Anyone knows where to get canned abalone cheaper?
Those shops at bugis area? Or Chinatown?
 
sharon,

if you're looking for new moon abalone, the pink & blue one from NZ, buy form Zheng Zhong Ping medical. It's $105 for 3.
 
Morning mummies!

I made enquires with the kindergarten and they said their nursery class starts from 4yr old. So since it's still some years ahead, i asked when is the right time to submit registration considering ovann is only 16 mths now. They replied to say i can submit the waiting list form now.

I was like .. huh? So early? It's at least 3 years later leh. Dunno if i shld submit now or wait till maybe 1 or 2 yrs later? Cos if submit now, dunno if my form will get 'misplaced' or their system conk out or even change management that somehow they dun hv the records anymore ... aiyoh... or is it i worry too much and shld just submit?
 
Pegsfur
do now la. Kindies start reg early in march anyway. So if 4 yr old, will be registering the yr they turn 3 yrs old and that's next yr leh. Might as well start now.
 
pegsfur, I think you need to pay booking fee for the registration. But 3 yrs leh, what if the school close down? I book my girl's school when she is one yr old, after seeing the Shichida KG close down, I very worried. Once every week, I've to drive pass the school to see if it's still open.
 
huh? booking for kindergarten now for 4 yrs old?

4 years old attends pre nursery 1..rite ...or no? confused.

btw do all childcare have pre nursery classes ..up to kindergarten? or do we have to enrol them separately?

*getting more and more confused**
 
oh, so in other words, if i want to change pre nursery - i also need to change childcare? - headache

anyone who puts their elder kids in Montessori style teaching - any feedback/expereinces on how they cope with P1 classes?
 
donkeymami/ BB,
It's not exactly register leh .. she was asking me to submit the waiting list form, so i guess no need to pay now.

mashy,
Ok, what u said do make sense since kiddos are turning 3 next year! Aiyoh, i still can't register that ovann is going to be 3 ... i still think of him as a little baby. Ok, shall submit the form now.

bbmaking,
The kindergarten has nursery class so i was thinking of putting ovann there for nursery, den auto 'promote' to kindergarten when he's 5/6.
 
Our kids can go pre nursery next year. So u need to reg them this yr if u intend to send them. Better call and find out as reg can be anytime now till June. Also check if they accept your kid since our kids born in jul/aug. Some must be strictly 2.5yrs in Jan.
 
pegsfur, just submit to be in the waiting list? Meaning not securing a place. Hmm... Very risky leh. When I booked my girl's class for 18mth when she was 12mth old, the principal only asked me to pay $200. I already very worried cos other schools will straight away collect one month school fee and deposit. Guess you can submit the form to be in the waiting list but also look for alternatives.

yes, for classes starting next year. U need to contact the kindy to ask when is their registration period. Some schs start very early.
 
baby making, 3 yr old is pre-nursery, 4 yr old is nursery. There are 2 different kinds - the kindy type which is 3-4 hours only. And the CC type which incorporates the kindy-type programme and full day care.

bean, most kindies start registration around March/April.
 
hi all, any good pre-schools or those 2-3hr type of classes for sengkang area? don't seem to see those, mostly half day or full day child care le...
oh...what's the issue abt being able to cope with P1? e.g Montessori style ? then which type of schools teach the relevant syllabus? sorry i have no clue there is a difference, thought all this schools should teach the similar requirements for P1? how about those NTUC ones? what's the name?

any experienced mummies please advice...
thank you....
 
||random tots tinking aloud||

piggy, agree kyler is fast learner the moment teacher said bubble he can pronounce bubble vy clearly. btw the teachers on tat day i thk teacher moon still ok the other CMI le.

Will be the teachers stick to the class through out the term ah?

Jeni,
United square

Donkeymami,
Yeah same teachers thru out
I just last few lessons for Ryan last tem n teacher suck
This term's teachers r good...I also won't cont cos putting Ryan in Cc soon
 
but piggy.. frm the way u describe kyler.. i tink he is one smart one oso. hehe.. frm his 'peh kee' frm so long ago.. den all the words he picked up.. him taking on instructions n all. hehe.

i tink gvn my m&k.. they...... haiz.. i duno wat to say. bahahahah~ juz, well.. lalala~ play is on their agenda now. heeee~
 
Donkeymami,
sigh i din join the class so dunno which 1 is teacher moon??? the old 1 or young 1?? actually my HB was tellin me he prefer playdays... i tink the teacher will be the same thru out the term wor...

fatbobo/mashy,
ya i would say Kyler learn pretty fast but hor to catagorise him as gifted child hahah i tink too early/fast to tell bah.. cos many of my friend child also learn pretty fast wor..so i thot it pretty norm?

Babys,
actually i feel tt toddler at their age learn fast but maybe in diff area for Kyler i can only say he pick up words fast n follow my instruction ... but other area i dare not say the same thing.. like i saw Shayna can be a flower gal n walk down the aisle but i am sure Kyler will jus walk away den guai guai walk straight lol~ n till now my toilet training still fail lol~~~
 
Piggy, teacher moon is younger malay lady..the older auntie abit cannot make it..moutbatten is much more spacious. for novena 8 students together wif parents in the classroom seems to be vy packed.

I been to trial in moutbatten i feel more organise & less chaotic prolly becos the teachers bah.
 
Donkeymami,
really ah.. ya my Hb also find tt room v cramp maybe tt y he prefer playdays.... oh it the old auntie tt say Kyler may be a gifted child lol so u know i dun trust her words??
 
Morning ladies!

piggytoh,
kyler is really fast! he can actually read numbers & so many words! Ethan can't read numbers yet.
 
pegsfur,
submit your registration now lah, since no need to pay anything except submit form right?

I submit my registration for #2 since last year somemore I still need to pay 1st term deposit :p
 
Piggytoh,
Kyler is fast!

Piggytoh/donkeymami,
Could the old teacher be teacher evelyn? Caucasian?
But totally no passion n will ask the kids to sit, no patience

Celine,
Ur #2 registered for ST James rite?
 
Sharon,
no wor she is an INdian quite friendly got patient but from wat i see she is assisting the other teacher nia like not v well trained...i din join in the class so not v sure but sumhow i find this class not suitable for Kyler cos he alr know most of the alphabet n animals so when the teacher start on the alphabet he start to walk ard...

Zen/Babymaking,
thanks.. so he is consider fast huh?? i tink becos day time at my MIL house they have been teachin him numbers n alphabet and they keep talkin to him bah..as for body part he mainly know his facial features and hand n leg nia... actually i find the baby Einstein DVD useful cos he seem to pick up alot from there now he can even identify colours...
 


Good morning!

Sam went for MMR yest - praying hard no fever, else cannot go for Kindermusik liao haha

Going to Playgroup

The PD asked me whether Sam was in a playgroup. I told him no, & he told me not to Sam into a playgroup. He said to bring him to those 3-h 'enrichment' classes with the parent sitting in to let him 'socialise'.

Gosh! He must be really 'anti-social' for the PD to say that. Or was it bcoz he staretd bawling the moment we were at the PD's doorway. He was happily playing & running & making a nuisance of himself till we neared the door. Then he bawled non-stop & kept crying to go out of the room & nothing worked.

This PD is very 'bochap' & take it easy. If he says that Sam needs to attend a 'class', I guess he really shd? The firs thing I thought was.. "Autism"??? Hiaz
sad.gif


Anyone got list of classes that I can check out?

Want those 3-h or so type where he can sit, run, play with frens etc.

LIST OF WEEKEND CLASS
