Hi adv_sport,
U r right. My #1 was formerly from LV @ Kent Vale. But Learning Vision lost the tender..So we just stayed on with the new vendor who is cheaper, supposedly as good and the location is more convenient as compared to the New LV location at Science Park.
Childcare are so pricey!!

Ilovesashimi,
You can go to this website to check on pre-school and childcare centre available:
https://www.childcarelink.gov.sg/ccls/home/ChdCccSrch.jsp
Both my elder kids go to Metropolitan YMCA childcare, it's a Christian School (tho we are not!) You can check out the above website for more info!

USA Grad Student Research with Singapore Parents - Quick Survey
Thank you to those who have completed my survey - I have already received 20 responses!! I am hoping to get 10 more so I can do my comparison study. Can you share this with other parents you know? I really appreciate the help and am so excited about studying in your country! Here are the details...
I am a graduate student at the University of St. Thomas in the United States (Minnesota), participating in a study abroad course in Singapore at the National Institute of Education. The study is to learn more about couple's relationship as they take on the role of parenthood.
The following people are invited to take the 5-minute survey:
* Have you had your first (and only) child in the past six months to 24 months?
* Do you live with the co-parent?
* Is it the first child for both partners?

Ak,
Ya.. Go cc no need attend pre-sch.
Ilovesashimi,
Me stay at northeast la.. I think distance is quite impt esp pre-sch. Who is going to fetch your kid to n fro sch? Unless u r talking abt fulltime cc where u or your hb can do e job before n after work.
My girl is attending a pre-sch at serangoon garden. Though its only 10mins drive, sch bus requires her to board e bus an hour before sch starts. In e end, hb decided he does e job of fetching to n fro. He says disturbance to work but he takes this as bonding time.
Happy 9th mth to andrea, ming yang, isaac, rebecca n rachel!!

As someone compared my mom didnt bother Bpa non bpa as those times they used glass bottles. There is not much adv milk formulas. I was BF and if at all no milk we were fed diluted cow/ goat milk. There are no readymade food 4 babies and not many junk foods available. There are no SARS, swine flu nor had to worry on flu jabs. There are not many cases of ADHD, Autism, ezcema, asthma etc., No global warming, not too much pollution etc., comparing this fast phased life with those days is like comparing apple with an orange.
ppl from everywhere do research, read reviews on strollers, car, home, pre school before deciding. Sounds these are very imp subjects to do research work. I kind a stupid mum doing readups and reviews on baby health.
My intension here was to share what I read/ know/ experienced personally. I thought If I could save $$ and PD trips by simple remedies I should share. Because I made several trips to PD by intro HT 3 months ago. That was my experience on HT and happy bellies. If I share it will become another ground for taunting.
I never intend to post to hurt someone. Those who were offended I already apologised in prev. posts.
Audrey:
special note to you, dont dare to give stupid names to my baby like eintein or president. Ur rude comments and taunts are unhealthy and nonsensical and spreading unnecessary disharmony, being nasty doesnt prove your point also

Re: Preschoo
I am checking on presch & playgroup in my area. I stay in telok kurau road. Is marine parade/ east coast near to u? Heard got lot of good ones w neutral accent.
Re bread:

All mummies:
Wishes to all mummies whose babies celeb 9th month.

Children can go playgroup - 1.5 - 2 hrs when reach 18 months. Above 2 years old - 3 years can go pre-nursery. 4 years old goes to nursery and 5 - 6 years old go K1 and K2 respectively.
Preschool is just a term use for school that provide education for young children before they reach statutory education (primary school)
Not all preschool provide Pre-nursery class. Mostly Nursery onwards. My #1 attended Apple Tree play group at 2 years old, switched to pre-nursery when I moved to my mum's place. This year she is attending nursery class.

Yuki_lim,
My girl will be attending her third trial class this coming Sunday at LNT jurong east at 5pm.
They have two classes on Sunday at 2pm & 5pm for babies from 7mths to 12 mths. Each class has one baby in the class.
Perhaps you can check with them if your baby can join in one of the classes for trial class.

In Singapore, statutory education starts from Primary 1. Even without Pre-school, children will be admitted to Primary school too.
Preschools have 3 years structured programme from nursery - K2. Not all preschool provide Pre-nursery programme. Pre-nursery is slightly more expensive than nursery, it's more like play group actually.

Can skip playgroup too before attending nursery. Just let the children socialise, play around and get away from home environment. I let my girl attended the pre-nursery as the school she is attending offers pre-nursery. I rather let her attends school than to let her idle at home.

That's true. There's many under-priviledged children from poor family who couldn't afford to send their children to preschool. Normally these ppl would be the drop-out at primary school, so the govt is providing many subsidies to help these families to let their children attend preschool. Imagine not only addition and spelling, it's too late to even learn to write at primary 1!

6 months to 18 months, you may consider infant care centre, else I guess there are many enrichment classes like kindermusic, even the brain training like Mindchamp, Shichida method also enrol young babies carry in arm by parents too. Mindchamp and shichida are very costly though.

I'm registering my boy for 2012 playgroup/nursery in 2011. Those popular school may have to register even earlier. Someone mentioned last week that the intake is full in St James for children born in year 2009? Some school no need pre-registration there's always vacancies.
You may have to keep a lookout or call up the school to check the when the intake start.

Preschool:
I think need to get feedback from parents who sent their kids to those school..
Some Apple Tree are good, not all tho..
I personally dun like ntuc cc.. talk to the school teachers/principal..
Visit a few & judge urself:
few things to keep in mind:
1. cleaniness/environment
2. staff turnover
3. things they teach
4. food given
5. teacher - kids ratio
