I have decided to come out of my lurking to distribute some stress to the July parents about registering our children next year for 2010 Nursery!!!
Man, these 2 wks are crazy as hubby & I have been going for every sch that we are interested in to find out more. Even though I am not a Catholic, I have also been calling the few churches around my area to find out about costs and their programme. As long as they have good programmes, I dont mind actually. So far this is what I have gathered about registration dates. If I know more, I shall share
Oh btw, those who are interested in Marymount Kindergarten (mid-top range branded kindergarten), registration for Catholics was already closed last weekend. I got the info from my friend whose son is there.
