Hi chocolate chip


For N2, there are 2 classes & I think the total no. of N2 kids is about 30.
They do quite a fair bit of activities outdoor within the day, so I’m not so concerned about the indoor class size, though compared to other ctrs we saw, it is smaller.
Also, about half of the kids leave after lunch because they’re on half day.
I noticed my boy will move beyond his class for activities after lunch & nap time.

There are 4 teachers per class so I think the teacher-child ratio is still pretty OK.

Thanks for the info! From the looks of it, we’ll have to leave it to balloting @ Phase 2C.

Hi hi


I did end up enrolling my boy in Shaws @ BH & he's in N2 now. My boy absolutely love sch. I like how they keep parents updated on what the kids do in sch from the updates we get on the sch portal, personal messages about your child on the updates & of course, photos of your kid in action. Have to admit it was not my 1st choice sch but in the end picked it due to proximity since our 1st choice is pretty far.

Hi there


I only chanced upon reading on becoming active community leader here after my application for PV was rejected (overwhelming response for the sch) & am desperate enough to look for ways to help my boy enrol in the sch of choice.

After the many many threads, I'm a bit confused so hoping someone can enlighten me on these:

1. If my boy is due for P1 reg in 2013 for the 2014 P1 batch (he's a 2007 baby), is it too late to apply to RC? :scared: - read about the min. term as EM is 1 yr to qualify for phase 2B but am concerned about the application & observation period to join RC.

2. To sign up for RC, do I have to fill up the online nomination form or do I go straight to the nearest CC?
Should I say that I'm there to volunteer or I want to join RC (is there a difference)?

3. Can we call the RC ahead to check whether there are still vacancies for EM positions & the no. of observers they have currently?

My 3.5yo boy doesn't like chewables. Only gummies or liquid form for him.

I'm not giving gummies as he might mistaken as sweets and OD on them.

Which liquid multivit is your son taking?
Maybe I can give it a try too.

Hey there.

Thanks for replying.
Think hubby & I are looking for something that’s fun yet will also teach him soccer skills.
If they’ve got a trial lesson, we may just sign up & see how it goes.

Can we feed 1yr old with multi-vitamins?

You can check with your PD or read the label (they'll put their age recommendation normally).
I started my son on Scotts Emulsion 1st before multivtamins.

On a different note, I'm having trouble getting him to chew his multivitamins.
Don't quite like the syrup kind (find some of the brands a bit dodgy because have never heard of them).
Currently, my mom will crush the chewable & add to the emulsion that he happily downs (despite the fishy smell... yuck) - I kind of outsoure feeding supplements to my son to my mom.
It's really a wonder that she can get him to happily swallow the emulsion!
But, it's a real chore to crush the multivits all the time.
Any pointers on how you get your kids to chew them?

My son is currently eating the one that has a strawberry taste (his favourite flavour) & it tastes good, I tried it.

Hi everyone


Not too sure if many send their kids to soccer schs because can't seem to find any substantial posts about it.
I'm pursuing recommendation from my son's teacher that he should channel his energy (boisterous & loud in class) to outdoor sports & since he's into soccer, I'm doing my homework to see which soccer schs to send him to.
My boy is a preschooler.

Currently, I'm looking at these which I found from Google search:

Any reviews from those who've sent their kids to soccer at these places?

Just learnt from the PV thread that some schs allow both parents to combine hrs while others restrict it to only 1 parent clocking the PV hrs.

Anybody know what’s the case for Rosyth?

BTW, to answer the earlier post, don’t think they’re shifting premises anytime soon.
They seem to be just cutting intake by 1 class (30 kids) a year.

This may be a dummy question but I’m going to ask anyway, do both parents get to volunteer as PV under 1 application or just one?
