I think that old wives tales shouldn't bother us unless there's a logical rationale behind them. I didn't do anything differently when I was pregnant with my first. Now that I'm pregnant with my second, it's the same. I've used scissors, razor blades, pen knives, knives, drills etc. I suppose...

Hi, I relocated to Singapore less than a year ago (from Thailand) and am now looking for domestic helper as I'm expecting a 2nd child in January. Reading everyone's experiences with their maids is giving me anxiety attacks over employing Indo/Fili maids. Some friends tell me it's better to...

Hi all, was reading this thread as I was planning to get a maid soon...but some of your stories have horrified me! I've had my own far share of poor performers and weirdos, but it seems like the worst is yet to come! *_*

Btw there is a Brighton Montessorri that's round the corner at River Valley. It was highly recommended to me by a friend. I went there and found it ok, but hey had a long waitlist and I wasn't willing to wait. (what's up with the waitlists here in Singapore?!)

3rascals - sorry, i don't come here often. We pay about $1100 or $1200 a month for the extended program. (Have not been asked to pay for anything extra since. No donations or books or anything yet...) Not all the branches charge this - d/o location. Full-day is only a bit more.

Hi everyone, I'm new! My son was born on 9 Sep 2005. Was a lecturer in gemology before but had to give it up early last year as I couldn't find dependable help. Am now a SAHM staying at Tiong Bahru.

BTW - regarding the 8-12.30 timing for Pat's: The official programme only starts at 9am. What they mean is - you can drop off from 8am. They get a small breakfast and are settled off into activities until the rest of their class arrives.

Ahh, 3 is a good year to start. I think their fees are different depending on their centre. However, they shouldn't vary too much... I don't have the fees for my son's branch. Misplaced it. But I have info on the branch at Mount Emily - Pre-school half day am 8am to 12.30pm $856 per month...

We ended up at Pat's Schoolhouse. They have a half day program that's about 3 hours plus 8.30-12ish. We took the extended so my child can nap first and then go home (until about 3pm). The full day is up to 5-7 I think. Been with Pat's only a month, but we're VERY happy with them. The...

You can skip Eton House Outram even if the fees are low. We left after 2 terms as it was not up to standard. Our child's teacher was always on MC and couldn't engage with the kids. Turnover in the class was also very high. I've gone to LittleSkoolhouse. Aside from the parking problem (the...

I've heard good things about Cherie Hearts, but through experience i've learnt that it all boils down to your luck! Even if the center is well-known or comes recommended, it ultimatey depends on the "local dynamics". Near Tiong Bahru Plaza, there's also Moral Home at Jalan Membina. And Eton...
