Hi fatmtb,
I didnt go to the computer rm to take a look, so not sure whether the monitors are LCD type or traditional type.
Hi Janey,
My girl has started attending the lesson liao. So far so good. I think the teachers are very good, almost all the children stop crying after the 2nd weeks of school. My girl stops crying after the 1 wk so I suppose she is coping well.
The first 3 days when I was there, the teacher didn't teach them much. They only teach them how to eat, sit and how to hold the bottle properly. But I think it good, cos they afraid the children might hurt themselves so teach them the proper way of eating, sitting, etc.
By the way, my gal is in Grace class under Mrs Hutchinson.

hi all,
Received a letter from the school a few weeks ago that say there will be Chinese New Year celebration on 5 Feb. The kids are strongly encourage to wear their new year clothes. what does it mean? Everyone must wear? Don't want my son to feel left out.
He is in the nursery class first year. Thanks in advance.

If your girl is turning 3 this year that means she is born in 2005. For those born in 2005 registration started last year. My girl is born in 2005 June and she started pre-nursery this year. We registered her somewhere in July last year.
I think they go by the year you are born irregardless of whether you have touch 3 yrs of age. And if I am not wrong registration start earliest June for some schools. But every school is different. Got to look out for the banner all call the school to ask.
For me, I want to know the school fees to make a comparison. But so far no one can advise yet.

hi Dearie_e,
I am so happy to hear that the teachers are good!!! Thank you thank you!!! I am prettty worried about the feeding actually, cos' my kid does not self feed well at all..
Do we need to bring our own water bottle?
Btw, i think there is only one pre-nursery class right? so Mrs Hutchinson is a english teacher?
hi JkCY,
my girl has to be 30mth and above, 2.5years old to join the Pre-N class. The principal told me to come after March holiday
You can call to check the vacancy.

Just curious, do you mummies mind abt the obituary room at Nativity that is on the side entrance of the school? I know that the school bus will bypass it.
I want to send my daughter to Nativity but it will be an issue to convince my hb and mil on that.

Hi, I'm thinking to send my 05 boy to Nursery in Nativity, Catholic Kindergarten at Kovan or Kinderland Serangoon in 09 Jan.
Visited all three, Kinderland is of course much newer and full air-con. Both Catholic and Nativity are very old and non air-con. and for the fees, Nativity and Catholic are charing rather cheap less than $500/term where Kinderland is charging abt $1200/term.
Wondering if teachers/principal in Nativity speak proper/good english (where no singlish AT ALL)?

Hi! Little Precious
I agree that the building is old and non air-con but I do not think that the place is hot & stuffy as they have ceilings fans installed hence is pretty cooling. My son speaks pretty well after attending Nativity and he's always looking forward to sch so guess he's enjoying the company of his classmates & his teachers which is Mrs Hutchison & Chen "Lao Shi'
(Mrs Chen).
Well..I guess appearance of the sch is not important at all as long as you know that your child is comfortable and is learning well there. And his form teacher is always willing to share his progress with me whenever i call to enquire.
Hope this helps.

Little Precious,
My boy is in Pre-N and he's not able to read on his own yet but he loves to pick up books and do his own "reading" and yes, both his English & Chinese teachers do speaks proper language.
e class strength is abt 15 if I do remember correctly.

hi residentevil,
Same here! My kid is in Mrs Hutchinson class, i think the chinese teacher is quite good, is her surname "Mrs Ng" and one more assistance, also quite kind but i didn't catch her surname, she worn specs.
But i find my kid is not drinking enough water, not sure if the teachers are monitoring their water intake and making sure they drink enough? i find the water level is almost the same when i check it back home.
Do you call up and talk to Mrs Hutchinson? I also feel like calling up and chat on my kid progress, just to make sure everything is ok since i don't go there myself.
My kid is also taking school bus!
Are you taking Mrs Peh yellow bus to go?

Hi Hi Janey,
yea..i agree on the water issue..e h2o level doesn't drop much everytime aft he returns home. Guess e teachers doesn't want e kids to frequent e washroom too often bah...
Yes, he takes Mrs Peh's bus..I've called Mrs Hutchinson twice so far..and she's happy that parents actually call to check on their child's progess so I guess you can just give her a ring soon..Do you happen to know abt e Meet the parent session in May? Guess from there, we'll have a much better understanding on our child's progress & development..
