Mummies staying at Fernvale
- Thread starter doreamon
- Start date
Thanks ladies for the info.
I managed to get back the non-refundable deposit ($100) from CAMBRIDGE. The ppl there are nice and professional, too bad, they are out of my budget.
$580 - $150 = $430. I know Cambridge Hougang is $730 for full day, so after subsidy it's also $430. I was hoping to find a place that is around $300-400 range. Kinderland is offering $1,116/term for 3 hrs daily program or $850 for full day b4 subsidy. BTW, where is Seng Kang Methodist?

Tigress,
SengKang Methodist is at Anchorvale. Oh.. was chatting with Adil.. she said ur boy din cry at all and adjusted very well... was sharing toys and playing wif others.
Another kindergarten to consider is St Anne's Church Kindy (nearer to Rivervale side)... but it's further than Sengkang Methodist. But both kindys shd have sch buses. Fr wat I understand.. mthly fees for church kindys are in the range of ard $250.

Crayonmum,
I spoke with Adil just now, surprisingly my boy behaved very well in the class. My boy is a little monster at home, when he is angry, he will knock his head on the wall. He alway has the habit of slapping ppl's face. I actually told Adil to be cautious in case he bully other children. But Adil said Jowen is a good boy. I'm going to school with him next Tues, will you be there? Did you see my son today?
I have shortlisted a few centres, is it too early to make inquires now? I called Treasurebox today, the lady on the line keep saying "Full OLidy, full OLidy (in broken English), it really makes me wonder if it's worth my effort to go down & have a look. Anyway, treasurebox full day is $780.00, if I hear her correctly.
Seng Kang Methodist charges $190/mth which I find it very affordable. I wonder if Yio Chu Kang Chapel offers N1 classes, I could not locate their website.

Tigress,
I shd be at kindertots on tues.... but provided i send Ian to sch on time.. then we may have the chance to bump into each other.
we are 80% of the time late.. reaching sch abt 10.45am.. hehhe...
din get to see Jowen today... coz we were late again..
Jowen sounds like Ian when Ian was younger.. will bang head on wall, table, floor when angry and doesn't like to share and interact... but it's a passing phase... dun worry.. ian has outgrown the head-banging..
I also warned Adil last time.. and till now.. Ian hasn't thrown a tantrum in sch... amazing..
oh.. this is the website of YCK chapel kindy.. http://www.yckckindergarten.com/
i was considering YCK chapel too.. but i read online (either in this forum or somewhere) that the curriculum is not very academic focused... but I've not visited the sch myself ..
no lah.. definitely not early to make enquiries.. lotsa popular schs are already full... if i'm not wrong.. PCF starts their registration in May... it's April now.. definitely not too early.

Hi mummies,
May I know where do you buy ngoh he(threadfin) from? I order from the veggie stall at 403 behind the provision shop, but the fish is not very fresh.
Has anyone bought from the Jln Selaseh provision shop or Fernvale Point before? Or do you buy from nearby neighbourhood wet market?

Hi Carmen,
My boy is big, he has been wearing XL since 12mths old, he has big tummy. He is already at 14kg now. I'm at 406B, let me know what time would be convenient to pick up from you and which blk r u at?
My colleague told me her daughter was toilet trained at 1yr old, that makes me worried. I tried to toilet train my boy, but he always tell me after he pee. I called Yio Chu Kang Chapel on their pre-nursery class, the lady told me minimum age requirement is 2.5yrs old and MUST BE toilet trained!

Carmen22,
How do you know when they can stop wearing diapers during naptime? My gal still wear diaper during daytime nap. As for my boy, still don't dare to walk at 19mths, only walk when I hold his hands. So not so easy to toilet train him yet.
I want to know how you cope with 2 kids? Are you able to cook for yrself or just for yr kids? I find problem coping esp now my gal is studying in Fernvale PCF. I really admire u able to cope with 2 kids going to school.

