hi elch - i think that teacher is not trained to handle special children. if i were his mother i will feel v sad.. cos in spore special schools are too full and private sessions are too exp.
instd of full day cc, is there half day schools so ur mum not so siong just watch dylan for half day? i heard mind champs is good.. till 3pm only though.

Elch,
I suppose its a neighbouringhood cc? sigh..mayb "brand and fees" does play a part..While at the cc, i also see the teachers kept screaming at the kids at other group..the playgroup is really big! i think mayb 18-20 kids, there are 1 main teacher and 3 assts..the main one just engaged to the ones whose interested to participate..the rest who doesnt want to will jus roam abt..dont knw if i shld also withdraw bryan..but seriously i dont want to place him at the one next to my blk! Bcos my mil hv always like to pop by and see him (or distract him likely!) Actually i am quite pissed with my hb last night. It's the 1st wkday that bryan is hm..he jolly well invite his mum and sis to come over at close to 9pm. The thing is he also din inform me earlier..i need to dress more approriate when there are visitors leh! Moreover, bryan needs to slp earlier than he used to during wkends cos now every morn hv to wake up earlier!! I cant imagine if they were to come over EVERYDAY! hello...where is my personal space ever since we decided to shift out??!!

Really have to consider the options available and source for a good or rather acceptable CC.
The time that they spend there could have long term "damage".
I'm so happy that LV is good. At least, acceptable for me. I see positive improvments in Marcus. Really glad i made the change.
Heard the CC at my block changed P again. Hopefully the new P is better. Else, poor kids!

everafter, where do you stay / work?
vanilla
Yeeks how can a teacher do that to a special needs student? Hmm, leaves a bad impression definitely.
Indian wear
Hmm, count me out. I don't have any and don't plan to buy any. I'll just be the ah soh that picks up after my girl.
Murdered teen at Downtown East
It's a friend's colleague's son. Sad hor. Now that I'm a mother, I can't imagine seeing my own child dead before me. I don't hope to see that day.
bag organizers
I'm no fan of them because I love the natural slouchiness of bags. I buy leathers for the slouch, man! Having said that, I love organizers and Muji is my favourite store. I went to see the bp page and love the Longchamp organizers because it allows for bottles too. I want to get a Longchamp for that alone! So convenient!

The CC is YWCA leh so I thought it should be of certain standards but sadly no. The fees are also $140 more ex than MFS!

yeah I actually meant "Pregnant" indian ladies in a sari...
what do pregnant indian ladies wear ah? extra loose punjabi suits?
I saw some REALLY HAWT indian ladies super duper slim ones wearing very bling sequined skimpy saris crossing the road towards a pub on the same row as Pu Tien near City Square mall.
everafter
yah there are pros and cons having him in childcare near your working place. unless you drive to work, the travelling for a young kid is no joke.
elch
urm, ymca/ywca is more exp than MFS? i thought should be cheaper. the ymca at my blk is really cheap. i heard $200 after subsidy! and after observing them for a while, not keen to put kate there even though it will be the MOST convenient, raining also just take lift down and go. fully sheltered.
jelly
yeah, generally pay peanuts get monkeys. but sometimes pay diamonds also get chimps. really depends on individual teachers i guess...
pildough
i LOVE min zang kuay!

oh dear... you actually know the guy's mom? heard it was a staring incident. what's with these teens?! stare then stare lor!! 唉，闹出人命。

everafter n elch,
So u want to look for another CC for ur boy?
For me, another set of worries. Tong enjoys school n the teachers there are good with children. They are more patient n console every child tat is crying by hugging the child while she continue teaching the class. Also can see that the kids like them too.
School hardware is good since it is very new. It is brightly lit n things well organised.
When Tong came back home, keep pointing to the TV n want to watch TV. I guess cause at her school, they dun watch TV. She must have missed her Barney and Mickey alot. LOL...
The food there are good, with great variety. They rotate menu every 4 weeks. So the kids onli eat the same kind of food combination after 4 weeks. But hor, except for teabreak, Tong is eating VERY little but she drinks alot of milk. Haizz... Any of ur toddler experience this recently?
Today, the P told me Tong is underweight as compared to her peers. Make me very worried. Should I bring her see a nutritionist? Am I too paranoid?

ya, i know what you mean. it's really the teachers that makes a difference. i also believe teacher student ratio is a big factor as well.

<font color="0077aa">Elch: understand your concern. C has a classmate who has Aperger syndrome, low on the austistic spectrum. It was actually the teachers who noted that she is highly sensitive to touch, noise, etc. and has some socialisation problems and the school later had some review with the mum.
The mum then brought her to a doc and she is doing MUCH better now. The mum mentioned to me before that she is highly appreciative of the support the teachers gave to her daughter and her. So, it really makes a diff as to who the teachers are as well as the student:teacher ratio.

JJmom,
It's the 'old' My First Skool at Blk 166. My neighbor's daughter is there and she's happy with it. Even if it's a long wait I still got to wait as my neighbor's mil will help to fetch Dylan to her place in case I can't reach there by 7pm. Unless there are other CCs around my area that opens till 8pm...

I give Dylan fish emulsion but not daily because I tend to forget. He loves it though.
Cheer Bear,
Where is the 2nd molar located? I never keep track of how many teeth Dylan have after the 1st 6 teeth.
You let Shawn take packet drink? Why not try freshly squeezed fruit juice?
