Thanks Double E.
Actually my son just came out from k4k after a year there.
Yes they provided mainstream curriculum but the group is too small. There were only less than 8 children in his class of which all are special needs. That's why we decided to put him in a mainstream. -

Three choice. Either morning, afternoon or full day. Full day is 9-4 but heard that they are stretching the time not sure the new timing for this year. It's exp. full day after subsidy for non working mum is $1200. They have quite a few branches but I think only the two at amk and telok kurau have mainstream curriculum.
Add: it's $1200 per month not per term though. Very 'chor'. -

Hello Nugget and mummies who are keen to know what happens during a psychological assessment for school placement, here is the information and some tips that I have gathered from ours:
The IQ assessment is divided into 3 segments - verbal, non verbal and processing skills/speed. Verbal is subdivided into general knowledge, eg. what is the color of grass (where the child is required to answer green); word knowledge, eg. what is a bicycle/train/dog (where the child is required to tell the group and then further describe the subject); critical thinking, eg. what falls from the sky and is wet.
Non-verbal relates to the child being able to perform tasks that do not need verbal communication. eg. puzzles. Processing skills relate to activities that require visual discrimination and visual motor skills (some writing is required), eg. copying, marking off identical items on worksheets etc.
The terminology above may not be the exactly the ones being used at the assessment itself, but roughly this gives a gist of what is required at the psy assessment.
The assessment took about 1 and half hours, and parents were invited into the assessment room to watch while the assessment was being conducted. But we didnt stay in the room cos my doter would be more distracted if we were around.
The above was based on our personal experience. I am not sure how much inter-psychologists variance there is.
Some other tips to consider:
1. There are both morning and afternoon appointments for the psy assessment. If your child tends to feel sleepy in the afternoons, ask for a morning appointment. Kids can perform better when they are fresh.
2. Ask for the name of the psychologist before the assessment and prep your child about going to work with ‘teacher so and so’.
3. Ask the psychologist for a break during the assessment if you think your child cannot tahan so long a session at one stretch.
Hope this helps. -

Oh I just called the ICCP centre which my son is supposed to go this Friday. So the principal said there is this two weeks trial. My son so active I am starting to wonder will he pass the trial. If the centre couldn't accept him, I'm really at a loss which Pre school he can go........
ICCP is suppose to help kids with special needs. I don't think they will throw you out. They will have ways to calm your boy down.