PingPing,
Juz hv to try for the 1st time...
there bound 2b wettg of bed initially...
As during the days they dun wear diaper, so roughly i noe their intervals aft a while...
And their nap time is betwn 1-3hr..so usu b4 they nap, i wl ask them to wee 1st...
and of cos, whn the 1st few times whn they wokeup fr nap w/o wettg their bed, wl praise n encourage them...hehee..
for my gal, i act told her dat all her frens r nt wearg diaper anymore, so u shd learn to do likewise...sumhw it seems to work...tho m nt sure isit advisable to do so...
oh, probably u may wana try put ur boy's fav toy in front of u, and "entice" him to walk by himself towards u...? mayb for a start, nt too far a distance, say 3-4 steps away...? keep on tryin, aft a while, he'll get the hang of walkg and wl start to roam arnd himself...
usually aft i send my gal to sch, i wl rush bac to cook for them...i oni cook for my kids...i wl cook their 2 meals 2gther (lunch n dinner). wl leave the porridge in thermal pot to keep it warm..so, e'rytin hv 2b "chop chop"....all wl b cooked n done wif within 1hr....!! den wl hv to rush to pick my gal..
As for myself, i wl wait for hb 2b hme den we head out for our dinner..my kids wud hv taken their meals b4 my hb is bac...(ie, arnd 4.30-4.45pm)
So, u cn imagine, whn we r out for our dinner, our kids wl sit there n watch us eat..hahaaa
alot pple who dun noe, tot dat we r "starving" our kids...hahaaa
esp my gal who wl make noise n cry cos she wana "share" our food evn tho she alredi taken her dinner at hme!! dats hw big eater my gal is!!

Hi Carmen,
I try to let my boy wear diaper only when he sleep or during outings. Most of the time, I let him wear training pants at home, but he always pee in the pants
Crayonmum,
You know what? My boy settled down in Kindertots with little effort, by 2nd session, we already left him there alone. Now, my boy refuses to go home, he wants to stay at Kindertots, my maid has to drag him home.

Tigeress,
I heard from many mummies that boys might be slower in toilet training. My gal is toilet trained since 23mths but my boy's still not showing any signs of readiness yet. He can sit on the toilet bowl for 10-15mins and nothing come out.
Carmen,
would have gotten the diapers from you if I'm still at Fernvale.
My boy had been wearing Huggies XL since 15mths old too, fat butt, haha!

Pingping,
you are a SAHM with 2 kids also? How old are your kids? *sorry, if I miss that earlier on*
I also find it difficult to cook with the kids around. My kids are in CC so usually I'll cook everything for them and for ourselves before picking them. I'll usually just cook for them on weekends when they are not in school then will eat out for ourselves, easier.

tigress,
my boy oni wears underwear (din get any traing pant)durin the day...
whn ur boy wakes up fr his nap, is his diaper v wet?? or juz mayb 1 or 2 pee??
if its v wet, mayb he's stl nt ready...if its juz 1 or 2 pee, u cn start to do w/o diaper during nap...if u r worrid dat he may wet his bed, put waterproof cover underneath bedsht, so evn bedsht is wet, u cn wash it...bt it wl nt wet the mattress...
For me, i din buy waterproof cover, initially i used those rubber mat dat they used to use it whn they were a baby...to put in betwn bedsht n mattress...or alternatively u cn use afew diaper cloth to lay in betwn (to cut cost)....try it out on them for few days/evn a wk...
irin,
oh yes, i find dat Huggies is gd n px quite alrite..in fact i prefer Huggies den Pampers...For Pull-ups, Mamy Poko is well recommended..
Hw r u doin at ur new place?
we were so tempted to sell our flat esp nwadys c alot property agents arnd our area...
and saw the newly launched The Peak was so attractive!! any1 went to the shwrm? my neighbor went n shwd me the catalogue...v pricey tho....

Hi Irin,
Yes, I am a SAHM with 2 kids, gal coming to 4 r this Aug, and boy coming to 2 in Sept. I find it difficult to cook for myself with 2 kids, can manage to cook for them only. When I had my gal only, I can cook lunch for myself. Prefer home cooked food, though not as tasty as outside food but healthier.
You hv twins, right? How old are they? Is MP pull up cheaper than Nepia pull up? I hv been using Nepia for a long time, hv not tried out other brands.

Pingping,
ya, I have a pair of 2yrs old twins.
Usually if I'm the only one at home with them, I'll cook for all 3 of us, 1 soup, 1 meat/vege and rice then that's it.
But if hb around then got to cook more dishes, he's a fussy eater. I don't like outside food too so I'll cook from Mon-Fri then weekends sometimes depends.
MP pull ups per piece is about 3cts more ex than Nepia. I've tried Nepia before too and I think MP is much better in terms of material and absorbency.
