Anyone Staying at Bukit Panjang or nearby?

Hi emsam,
4 yr old is probably too young to play , but 5 or 6 yr old will probably b able to learn piano.It depends on individual. For 3-4 yr old children, they will learn percussions, listening to rhythm etc.....

hi gals,

I have 3 sets of lightly used St Josephs's Church Kindergarten pre-N school uniform to let go. One of the set is only 1 month old going for $10 and the other 2 is 5 months old going for $8 each, or $25 for all 3 sets. Original price @ $16 per set. All sets have been carefully handwashed with baby detergent only, so there's no change in shape.

ps: Save money. Don't buy new uniforms since they only use it for 1 year.

PM me for details.
 
hi MamaPanda,

Since you are selling your uniforms,does that mean that your child is no longer in St Joseph's Church Kindergarten? What is your reason for withdrawal? I am still thinking of putting my child there. Hope you can give me some comments. TIA.
 
smurfy
I had some maid problems so I'm gonna fire my maid and put my girl into Cherie Hearts childcare instead cuz I'm MINDEF staff. U wanna buy over my uniforms? Save the money. Don't buy new ones cuz they only wear the purple one for the first year. After that they change to the blue colour uniforms.
 
liew,
St Joseph's Church Kindy is non-aircon. Their fees are $600/term. My girl was there but I had to withdraw her from there cuz there's no one left to care for her after my maid is gone.

part-time maids
Anyone has any recommendations for one? Need 1 quite desperately.
 
hi Mamapanda,
thanks for your reply. Is the kindy good? I have changed one cc before so don't wish to keep changing.

2nd baby,
yes, my boy is sick almost every week!!! and always miss school when he is in Amazing Star. He lost weight too. After I changed him to this childcare, there is tremendously improvement in his health and he also put on 2kg within 3 months there. However, the curriculum here is not as good as AS.

Hi Grace

Realised i spelt playground instead of playgroup...oops ;)

Thanks for the information i will check out the schools as mentioned.

Care to share how long has your boy been attending the playgroup? Do you think he learn anything from school?
 
hi nl,
my son attends from jan-may09. coz i just had #2, so stopped him temporarily till i'm able to bring him there again.

yes, he did learn things faster than i teach him. for the past few mths, he can sing alot of songs, socialise (able to tell me his classmates' names), recognise a-z, mon-sun, colours etc.
 
Hi Grace

That is good to know, bet your boy must have missed the school very much since you withdrawn him. Enjoy your #2

hi ladies,
I am also staying in bt. Panjang, blk 53x.
Going to enrol my girl (26 mths) to Nursery.

1) Don't really like Nanyang kindercare, feel it is small & crowded.
2) Waitlist with Bt. Panjang methodist church (need to take their school bus) & the church next to greenrich shopping centre (walking distance so afraid of raining days)

Currently, she is with Talent Plus at Blk 607. Teacher is gd & she enjoys her 2 hrs playgroup.

I am pregnant & will give birth next mth, when shd i put her to child care? thinking this nov to start. any suggest?
 
Hi shizuka gal, it'll be a good time now so when you give birth, you can have more time to take care of your new baby. And also, for some kids, they are very sensitive, that's what i've read somewhere. They may get upset over their bb siblings esp if parents put them in childcare or under other people's care after their bb siblings are borned. so not sure how sensitive your girl is. oh ya, by the way, congrats!!

Hi zestless mummy, where are you staying in Bt. Panjang? Thanks!
I am considering to put her in child care next mth-Aug. Is it too rush? in the other hand, i hope to spend more time with her before i give birth. what shd i do? continue to put her in playgroup at blk 607 then trsfer her to child care in Nov?
 
Hi shizuka gal, I'm staying at blk 179.

hmm.. not sure about whether it's too rush. Think what's more important is a suitable childcare for her. She will need time to adjust. If she has trouble adjusting and you are about or have given birth, then you may have some problems unless you have someone to help you. If you want to put her in before giving birth, yet you want to spend more time with her, you can consider taking her out everyday earlier from childcare till you give birth. BTW, do you work? If you don't work, you can actually need not consider childcare right?
 
Zestless Mummy, I am working. Will start working in Dec 09 after my ML. Currently, we have another option - Cherie Hearts SAF CDC @ Gombak Pte Ltd. Currently, it is still available. CCC is checking with the Van service about the transport fee. Cos Hubby is from RSAF so have sub. therefore thinking to put her there.

I like the environment & the teachers are friendly.

i will be mving to cck le..if there is any gathering at bukit panjang, let me know ok? cck n bp very near :p
 
Hi!

Considering sending Joanne to a kindergarten. Have alot of positive feedback for MMI at ten mile junction. Kinderland seems to be quite good. They are at bangkit. Any comments?
 
Hi Pamela,

What is the feedback u gather for MMI ten mile junction, can share?

I heard Ichiban Kiddie Kollege is good too and they are pratising MMI method.

I am going to arrange to view Ichiban, CANDY KIDS & GREENFIELD MONTESSORI at Keat Hong LRT. What do you think ?
 
Dear Carolynn

One of my friend has a kid at MMI but not at ten mile junction. One of my friend had a kid at MMI ten mile junction but kid is grown up already. Another has at MMI clementi. I think each MMI is different. All the MMi feed back has been very positive. One of them actually took his daughter out of MMI for one year and now is putting her back. He said that the calibre of the teachers at MMI are much better and the daughter seems to learn quite a lot compared to the present kindergarten/childcare. Did not think of MMI at first beacuse I thought too far. But now may. Staying at 65X Senja. Cannot go to far as MIL may not be able to find the place to bring Joanne back. Not keen for her to take the school bus yet.
I understand that Montessori method is also depending on your child. Any opnions? anyway am planning to check in aug as workload is too much presently.
 
Hi Carolynn, how do you candy kids & greenfield montessori?

Seems rather quiet in this thread these days.. hi hi.. where are all the mummies
