Hello everyone!




I am seeking a pre-school in Sengkang for my 2 year old son. He is currently in Hamilton but the school is closing down. So I have to find him an ideal school soon.



What is an ideal school?

* One that let kids be kids -- that means to let them play. Ideally, I hope learning can be adapted through play.
* Nurturing teachers. We teach our kid without beating or shouting (AKA traditional asian discipline), and it has worked very well for us.
* (Good to have) -- A wide open place for outdoor fun!



Constraints:

* School fees are not a problem. If something is good and expensive, I will take it.
* I will prefer for it to be in Sengkang area. If not, the surrounding areas such as Hougang/Buangkok/Kovan will suffice.



Some selections that we have looked at and passed on:

* MMI at Compassvale cannot make it. The concept of MMI is not good enough to make up for the poorer quality of teachers there.
* Kinderland/Mindchamps - Too focused on academia.
* Agape / My First Skool / Neighbourhood pre-schools -- the quality of teachers are a hit and a miss. Frequency of cases of HFMD is significant. Also, too focused on academia (prepping kid for P1)



Does anyone have opinions on:

* Little Footprints - I am open to this but their main outlet is full, if I'm not wrong.
* Maplebear - There is a new one opening near Hamilton but it's based out of a large landed property. I am not sure if it is big enough.
* Or please recommend me one!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
