Kash,
Preparatory P1 classes (aka K2) is very very important! Becos in P1, the teachers dun bother to teach things like alphabets and simple maths. In fact, the child is already required to be able to read a simple book and understand the basics of all English, Maths and Chinese.
English - be able to write compositions, have good vocabulary and know simple grammar rules and structure. Exams will comprise of oral, listening compre, vocab, comprehension and grammar. Normal spelling consists of long words like hippopotamus, branches, blocks, etc. No more cat, dog, apple, orange.
Maths - they should be able to solve simple maths addition and subtraction cos by 3rd sememster they will do additional and subtraction for bigger numbers up to 50. Then still got multiplication, division, time and money wor.
Chinese, they must know and understand diff between chinese characters and hanyu pinyin.
So if your child is not sufficiently prepared he/she will fall way behind his/her peers. Then end of P1, there is further re-classifications where top tier students are grouped in to the top class, middle tier group together and poor grade students lumped together. Haiz... so stressful...

iluvbli,
When you select classes, make sure the center is reputable, syllabus should follow MOE's standards and they should have equal mix of theory work,outdoor playtime as well as excursions to zoo, bird park, etc.
Like my #2 who is in K1 at Appletree, they are already coaching her simple addition & subtraction, more then and less then, English is on Phonics, reading and spelling. Chinese is focusing both on hanyu pinyin and chinese characters. Plus she also has computer classes.

indeed quite confusing... but getting clearer and clearer pic after clarification from experienced mums Dymples and Kash, haha
i was actually thinking of putting my gal in CC starting 18mths or so, mainly to let her play, interact and getting her used to school days. i though of playground but if the centre no more playground then not much option liao. hmmmm

dymples,
*slap forehead*...P1 is indeed soooooooooooo scary! aiyoh! I think u can't blame KS parents leh...coz the MOE syllabus are sooooooooooo ridiculous! Where is playtime???? my goodness... WHen i read u wrote "composition"???? what at P1??? my goodness! it is really tough to be a kid going through local education. Hope it will not get worse by the time my #1 enters P1..... scary... no wonder there will be teenagers and kids suffering from depression.... it is sooooo stressful!
oh yes, someone told me that SIngapore's teenage/kids suicide rate is actually 1 of the highest in the world. But it is never ever reported here. The person who told me said he read a report when he was in the UK.... hiaz....

Jes, Fifi,
It's not necessary to enrol for playgroup or pre-nursery as during this time, baby goes in merely for interacton and play-play purpose. A lil bit of singing and simple alphabets and numbers. But once they hit Nursery, becomes more of a must liaoz.
However, do note that becos most parents put their children into childcare (CC) or preschools right from the start at playgroup level (18-mths old), by the time it's Nursery, most childcares have reached their maximum child-teacher ratio (aka quota) and therefore are unlikely to take in new students unless they have vacancy due to student 'drop-outs'.

OH MY GOSH!! Now the kiasu mom in me is panicking... i registered my baby for prenursery when she was 3M old. But have not registered for playgroup yet! I think Ok lah .... i everyday play with her at home counted or not?!
Blustar:
That's great to know tt La villa is nice.. The only prob abt the place is not enough high chairs. So i am lugging 2 of my ikea chairs there. It's even better now.. they just put in a playground!! I was soooo happy when i went there for brunch last week!! hahaha macham like my own birthday party. Aye, this means if Kaitlyn gets accepted at St James, she will be classmates with ur son!! heehee I can't believe that at 1M there was already a waiting list though!
Haru: yeah damn fun.. I am printing out all the invites, ordering favors (meringues), cakes etc. BTW, if anyone needs decorations: check out this webshop
http://www.etsy.com/shop/happypapers?ga_search_query=happypapers&ga_search_type=seller_usernames
I bought some stuff from them.. if any Nov mommy is using a rubber ducky or cupcake theme, let me know and I can send you some templates. I made the hats so far.. super easy!!!
JJMOM: Thanks for the tip! I ordered from PG already!! You saved me at least $100!!! Coffee on me the next time we meet ok?! heehee
Kash: Thanks for your well wishes =) Nanyang Kindergarden is the one near bukit timah -- which everyone thinks is affiliated to Nanyang Primary but is actually not. Super competitive to get in.. at least 200 babies before kaitlyn. There is also a waiting list to be a volunteer *roll eyes* I give up. I hope can get into St james... i think the school fees there more reasonable than NY and more importantly my girl can hang out with blustar's handshume son!! hahahha

