Hi Mummies,


Any comments on Bethesda (depot walk) kindergarten, Capstone kindergarten and Chinese kindergarten?

My 3YO girl is currently in half day CC, i think a kindergarten will benefit her more. So far, I only know these 3 kindergarten.

How about MMI bukit merah?

Hi, my 3YO son is now in Capstone Kindergarten Pre-Nursery class. I enrolled him to a Kindergarten also thinking that it will benefit him more. Though he is only there since Jan this year, I can see that he actually can learn things in school as he hums the songs at home that he learnt from school. Also, his speech has improved much too. I liked their curriculums and it’s a 3hrs class for them which from Nursery onwards will be 4hrs. They will also assess the child’s development every Term and send you a report on how is your child doing.

Hi, capstone has school bus services?

my DD is 3YO this year, she is currently in half day CC. I don't want to change school for her in later stage, so trying to find a suitable one and let her finish her N2, K1 and K2 there. And DS can follow suit


I am FTWM but my mum is helping me to look after my kids. I have a maid too to help out too.

I think for N1 class, the ratio is about so. They follow MCYS standard.

It is very tiring. I am still indecisive whether to go for CCC or kindy. I have confirmed a place for my kids with bethesda kindy, the teacher / administrator / principal is a very nice lady and the children look happy too but I din hear much comments on this kindy, so now I don’t know I should stick to it or find new kindy.

One main concern is that PCF kindergarten is conducting 4hr lesson now, but most kindy are still having 3hr class (N1, N2, K1 AND K2). So far, only capstone is 4hr class and KPRBC has 4hr class for K2. I wonder that 1hr shortage will have any impact for them.

do you ask about the enrichment classes Chinese kindy is offering?

The last time when I checked was $650. That was 2 yr ago. the class is from 9am to 3.30pm. Alot of jap kids.


I am also worried if they prepare the children for Pri 1.

Shandee, try capstone or kay poh road baptist kindy.

Have you visited Chinese kindy? I called up before, the princpal sound very friendly and nice, but yet visit the kindy.

monmon31,


do you send your DS to enrichment class? are they more learn thru playing or academic base? do they prepare the kids well for Pri 1?

My impressive to eager beaver is good,better than nuturestars. I prefer academical type but I think most CCC at these area are learn thru playing. End up I place my dd in Bethesda kindy. Top up with enrichment classes over the weekend.
