funny76 neogarden catering is good but slightly towards to high range.. i used that for charlene full month baby shower and got lots of good comments
Mummies who intend to send ur kids to school after 18th months.. can i check have u have any good schools to recommend? It seems like 18th months only childcare is availalbe for them right.. no classes or playgroup for like 3/4 hours for them to attend right? can share with me .. thanks alot!

childcare: yah full day is normally slightly cheaper than half day one. so im opting for full day for more flexibility since my mum also "bu she de" to leave him there for long but at least full day she can arrange like 10+ then send him there then maybe ard 2 will fetch him back instead of the rigid 8am - 12noon timing for half day...
should be considering cherie hearts at east side since got to be near my mum place..
i heard that learning vision is good too but their locations not near my mum.. and quite expensive too. hee.

Prinzton: where did u buy those scarf hat for your bag, sorry can't remember what's the term called. Very cute leh...
hi prinzton, is ur mum staying at amk ave 4 blk 600 plus?
the salvation army childcare centre is under my mum's blk too...so did we used to b neighbours? hee
tks for ur info on the childcare. i may consider putting chloe there when she reaches 18mths too cos i tink it's better to expose her to more frens and she can learn more stuff at childcare instead of always at home alone with my mum..then my mum can pick her up if we cannot mk it in time at 7pm. other alternative is to find childcare in pasir ris area but i nid to rush to n fro before n after work.

hi mummies,
i am now actually contemplating in placing sarah in childcare when she reaches 18-24 months. But she has to have to successfully wean off from my breasts first. ALthough, i would love to still be a sahm till she reaches P1 or so, I think she will definitely fare better developing in an environment with children her age group. Pros and cons, I will for sure miss her cos, been inseparable from her since birth. But its for the better.
Ecookie,
I am also thinking of Cherie hearts! hehe. tot of placing her in the Infineon building but a bit difficult to travel there via bus. =( I considered Kinderland cos there's one at Toa payoh safra (near my place) and another in marine parade (mum's place) but heard they are too commercialised and thus well-being of the kids is not really their utmost priority. Dunno how true. Any one can recommend any childcare which is worth considering around Whampoa/Toa Payoh Central??

You mean that if we signed up for full day, the timing to start and end is flexible for parents? Isn't that going to be chaotic for the centre and they will lost track of headcounts??
Anyone know good childcare at Hougang? I think we need to start booking right?

kids are well spoken and ang mo and indian kids also learn chinese.
rather impressed. They learn thou toys and they have certain toys to play each day (preplanned) ...
oh yeah, can mummies share with me reviews or comments abt fullday childcare? I saw the YWCA at my mum's void deck ~ don't quite like the way the teachers treat the kids. Like animals..=(
I remembered once when i walked past and peeked in thru the window. It was napping time i think cos, many are lying on the small mattresses. All were very quiet but most eyes were open. at the other end, one lady was telling a boy abt 2 years of age to move so there will be space for another boy to lie down. The 2yr old was drinking milk from bottle and this lady just grabbed one of his arms (he was lying down) to pull him up and moved the other boy (also by the arm) to place him on the mattress. I was shocked!! I think pple handle pets are more gentle and she had this mad look on her face.
The lady then realised she was being stared at (by me) and then immediately her expression changed to relax look and toned down her voice.
This was the strong deterrent which made me think twice in placing sarah in infantcare. IN front of parents they can be super nice and concern, but behind our backs, they ill-treat our kids...

low: yah pat school is ex but i like their curriculum but too bad the location too far from my mum's place at the east side...
learning vision is good and not cheap too . think after subsidy ard 800+ for full day? but its also one of my preferred choice but the nearest to east side still far from my mum's place. *sigh* hence cherie hearts seem to be the answer since its only 5-10mins walk from my mum's place
havent go recce but i think the waiting list may be long... oops. better book an appt soon..

ecookie,
you know how much cherie hearts fee is?
oh and if we place kids in waiting list, by when can they revert back to us? and do we have to pay one month's advanced fee in doing so??
I tot, I can look for a job and when the time comes look for childcare. But if waiting list involved this plan would be abit tricky for me lei..

justme: from what i remember from what cherie hearts pple told me.. (i was supposed to go for orientation tour but too lazy n kept on postponing till they never call me up liao..
), if interested need to pay 1 mth deposit. if no waiting list, then u 've secured a place.. if not im also not v sure... u may want to call n check with ur branch for more specific details?
i think ard $600+ after subsidy for my side..