Mantoubear,
Long time no see too. I miss your nuggets of wisdom. It's nice to have someone do the research and I just pop in and read the summary!! kekeke... I just downloaded the demos report too. I think i will prob finish it before Kaitlyn turns 23. Any problem i just call you to ask ok?! haha.. you know, I was like you when I was younger. I had to save money to buy stuff that I want. So now that I earn my own $ i spend like mad, esp on baby. I partially think it's to minimise the guilt of me travelling rather often. So reading your affluence breeds impatience really worries me =(
Hey Mommies,
wanna check with you guys for your opinion.
I read that babies will have ear infections which causes a lot of pain n suffering for them.. and potentially long term learning disability issues. So, if there is a new vaccine to prevent ear infections, will you be willing to give it to your baby?

Haru, yeah K is also like that! when i take away something from him he gets soo angry! ( think he got that from daddy) hahaha.... but i'm trying to be firm! can't be giving in to his every whim!
Re: sjck...
Haru, yup got the 2nd session for nursery but pre-nursery was already full when i registered, but they emailed me abt 2 mths back to ask if i'm keen on 3rd session for pre-nursery i just said ok first... but i guess if the timing is not suitable ( clash with nap time).. i also may have to look for alternatives for pre nursery!
Actually JG has this pre nursery program fully in mandarin that sounds pretty good to me too! Which session are you for nursery
Hope 2nd session?? Then we can get to see your princess H more often!
Pam, it would be great if your Kaitlyn & K could be classmates
how fun! which session are you waitlisted for? heard the 1st session is the most popular! Prob stand good chance cos heard alot of ppl register but change their minds later! Love the etsy link you put up! gonna bookmark it for furture reference. I "stole" a smilebox visual for my invite! They have loads of pretty backgrounds too!
Fifi, actually playgrp, pre nursery not a MUST...kids can learn alot at home too! for me it's more like finding activities for my boy cos he gets very bored and restless at home.. so i find ways i can to bring him out to "entertain" him.. and entertain myself at the same time!

Pam,
we have same taste!! i also ordered some stuff from etsy.com for my favour tags. =D i am in love with the stuff on that site. sucker for lovely papers and crafts. i even created the invite for bb's party. thats why i ended up doing my own birthday banner, favour tags, invites, decor, etc...things we would for our kid. hahah..

Mummies,
Thanks for your concern, my #1's ears wound are recovering well.
Bear,
Actually that was my point of bring her to goldsmith to pierce her ears. i even bought a pair of pure gold earring at $61. But the ladies said can only used those sterilised type to pierce and told me to change it for her after 2 months. Who knows it become like that.
Dymples,
Your #1 & #2 never had their ears pierced? I thought the younger you do it, the recovering will be faster?
Kash,
Actually I thought of piercing her ears when she was 1 yr old bit ppl are telling me it too young. That why I waited till she is 2yo. Why not piercing at goldsmith? I checked with clinic, some only pierce when kids are 4 yo while other do it individual ears.
My niece loves earring but she is too scared to go for ears piercing at 4 yo. Till now 7 yo, she is still scare. What she do now is to peel a sticker and stick to her ears, pretending it the earring but it just dropped off after she bathe.
I dun want mine to understand "pain" too much tt why bring her for it. And I requested the ladies to do it 2 at the same time so that she will not be frightened off by 1 and refused to pierce the other(That was what happened to my sis).
End up I paid $15 for ear piercing, $61 for a pair of gold earrings, $23 for doc on Sunday and finally $58 to another doc to remove it in the end.
My hubby was
me tt pay pay to let her suffer and said no ear piercing for #2 till older liao.

happywifey,
guess the more important problem now is whether you can get a slot or not
Guess we are all more 'rugi' cos our little ones were born almost the end of the year.
Heard that St James will be opening a new branch in Dover area.. not very sure..
But it's way too far for me... cannot make it..

