Lynzi,
Yes, at the void deck.
Jasmine,
I dont think SparkleTots is under PCF. Probably, it's a joint venture when come to InfantCare, ChildCare n StudentCare services.
The only problem i am wondering now is whether they are air-conditioned!
InfantCare section at NTUC Blk 347 is air-conditioned whereas the rest are not.

ladies,
my gal is under PCF Sparkletots at block 585. Yes, it is under PAP community foundation, which is known as PCF. Meaning to say that they are under the govt..
GoGOVier,
Most PCF Childcare is air conditioned and they have similar layout for all branches. Air condition has its pros and cons. The teachers will not suffer so much from the heat but the cons is that kids can fall sick easily.
For my gal centre at blk 585, they do open the windows in the morning to air the place. The infant care teachers are great.

my gal in Nursery 1 already. she is 3 yo this yr.
yup the infant care corner is very nice and the best thing is there is not much babies in infant care. the babies get undivided attention from the teacher. The teacher in charge is also a very nice lady.
how old is yr child? the playgroup teachers are also very nice and caring.

hi clovy,
it got me thinking when we talked last Tuesday. Actually learning to write at 3 years old is not early liao. I have done my research and kids as young as 2 years old can start tracing the letters as it is also a great way to improve their fine motor skills.
Mummies,
when you put your child in a childcare center, be aware of what the teachers are teaching your kid. I have heard numerous incidents that some centers do not prepare the kids well when they enter P1. My colleague is a very good example. She told me 'just leave it to the childcare teachers'. When her son entered P1, he was struggling with the subjects. Now he is in P3, need tutor to coach him as his marks are at the borderline (can fail type). She told me she regretted it....a very grave mistake.

Morning Mummies,
I went to visit Apple tree at blk 611 and 504, smiling star at 521 and kinderland pre-school and childcare.
I love kinderland, but it's expensive for a 3 hour class compare to smiling stars and apple tree of course. Now so headache.
Jasmine,
It's ok.. I visited the centre alr... It's ok environment compare to apple tree at blk 611.

bee, just got another note from my gal's cc. 4 cases of HFMD... abt 2 weeks ago there are 2/3 cases...
IMO, better to report..then those pp with alternatives (eg, maid, grandparents at home) can opt to keep their children at home if they want to...(esp if their kids have abit of low immunity)
