AC,
me also confused so i checked wif my mum who works in a PAP kindergarten. she advised tat pre-nursery r called toddler programmes, meant 4 children <2yrs+. if u click on Kinderland Childcare, Academy & Kindergarten, it says the same thing.

Yrs ago, b4 there's such thing as N1, N2, it was always juz Nursery, Kindergarten Yr 1 & 2 for the tods b4 they head 2 Primary School. In recent yrs, with so many programmes for tods bet 2-3yrs, there's the "new" (no longer new lah) phase called N1, N2. Any other programmes b4 N1 is called Pre Nursery or Toddler Programme.
Education centres who are still following the "old school" will use pre-nursery, meaning it's meant 4 kids <3yrs old (cos only when ur tod is 4yrs old then u go 2 nursery)
I use gabe as example...next yr he's going 2 a 3hrs playgroup (i dun tik e educational centre i'm sending him to calls it N1). If he goes 2 a childcare centre or somewhere like Kinderland, it's considered tat he's in N1. In Jan 2008 (even though gabe not 4yrs old yet), he's going to N2. In Jan 2009 & 2010, he's going 2 K1 & K2. When 2008 draws near, i'll look 4 something else 4 gabe, either PAP, Kinderland or some other schools for his N2, K1 & K2 programme.
as 4 appletree, i dun tik e company labels its toddler classes as N1. my GF whose daughter attended AppleTree when she was 3yrs old (she only turned 3 in Nov05 but she started attending in Jan05), is now attending N2 at SengKang Methodist Church and will continue wif the kindergarten classes there.
for u, mayb dun bother abt wat justin is attending (n1, n2, toddler class, etc) now. juz look 4 a proper school, check out e school, teachers & curriculum & let justin enjoy himself there.

so i guess to punish them by returning their act is not too good as its pretty confusing for them. of cos at times i very very tired or when i am sick or so, i really feel im gonna hit him at tat moment but luckily i always remind myself.even hubby says i SPOILT him by doing tat but again, i remind him wats the objective behind it, i even tell my sil my objective and hoping they can understanding. but no matter wat others think, i am sticking to my rules. its very difficult to get pp ard u to fully SUPPORT ur act but just stick to wat u think is rite.
