Reverie and Pinksorbet
Take care and have lots of rest. hope you pass this trimester soon and can eat and eat. I am entering my 39 weeks liao, tummy so heavy and back aching badly, pelvic also pain. I didn't had so much 'pain' when I had my no.1.
Pink
Yes, my no.2's english name not related to no.1 cos both hubby and I can't agree with the names chosen. But we both like Kimberly, so we pick it. But chinese name is related. My no. 1 is Jing Yu and no.2 is Jing Lei.
Childcare recce
Just went to recce 3 childcare today:
1. Art Kidz
Teacher/student ratio is good, 1:6. Place look airy and clean. Kids have chance to expose to Eng/Chinese/Jap language. They have 70 over students and about 34 are Chinese, the rest all Jap or other nationals. Price is expensive though, $900 for full day and no subsidy because they are not license under MCYS but MOE and the full day class ends at 3.30pm, will be tough for working parents..how to pick the kids up at 3.30pm?
2. My First Skool at Henderson Road
This is by NTUC, the less premium brand. (the premium brand is My Little Skool or The Little Skool, can't remember the name). Wow...many kiddos cramp together and the bathing/toilet area is just beside the area where they hold classes...I find it very cramp and not very hygenic. The kids were having lunch when we were there, the rice look so plain, like eating white rice with water. Teacher ratio is 1:8. Is cheap, only $315.25 after subsidy and is just one street away from my new place. But we don't like the environment.
3. Eager Beaver Schoolhouse at Bukit Merah Swimming Complex
The place is very spacious and each class has an individual room unlike My First Skool or Arts Kidz whereby the classes are separated by low drawers and cabinets. The bathrooms and toilets are also separated. Teacher ratio is 1:8. Curriculum wise, pretty similar to the rest, got nap time, lunch time, water play, etc. Price is affordable too, $400 after subsidy. Full day class ends at 7pm
After seeing 3, Hubby and I decided on Eager Beaver on the spot. So my boy is likely to enroll in Jan/Feb 2011 when he is 22/23 mths. Would like him to enroll earlier but too bad, is full now.
Ann,
hope I answered u.
They only have 5 slots left when we recce today, so after reserving a place for my boy, left with 4. Go check out quickly if you are interested
My boy was induced baby as he was overdue and about 3.6 . I had epi & natural.. and my contractions lasted for 2 hrs & he was out. Perhaps because my pelvic area was big also la. ha..No worries k? All the best to u !! Have a smooth delivery !!
