Hi everyone, my son will be in P1 next year. Any CHS mummy here?

Just received the orientation/ school information and booklist for next year. Is it necessary to buy all the optional items?

Hi bluebear, welcome to CHS! Do not buy the optional items, as most likely they will not be used by the teachers in class. Perhaps you can check with the teachers during orientation before buying them. Meanwhile, enjoy and have fun at CHS!!!

Thanks firefly38 for the warm welcome. Hope to see you around this forum. I bought the school socks but I think they are too big for my boy. Yet to know who will be the form teacher.

Any idea how is the basic care in My Little Campus(Bishan)?

Do the teachers change diapers frequently and help in the toilet training of the kids?

heard Letterland phonics is tricky. is it true ?

Maybe.. I am not sure. Cos my DS learns his Phonics from I CAN READ.

I'm trying to locate a kindergarten which teaches phonics and is using LETTERLAND. Does anyone knows? :?


TIA!

Blossom Discovery Centre at Lorong Chuan, the teachers use LETTERLAND and K1 are taught phonics. HTH.

Hi all


My daugther is currently 20 months. She is presently attending half day session at My First Skool. I have decided to switch her to another centre as she doesn't like the teacher, nor the school. Furthermore, my daughter was bitten very deeply by another kid in school and I could not accept the fact that no one in the childcare centre had seen what happen. Her form teacher gave lots of excuses which were illogical and ridiculous such as
1) she claimed that my girl could have bitten herself (the bite was near to the elbow, she couldn't have possibly twisted her arm to bite herself)
2) she did not hear my girl cry at all (the bite was very deep, how would she not cry? The teacher could most probably ignore her cries.)
3) she saw the bite mark at around 9-10 am and only called me at 4pm (which she claimed was during the children's naptime but I knew the naptime ended at 3pm)
4) she said that the bite was very bad - raw and red such that they have to use ice pack to reduce the swelling but she only informed me about it at 4pm. Shouldn't this require immediate attention?

Hence, I'm searching for another childcare in Serangoon which I hope would have more passionate/caring teachers. I've shortlisted a few centres and would like to seek feedback on the following:
1) Masterpiece at Sommerville Walk
2) Rosyth Childcare Centre at Grace Park
3) Cherie Hearts Little Play House at Serangoon Garden Way
4) Little Footies Schoolhouse at Mei Hwan Drive
5) Treasure Box Child Development Centre at Parry Ave

Would greatly appreciate your feedback on these centres. I would also be glad if you could suggest other other childcare centres with caring/passionate teachers within the vicinity.

Sorry to hear about your child and yr bad experience. Have you already found a place for your child?

Blossom Discovery Centre at Lorong Chuan, is also in the Serangoon area. Have you visited this centre?

Update: Called up Catholic High to check at 2pm, total 57 applied for 2C <1km.

Wish everyone good luck!

Hi, I am new in this forum.
I went Catholic High to register this morning. At 10am, 32 within 1km had registered. Confirmed balloting will be on 5th Aug(Fri) at 2:30pm

Overheard the staff told several parents who stay more than 1km fr CH to register in another school.

Wish everyone best of luck and may you get the school of your choice.
