Hi Elmo80,
Just brought my daughter back from school. So far, she didn't cry and she enjoyed herself. The teachers have quite good teamwork, from my observation, they seemed to help each other out alot... Morning was a little chaotic though, coz all the kids from different level have their breakfast together, but the teachers try to get everybody to eat together then after that it's assembly time. So far, everything seems okie. So I left the school and picked her up after lunch time. Also seems okie, the kids all have their bath and they were preparing to nap already. Also met the director helping out... The kids seems quite happy... Maybe too early to tell since it's only the first day. But so far so good...

Hi Sufeiya,
Thanks for sharing and im glad that your gal enjoyed herself in cD. I popped by this evening with my hb at CD and was attended by the Director who showed us around the premise. Nice place but didnt get to see the lesson as it was almost time to go back for most of the kids. Was keen to know more about their school syallbus, hopefully the Director will email us as this will be one of the factors when we make decision for the cc.

Hi Elmo80, no worries... Believed both of us met the same director today... I didn't get to see the lessons too, only managed to take pics of the time tables and also menus for the toddler range... Because I didn't want to linger too long in case my daughter keeps looking for me so had to do disappearing act... Do share with me on your thoughts about CD in case you send your child there too... I'm a first time parent sending my child to a childcare and also hopes for the best for her...

Hi Mummies,
Just to share my experience here.
My child used to attend a Montessori CC in Sembawang. My child was there for around 6 mths and would cry & vomit at the gate almost every morning. I had tried to engage the principal to see how I can help my child to adapt better but she always brushed me off by replying all kids were the same and they would get over it soon. 4 mths gone, there was no improvement at all, my child still refused to go to CC in the morning. Then the teachers started to get impatient and my child ended up scolded by 5 teachers in one day. From then on my child even more phobia to go CC. Worse still my child had nightmare every night since the first day of CC. Noting all these, I realized it is time to change CC.
I searched and found out about Li'l Einstein here. My family visited the CC and my child kind of like the place. Not big but cozy. The ratio is 1:7 per class only. The principal is very engaging and attentive, so we decided to trial for 2 weeks. As I had spoken to the principal about my child's problems in CC during the visit, such as cry & vomit every morning, don't drink milk before nap and don't like to try new food, she took the initiative to contact me on the first day of trial to discuss how to tackle these problems. Though my child still cry every morning but only vomited once during the first week trial. My child also started drinking and finishing milk for the first time in CC on the 2nd day. The menu in Li'l Einstein is fantastic too. My child even eat breakfast in CC which is very rare. The best part is my child no longer has nightmare at night. We have decided let my child stay in Li'l Einstein after the first week of trial.
My observation is the staffs in Li'l Einstein are caring and attentive. They also believe each child is an individual and would apply different approach to different child to get the same effect. This is the commitment that I can't get in the Montessori CC. So now I am looking forward to the day my child would wave goodbye to me happily in the morning.
Wish everyone all the best in getting the suitable CC for your child.

Saw one or two asking about Cambridge. We joined at the beginning of the year and felt a tad unfamiliar at first but now it feels like family. We are happy. It's fulfilling what we are looking for in a preschool - instill a love for school, keenness to apply what was imparted during lessons, love for learning, manners, empathy, confidence. So far so good. The teachers are very warm but firm.
Hi Mary, I just happen to know that the childcare centre which occupied 355 Sembawang Way #02-02 was Joy Montessori (I took a walk around there the year before). So I checked childcare link (http://www.childcarelink.gov.sg/), and realised that Star Learner's Montessori is indeed at that address, and started towards the end of last year -its license was issued in Nov 2012.
So I don't think its the same Montessori CC that was mentioned earlier in this thread, as that one was in operation for at least 6 months before 27 Feb 2013.
All the best in your search!

Hi, Kerryn. i enquired with My First Skool last year too and there was already a looooong waiting list. i didn't pursue it. i was also very interested in Sparklelots but there was a waiting list too. Two of my neighbours signed up onto the waiting list last year. this year, both were told that there were places available (they declined as their children were were-adapted to the childcare centers they were in). Have you visited Sparkletots? i saw it as it was being set up and liked it. but i didn't want to be on a waiting list.
