So u have made a trip down to that place before? Then think is better to put in PCF than this. So sad there's no appletree playgroup over here.

Thks for your advice. Since both of u and westbb does not have good reviews, then I won't waste my time to check them out.

Hi mummies,
Wow happen to saw this thread...May I know where is st Josephs? My elder gal is also a 2005 baby and I have enrolled her in Bukit Panjang Methodist Church Kindergarten. She's currently in Talentplus at the BP CC.The CC is under renovation so it's quite dusty and noisy sometimes. But overall tink it's still okie. Though the rest of the children plays by themself when the teacher does worksheet 1 to 1, but tink most playgroup or those enrichment center aso does the same for this age group coz they still dunno how to write yet so the teacher has to hold their hand and write. My DD goes to 'I can Read' at CCK every Sat and the teacher aso does the same thing. To me its ok coz after all my main purpose for her to go playgroup is juz to socialize and get ready for her N2 nxt year....juz my thoughts....
ya agree tat its a pity they dun have appletree here.... I like e one at nxt to lot one but its not convenient for my mil to bring her back and forth coz I still got a younger gal....

Have they increased the price for school bus for St Joseph? The last I heard during registration in April was single-trip is $60, dual-trip $80 for bukit panjang area. My colleague who lives in Kranji area, who had recently registered his 2006 girl at St Josephs in June told me his bus fare was $100 2-way. BTW, he was told St-Josephs is full for morning session already. Only left afternoon session so he registered his girl for afternoon session.
Little Pals
Its in Blk 505, opposite Greenridge Shopping Centre. I think their 9am class is full already. Not sure abt the 11am classes though.

Thank you mummies for your prompt reply.
For 2 hrs playgroup, I need to put her nearby the nanny's house (Blk 429) as she is also taking care of my baby girl.
How is Blk 435 Adelfibel Infant and Child Development Centre and Amazing Star Montessori House at Greenridge Shopping Centre?

nah, my boy only 3years old he is wif tots house this year and has enrolled in next year Nursery at PCf. He's born in 2005.

hmm... so far so good, quite satisfied with the sch. oso heard its the best PCF too. hee...
i think the sch is trying to raise the standard, my boy does not have computer class in his nursery this year. Being a nursery student there, you will get priority to get into the premium program comes K1.
btw, you asking abt zoophonics, one of my colleague son is attending, she said it's good. My son is attending phonics at MMI Ten Mile.

is it?how much is it for the mmi?
zoophonics cost abt $100+ rite?
thats good...cos I find in tots house he is not learning alot ..so hopefully in pcf he can improve himself. Haha thats why I let him to study pcf first...kekeke so that can go to the premium clss in K1...hahaha

it's $110 per mth (exclude gst). i think zoophonics is abt $120 but theirs is 1.5 hrs, MMI only 1 hr.
every parent expectation is different, to me, I feel 528 PCF is ok, but others may not think so. however, i feel it is still necessary to send for enrichment class. PCF does not teach phonics at nursery level.

redrose,
can PM me the write up of the class @ 528.
My ger attending N1 there next yr.
I oso heard of very gd comments on MMI phonics.
Is it true that there is no music n movements, its sit n learn kind of style?
Any homework? Or Working materials?
For ZP, there is M&M, and for my ger's class there 1/2 hr mandarian. There is a workbook, sometimes there would be homework.
Zoophonics,
My ger had been attending ZP since 18mths, so far very gd, at least i can see results.

sorry, i dunno how to attach file using PM. paiseh... perhaps you PM me or give me your email addy.
Yes, MMI phonics has no music and movements, its a sit and learn style. but they hv montessori playgroup which has M&M and i think they oso teach the sound of each alphabet. MMI phonics entry level is 3.5 yrs old.

redrose,
OK, later i PM u.
Ya, i ever waitlist the one at rail mall. But in the end we din take up cos timing not gd.
Mayb next yr...
Christina,
YUp, depend on the no. of weeks in that mth.
Yup, my ger is at bt. timah.
2nd baby,
The results are good enough, as she started at speak really late, at 2yrs old.
But she dun speak in baby talk, in proper sentence. So i guess this is the hard work in ZP that she had pay attention.
She is now very vocal.
Then she is able to sound frm A-Z, and now trying to use phonics to do word n picture matching.
She can do lots of A-Z, words tracing. And she love it!
1 more + point, the class is conducted in both mandarian and english, and this is where she learn mandarian from. Not that gd yet, but at least a gd start - can talk to my mil.
I love the idea of workbook n homework. At least i know what is being taught in class.
But whatever class it is, most important she love the school and teacher.
I can see she enjoy herself a lot, and learn lots.
I believe all classes are the same, mayb just dun expect overnight results.
But my ger is still very shy towards stranger or relief teacher, this is 1 thing i m pushing her now.
So trying out speech n drama @ act3.
Hope she can be more daring n brave.
