One can look into PCF Sparkletots.

True. But please male sure you protect babies eyes well and don’t go out during noon, etc. Choose 8am kind of sun.

You should try to buy milk from New Zealand, not Europe where acid rain is an issue. For this reason, we use Mamex.

We found Mamy Poko worked best for our girl.

Wow, thanks! Didn’t know about the phone usage app! Will get my child to download it.

Hihi, I need some advise. My son is in a childcare now and I was thinking to switch him to half day kindergarten. Any advise if here's any difference in learning (in terms of hrs spent in school will be reduced by half) and if anyone has reviews on 414 Hougang PCF?

The kindergarten did a fair job of preparing my daughter for P1. Not much homework given, which I think is fine.. However, when it came to Chinese, they did a poor job. My daughter has a lot of catching up to do. Also in penmanship. Other kindergartens do a better job there, it appears.

Looks like students performed poorly in 2016. Hope it’s not a downward trend. May want to send my girl there in future, depending on her results.

That's an encouraging view of the school, TAT. Any idea when is the open house for SJI this year? I've checked their website but haven't seen the date yet.

Sorry...I can't seem to find that info either. Bear in mind that even if you miss out on the Open House, there's an information talk after your child receives his PSLE results. That's the only one we attended.

The only thing I didn't like about the school is the limited CCAs on offer. They believe in preparing the boys for the army so there's not much focus on softer, Arts-based CCAs, which my boy would have loved. He ended up choosing a sports CCA even though he doesn't like sports. LOL

This is not really free but brings us much joy throughout the year. We buy the family cable car pass for about $120 per year per family. And we visit Sentosa a lot via cable car which also allows us to use the cable cars on the island itself. There are lots of free things to do on Sentosa. The beaches are our favourite.
