any more suggestions for mandarin only preschool? Julia Gabriel has a N1 mandarin playschool but it’s very very expensive.


other than nanyang kindergarten since it’s almost impossible for us to enter with their long waiting list.

Kinderland only accepts children 4yrs and above.

thanks tamarind. will check the tv schedule again


if anyone's spreeing from the dvds from dangdang.com, please let me know? i'll like to get them as well.

i just started letting my child watch okto tv programs like sesame street and barney.


i realized that there is no chinese cartoons on any mediacorp channels?! am i missing something?

my son is 14 months and we are starting JG playnest mandarin next term.


i’m also looking for alternatives for mandarin programs for this age group and i’ve only been able to find JG and Bibinogs. Mandarin ducks seem to be catered to expats.

are there any others?

i was wondering if anyone has managed to get a place at NYK from the "public" waiting list.


I understand that they have a priority system in place i.e.
1. current sibling in NYK
2. ex sibling from NYK
3. alumni/parents who were from NYK
4. some kind of ties thru chinese hui guan (?)
5. public with no ties to the school

according to the lady at the admin office, she says there is almost 0% chance of getting into NYK if i have absolutely no ties to the school. However, i am free to put my child’s name down on the public waiting list but i will need to pay $100 admin fee.

any thoughts?
