TELC - getting there is a nightmare!
I'm a Alumuni of NP and SIM. Every morning, Upper Bt Timah Rd jam all the way till end of Clementi Rd. Every evening, the opp happens. LOL. So, thats out for me. Unless I get a job in NP or SIM.

Hi!
Just to share. My girl is in Zoophonics at Beauty World. Quite a good school as they have passionate teachers and my girl likes animals so she could remember her phonics easily. I like the fact that she can stay in the same school from 18 month to K2. The only thing I dun like about the school is they do not have toilet within the school premises. I have no choice but to tolerate this weakness as my girl is really very happy there.

just to share... my girl is with Creative O. I like that they have outdoor activites every morning. And they have engaged professional to conduct Creative Movement, Speech & Drama, etc.. So I dont have to enrol them outside.
Some cons.. need to pick up by 6.45pm, they are closed on Saturday, the traffic in/out Creative is quite heavy after office hours..
Some of the cc that I also find good:
Columbia Learning Centre: the child are well prepared academically. I think from Nursery, they already have spelling **stress**. Dislike: the centre is not big, thus very packed with abt 100+ students.
Towns For Kids (Jurong East): the teachers look very energetic, passionate. they also have enrichment lessons included, and also swimming.
Cherie Hearts (Chevron): heard the teachers are very gentle and passionate with handling children.

Jus sharing too, can take a look at Jurong Calvary Kindergarten at No.1 Tao Ching Road. It's situated within a church. Personally, I like the Principal,Ms Lin. Look stern but she have a big heart. My son is there,the school have strict rules and envorinment is good and very school like. That's what I like most. The school envoirnment,coz I'm afraid if my son move to P1 (and if he's put in place not very school like) he may get culture shock.Juz my two cents. Btw, they only have N2 to K2.
Hi there,
Just wondering if any of the mummies put your toddler at TELC@SIM currently? My 19mth old son will be going there in May, however I am rather worried abt the HMFD outbreak that is going on lately. Need your opinion on whether should I start him there later or shall I just proceed? Not sure on how well prepare is the CC.

TELC@SIM has a nice curriculum, almost put my girl there but like someone else mentioned, the jam there in the morning (from Bukit TImah to Clementi) is terrible!
Sunflower Montessorri has now moved to Jalan Kakatua off Jalan Rajawati. Nice homey setting with good teachers. Put my girl there. I think the school is fast filling up.

I still am unable to find any CC for 18mths old...
I do not like the below due to Traffic Jams:
1. TELC at SIM
2. Creative O at IBP
All locations at Upper Bt Timah, Hillview, Clementi Road, Intl Business Park are out. Hillview only 1 bus service go there. The rest have horrible jams at peak hours.
A CC at Bt Batok East Community Club only accepts min 22 mths.
So difficult to find a place that still charge me almost my monthly pay. Irony.

Hi Sandra, I meet up with the Principal of Rejoice kidscampus.
its an ok place. just learning interacting with kids and they let kids watch Barney. But the price is $250 aft subsidy. I find its not worth paying this price to do nothing much.
I am gng to visit Just Kids and Carpe Diem both at bt batok. Price should be around $350 aft subsidy. The PCF at Bt batok west (3 of them) charges only $150.
Prices are for full day care.

Hi all,
review on some CC.
1. Rosy heart (www.rosyhearts.com)
went to rosyhearts and was impress with the school. it is basically very clean and the person in charge really know children very well. they have very low teacher to toddler ratio. Like the way they bring up the children. lots of outdoor in their own lawn, and no tibits (like biscuits) their snacks are fruits. and they prepare 3 times a week of porriage using fish. and the best of all. they do not encourage TV programs like most child care. after a certain time, watch tv while waiting for parents to fetch. they hv kindermusik once a week.
but the sad thing is they are quite inaccessible looking at location. just behind old town cafe. and their fee is quite high...
for those staying near and have the budget, i would highly recommend the school
2. Carpe Diem (Jln Jurong Kechil)
went to rosy hearts first. so comparatively not so clean, they have a few numbers of china teachers.
didnt like the place coz it looks abit dark. basically, wat i like is they have thier own gym area..
will visit other cc and review if hv the time..

my gal will turn 3 next year, called up first skool at bt batok east CC, was told they are having a waiting list. What puts me off is the person who picks up the call, probably the teacher. she sounds very young and cheerful, but the way she speaks to me is very casual, too casual in my opinion. In the end, didn't put my gal on the waiting list.
any other good recommendation in bt batok central? Took a peep at Carpe Diem, teachers are shouting at kids
Visited sparkletots too, but the teachers taking nursery class seem more like aunties attending to their basic needs rather than educating.
going to visit faith montessori next week, anyone has comments on faith and children's world monty which is along the same stretch of road as faith? Or cherie hearts at hillview?

oh yes, I visited caterpillar's cove at ngee ann poly as well. Very impressive, and my older gal who resents childcare so much (she's in kinddy now) wants to join the school
also visited creative O, very impressed with the curriculum, esp for the fact that they engaged professionals to teach enrichment,but none of the teachers are smiling at all during the visit. wonder why....
But quality education comes with a hefty price...half day care for caterpillar's cove is already 900 plus before subsidy. Sweat...

Abt Rejoice KidsCampus.. I find tat paying a sum of $250 is worth it.. both my son (4yrs;N2) & girl (2yrs;PG) are attending.. they learn a lot of tings.. not juz watching barney like wat one of the mum said here..
my girl will come home performing to us what she learned in sch.. songs she learned, numbers, alphabets..
as for my son, he had a better grasp of mandarin too.. n by paying an additional $40, they attend Speech & Drama classes every tues taught by a teacher who is UK trained..
On the whole, i find wat i pay justifiable.. and wat they learn in this childcare is great..
FYI, my girl only joined them in Sept 2009.
HTHs...

Hi mummies
I have relatively new Cambridge CDC uniforms used for a couple of months only which I would like to let go. Understand that the uniforms are the same for all centres. I have 3sets of uniform dresses size L and 3 sets of PE attire size 26 available. Willing to let go at $25 for all. Please let me know if interested

Dear Mummies
need your help as I am lost where to start looking. My boy is in K1 this year and I need to find a kindergarten around Bt Batok.
Do you know if there is one at Bt Batok or nearby? that provides childcare from at least 7am to 7pm too?

Hi mummies.. any more review on Rejoice Kidscampus @ B. Batok, Blk 288E/ Spakle Touts @ T.Blangah, Blk 44?
We have visited Rejoice & spoke to the principal. Can't c much as the toddlers were napping.. Have spoken to the principal, my husband pretty sastified with the principal on the way he handled my little terror as well as what will they be doing if my boy happens to behave the same in class. As my boy blew his top during the visit.
Is it true that majority CC will let the child to attend 2 to 3 hours for a start, then gradually extend the hours when he get use to the ppl & enviroment there?
However, am dilemma wheather to put him into Rejoice/ Spakle Touts which is near my place with a walking distance.
