need help ... what is the operating hours for learning bliss? (i.e., latest pick up time)
on normal school days, the kids go to learning bliss at 1:30pm right after school dismissal. the latest pick up time is 7pm. on school holidays, if I'm not wrong, the operating hours are from 7am - 7pm. -

Refer to http://www.onemap.sg
It should be under Holland-Bukit Timah GRC.
I think it is by GRC, not division. But you might want to confirm with PA. -
RE: All About Active Community Leaders
Thus the other new rule introduced in 2014 - \"In the new scheme, parents will have to be grassroots leaders for at least two years to get the benefit, double the time now. They will also get priority only in schools in the constituencies where they live, rather than in two areas now - where they live, and where they choose to serve.\"

anyone of you sending kids to happy train at bugis? any comment?
my gal attended shichida from 10mo to 2.5yo. probably b'cos i did not do home practice with her, her memory is poor / far from my expectation. not wanting to give up totally, i switched her to happy train @ bugis. she has been there for a month and these are some of my opinions with regards to the 2 schools:
1) shichida was conducted in a more formal way. shichida teachers were more serious in class and they started/ended each class on time, whereas happy train teachers are more lively and flexible.
2) shichida admins could be quite unfriendly whereas happy train admins are the teachers themselves and they remember each student by name.
3) every shichida class was conducted in english with a bit of foreign languages incorporated into the lesson, whereas happy train conducts its classes in pure english, mandarin or japanese (one each week; this is one of the reasons why i switch to happy train)
4) happy train is almost 50% cheaper than shichida.
5) shichida's definitely more high tech - it's using macbook with lcd projection whereas happy train is still using cd player
6) as for the content, happy train doesn't have linking memory, phonics, abacus and speed reading. i'm still trying to think what activies happy train has that shichida didn't. otherwise the rest of the activities like flash cards, photo memory, flash memory, finger training, etc... are similar. -

is there any minimum age for foundation class? is 2y8m too young for it? i was told by tiong bahru branch the minimum age to start is 3-3.5yo and must be toilet trained but was not told by the other branches. any comments on thomson branch?
If your child been to classroom environment before and toilet trained , is okie to enrol in. Basically they want to make sure the child is 'mature enough'. If not toilet trained, can actually wear diapers. Is an enrichment centre not childcare/playgroup so dun expect them to change diapers for you. -

RE: Pat's Schoolhouse
Anyone knows how long is the notice period needed to withdraw? One month or two? I am thinking to give up my gal’s placing for next Jan. The admin lady told me I might have my first month’s fee forfeited, besides the registration fee. The problem is the principal is not around and she can’t confirm. If I wait until the principal is back, it will be less than a month from Jan.
