fabbie - there's a new centre under NTUC at Woodlands Ave 3 opening. it's opposite woodlands stadium. they do offer infant care. their open house is this sat 10am to 2pm. Can call their general enquiry line at 6391 9233 to find out more.
Spaghetti - those black thick tapes eh, i think i saw b4... just that worried that it can support the shelves. intend to put big detegent bottles, cleaning stuff, which can be rather heavy.
iemik0 - i still remember ur story on LV. when ur boy is older, do u intend to send him there for kindergarten programme since i think u will still serve ur bond there? so far in general, i think the centres i visit, quite ok with them handling babies. just the other factors which i don't like compared to other centres. i think likely that i will start him 1 week before i go back to work, stay for awhile, then leave n pick him near end of day.
Mimi - pregnant got pandang on mani n pedi eh? 1st time i hear...
piGgiCia - adult symptoms of HFMD same as child? btw, the infant care ctrs i checked out doesn't seem to provide baby wipes eh... have to bring...
Santorini/winnie - i c. thanks!
emeraldbride - i'm not arguing or countering what i have said, so it will be my last post in replying to you infant care issue. i did ask for the centres i visited, on their total strength of infants (2 centres have 4 infants & 1 centre coming to 15 infants) and their age as well. coz there can be some moving on to toddler group by March 2009. i need to know if i can stand a good chance to get vacancy there in March. i see it differently about answering phone calls. all centres that i visited so far have their office. and they do have their admin staff there, be it clerk or principal. let's say if there is something urgent that i need to speak to teacher, it will be best if phone calls are picked up. like for my boss' son in kindergarten, i have to call the kindergarten when my boss forgot to pass form to centre and there is deadline; to remind teacher on getting her son to take medication; check on transport arrangement; etc etc. hmm, the bathing method for baby seems different from my mum's way of bathing my brother and what's taught in class. since i don't have strong fingers, i think i will just stick the soap into water and place baby inside tub to clean.
