne is offering you the \"preferential rate\", $480 should be the rate BEFORE subsidy.

Fion Loh:

But i'm not sure if i were to pay the deposit does that mean i'll confirm have a place for my son? and how much is the deposit?

I would think that it means you will have a confirmed place for your son if you place the deposit. The deposit should be equivalent to one month's fee, that is, $480. Why don't you clarify with Joanne?

Fion Loh:

For the uniform $30 per set does it include the morning & afternoon sets?

The $30 is for each set. Hence, for one day, you need 2 sets (==> $60). So, it depends how many sets you plan to buy. If you want to buy two sets of each type, it will be about $120. :!:

Fion Loh:

I wanna go to the SP2 centre and have a look than decide. not sure how big is the space , if they have any outdoor playground for children?...

Yes, you should take a look at the place. There is an internal shuttle bus between NUS and SP2. We still need to know the exact location to gauge the feasibility.

Personally, I feel that it is better to go to a centre where you have feedback on. Curriculum aside, whether the centre is good or bad depends ultimately on the staff in the centre. Learning Vision as a whole may be good, but don't be surprised if you receive negative feedback on other centres. That's because of the staff. As parents, we want to ensure that our children are in good hands. I think this is especially true for you because your son is still young.

For my daughter, she's \"old\" already. She is also the vocal type, hence, she will tell me if she is not happy with something in the school, for which I will then be able to \"action\" on it. :evil:

We will attend the briefing by LSH next week before we make any decision. Can you provide feedback after attending the session next Tuesday? Will appreciate it very much!

As I was told, current location area is about 10k sqft, new location is 8k sqft. With kid:area ratio, it is slightly bigger in new location.

That's why it's called \"preferential rate\"!

Now, I wonder - why did she offer you the preferential rate? Areyou working in Science Park?

I know one of your kid was under Pricilia, how about your K1 kid? Same as my girl?

For the $100 registration fee, I called up the \"hotline\" they said this is standard procedure. Unless we make more noise next week during briefing to get them waive and free us one set of uniform. Or uniform half price. Hehe.. UNION IS THE POWER. We all need to voice out same thing for every session. I registered for 28 Oct one. You? 27 Oct? If so update me after that. Hee..
