Hi, any latest feedback on this centre? I have not visited the place but from website, they offer half day to full day programs so it is more of a child care operation right?

Please share how a typical half day program goes. We will send ds to class at around 9am only so will he miss much by starting 2hrs later?

There's another CC near it, called sunflower bambini. Any feedback on this?

dimsum,

did u visit sunflower? how the feel of teachers, sch, kids? pls feedback

[dimsum]

haha, nope, I have not visited it. Teacher turnover in CC nowadays is so high, so IMO, a visit to see see look look won’t help much. You are also looking for CC in JJK area ah?

[Joeyz18]

Dimsum

chatelaine,

think from your reviews, Montessori @Graceland, Fee $665 - Visited 2x seems to be a better choice. are you enrolling your kid there?

[chatelaine]

Hi Joeyz18


Yes, I'm thinking of enrolling both my child there.

In fact, I nearly enrolled both my child at Little Montessori @Hillview.
I went down last Sat, Principal never turned up! Hence, make me consider twice about enrolling there.

Initially, I were already hesitating due to the \"home environment\" :roll:

How about you? Found any childcare?

[Joeyz18]
