Jenn,
I enquired abt it but havent start Lucas in CC. I asked regarding their daily routine which I'm abit worrying for Lucas. 8.30am-b/f, 11.30am-lunch, 3.30pm-teabreak and 12pm-nap only. But Lucas nap like twice a day at 11am and 4pm .. dunnoe how to change his routine nw and his meal timing all also gotta change already.
re:maid
I mentioned before THIS YR REALLY HAVING BAD LUCK. We saw the maid vomit blood at home on Saturday noon. Called the agency that we want to send the maid to her immediately. The agent say bring her to see doc if she is still fit for work cos the agency wld then know how to deal with her. Hb brought maid (w luggage along as we intend send her to agency) to polyclinic and doc told off hb saying the maid cld be having internal bleeding (due to her gastric problem) and wanted to call for ambulance already. Hb called agency on the spot and spoke to the maid. Then maid told doc she doesnt wan to go hospital and signed a consent. Hb meet agent at airport who have juz bought air tix and send her back immediately on Saturday afternoon. FOr this case, at least we insisted not bring the maid to hospital and spend a bomb!

peanut,
We have empty shoe shelves outside the door and we place a blue pail at the top shelf and instruct the tingkat co to place the tingkat inside the blue pail on the top shelf and they always do it. Else I ever thought of using simple digital keypad lock. Pple steal food nvm .. only worry bypassers add ingredients inside.

Toking about MMI, I think there's one more opening at North Star... (Hougang / Yio Chu Kang Rd)
Alibaba,
Yes. Heard of MMI before. Even went to see some centres but I'm not so keen. Some centres claim to be montessori but in fact, they are half montessori and half normal CC. Yet they are charging full montessori fees. Sssooo ex and totally not worth it.
For actual montessori, they concentrate more on the individual child doing things by themselves - example they will be given their own puzzle or task. Then the child will sit in their own corner and do it alone. I dun like this method. I prefer my child to do things in a group. That's why I send her to CC... to socialise and interact and play with her peers.
This is my own opinions hor. I know of some mommies who like montessori cos it teaches the child independance. Which is good... I like that too. But I dun like the 'doing things alone' part. You will need to visit the centres and assess your childs needs and what you want. HTH's..

Alibaba,
Yes. Always best to visit a few schools then narrow doen your preferences. So far I seen a few CC's and I like the curriculum for Kinderland. Quite holistic - equal amounts of classroom activities, outdoor time and excursions (she's been to cngi airport, science centre, kids kamoung to name a few). Most importantly, the teachers are good, and the centre is very well maintained.
I super scared of those CC's wher the toilet is always wet and worse got slime and algae. Eeks! Then got some CC's where I spring visits and could hear either the principal or teachers shouting. *faintz*
When checking out CC's, I will first go down unannounced. Check out the CC's from outside and see the students expressions. If ok, then will make appointment to view the centre formally.

ya..i think for my side..abit dangerous to leave the tingkat infront of my doorstep..we happened to stay at the highest floor..hence it's rather obivious if there's anything lying infront of our gate or even placing on top of the shoe rack can unintentionally invite ants for a free meal..hehe..but gd idea la..can explore ah..haha..collect my son & the food..hehe..
ali..
glad to hear that all is well for ur 2nd pregnancy..at least can get to enjoy the moment now before u start to get busy soon..yes, i think T will be more sticky to you..coz he's surely aware that he's growing up to be gorgor le..oh, i thot u found the CC to send T over le..better try to find time to get it sorted out soon..wah..seems like it's tough making decisions ah..u shd also consider the timetable, course structure and other stuff like if u happen to be late etc..will they penalised u etc..diff branches work slightly differently hence the usual "ok" ones may not set in well depending on the teachers too..got to go down & chk out the environment too..observe them i feel..trial run..
meet-ups..
can i also join in..althou it's rather challenging to plan my leave but i do want to try to make it happen..hehe..