Good Morning !
snnowy, in my opinion, there is no hurry to go pierce ear holes.
I had mine pierced when i was in Sec sch. I will probably do the same for my girl. By Sec sch age, they can better handle pain, and also take care of the wound themselves. She will also have the choice of 'opt-out' if she is afraid of pain. hee...

Snnowy,
Only my #1 got her ears pierced last Christmas, that means at 6-yrs. I find how fast the wound heals depends on the individual's personal body genes as well as must have good after care. Apply alcohol religiously and keep turning the earring to prevent it being stucked.
Of cos she afraid of the pain lah. But she the'hiao-hiao' type... so will opt to tahan the pain and go ahead with the piercing. At first my #2 also wanna pierce her ears. But after #1 pierced and she saw it's so painful, she backed out straightaway. Till now refuse to pierce, so I'm not forcing her. Eventually she'll want to get it done... and I'll do it when she's more prepared.
Oh yes... I got the piercing done at BeDazzle. They got branches at West Mall and Wisma Atria. After the piercing they will provide the alcohol to clean the ears daily to prevent infections.

Then at night dunno how I sleep, the earring got caught on the pillow case, end up I tear the ear. So now my right side the ear hole is like a long slit. *sob-sob* Cannot wear those nice dangling earrings or hoop earrings cos buay balanced with the other side.
Soho,
Tink should be ok bah... juz dun bring too close lor. hahahaha... will update you after my trip to the Zoo. *winkz*
I scared to let my gals pierce cos last time my ears also pierced when I was berry young, about 3-yrs. Then at night dunno how I sleep, the earring got caught on the pillow case, end up I tear the ear. So now my right side the ear hole is like a long slit. *sob-sob* Cannot wear those nice dangling earrings or hoop earrings cos buay balanced with the other side.

Actually not painful cos I was sleeping and din even know... only woke up cos I felt how come my pillow wet. Then open my eyes to see the pillow case all blood, then I start to scream..!!
Peanut,
Yah lor... tat's my worst fears. So was the main reason why I dun let my gals pierce ears too early. But once they older and understand should be ok.

soho:
I brought my boy to zoo last month. He quite enjoyed it and quite 'stunned' seeing all animals there.
But hor, Mr Giraffe not at home leh... think they are renovating their house..
Go on a good weather day, it can get quite hot.
They provide stroller (Maclaren Techno XT) and wagon rental service. It might be a good idea to rent a wagon and put everything inside (including baby)

Birthday Bash: Any kind aunty here wanna cook one big pot of porridge so that all t kids can share share? hahaha... Good idea isn't it?
Snnowy,
I recalled getting ears pierced at this place called "ISabella" or something is not as painful. The reason is because the earrings they used for ear piercing is much finer than those used by goldsmith. For me, same as some of the mummies here, I think i will leave it till my gal is much older before bringing her to pierce her ear. Think perhaps when she is abt 7 or 8 YO and when she asks for it. I will not bring her to goldsmith...will try out that "Isabella" outlet if it is still available by then
Hope your gal's wound is better now?
hi Pam,
thanks for sharing the info abt nanyang kindy... is Nanyang primary school a good school too? heehee... i have no idea what are the "good" primary schools at all..... I juz hope in the future, i can send my kids to the same school that is pretty near where I am staying. My hb hopes to send my gal to my old primary school as it is very near my place. But hor.... my boy will not be able to get in the subsequent year as I went to a girls' primary school...very sad ... I hope i don't have to worry about a place in a decent primary school for my kids in the future. Ironically, the school near my place is Tao Nan... hiaz... there is also CHIJ and St Pats nearby but given an option, I prefer not to send my children to christian schools as I do not want them to be "brainwash" or exposed to "religious" practice at a young age. Prefer that they grow up and is mature enuff to make a clear decision if they prefer to have a religion or not and what religion will that be.
