childcare,
ya, the one at my home downstairs are bad. like wat hook said,the teachers scold
the kids. i pity them.
sunnysun,
children network is at galistan avenue (opp phoenix lrt).
those 3 storeys pte houses. i would felt tat its quite near bukit panjang though
need to walk or take a bus.. when i enrolled my gal in, it was the promotion period.
thus i would only need to pay $450 after government subsidy.its quite cheap.
plus point is i like the teachers who look after rachelle. im quite happy with it.
buttons,
erm, im not sure wat the difference between the preschool and childcare.
i think childcare aso covers wat the preschool have. just tat the childcare
may be longers in terms or hours. preschool's hours normally ard 2 to 3.
tat what my nephew is doing now. cos he is looked after by my mum.
children network, i think got preschool too.. hehe. im not sure leh cos all i noe was tat its a infant
and childcare, which is good enuf to me.i can help u to ask if you dunt mind.
hui,
take ur time.. i doubt i can finish the asmoco tat fast too. since only
collecting on tis sun..

MMI - modern montessori international. they have alot of branches and there's one at ten mile junction.
preschool concentrates on teaching the child. Is like a normal school but the hours is short cos toddler's attention span is short.childcare...the child learn/eat/sleep there. normally they spend the morning (2hrs-3hrs) to teach / play. you have to check on the curriculum of the childcare, normally if your child is at childcare, they cover most of what pre-school is learning.
if mummies looking for preschool / childcare, MMI is not bad. but that only applies to certain branch. the one at ten mile is not bad but no outdoor play area. their swimming pool is on the top floor (rooftop).
i started looking around for schools for my son when he reach 1yr. went for number of trials / sit ins too. however, only time can tell. normally if i am fed up with the school teachers / system, i don't hesitate to take him out because my son adapt easily to new environment. current he is with St Joseph Church Kindergarten. he started there for his N1 and currently in N2. the teachers there are good and my son love to talk about them (children are more sensitive). Early this year, my son suddenly hate going to school and cries whenever he go on the school bus. i call the teacher and spoke to the bus-driver (and of cos, i went to school and peep at him for 3days, to find out the problem)..realise is some K1-K2 students that is too rowdy and scared my son. bus-driver transferred those bigger kids to another sch bus and teacher gives me daily writings on his progress in school. guess is their efficiency that won my trust. problem solved within a week and my son enjoy his school again. most importantly, its cheap. i'm paying $630/term. previously at Amazing Stars, i paid $580/month w/o subsidy cos i'm a SAHM. i asked my son everyday what he learn in Amazing Stars and guess what...he said EAT! i paid them $580 to teach my son to eat...guess the teachings is good cos my son eats alot now..

Hi Hook,
After reading ur experience, I'm glad tt Amazing Star close their infant care svc.
Before tt I still tot Amazing Star is OK I dun know their childcare service is tat bad cos every morning when I bring my gal to their infant care,she'll always smiles at the infant care teacher.
Hi Jenny,
Wow, you really got it cheap, cos now I'm paying $600 after the govt subsidy @ Children Network.
Tomorrow my gal will be on her own, we need to go back to work liao

hi hook,
ya, it is hard to choose a good school. cos when you go there, everything will be like a perfect world. its only when you at there for a long time, then will know well. luckily you withdraw him early since its so bad.
i did thot of choossing infant sch near bukit panjang too. but then i did not like it.
hi agnez,
nice meeting you today.. Im sorry if i did not really tok to you as was quite blurred still esp in the morning.. still dazing..
by the way, im sorry tat tat time i told you children network - infant care only got 3 kids (including my gal), but actually there is another gal too. just tat her mum is going to put her there til June. thus i forgot to count her in. so sorrie about it.
dunt worry, your gal will adapt to the new place quite fast..
ya, i got it very cheap. thanks to the promo they have. actually its was by coincidence that rachelle went to this sch. my hubby's frd told him about this sch. so just out of curiosity, we went there with rachelle to view the place.
one thing we like is tat there is a big garden for rachelle to run about since she is active gal.
plus the teachers are quite nice and friendly. thus we decide to choose tat sch.

hi sunnysun,
its for full day. ya, im still paying for tat price for infant care.
but then not sure of the childcare.
my gal is now 15mths old. another 3 mths, she would need to transfer to childcare.
thus might be slightly more exp.. had yet to ask the teacher about the price (whether would
be the promotional price for childcare or the original price?
if i can see the principal, i can help to ask her for you.

Hi Sunnysun,
Mine is full day infant care for babies 2-18mths.
Before govt subsidy for working mother is $1,000,
$600 after lessing the govt subsidy.
Jenny, no worry that ur gal will be bored when Cara left. When we were @ Children Network with my gal, we noticed rachelle is very independent & observant. Cara cried for her mother when she saw me pacifying my gal, so teacher kwan went over to pacify her. Rachelle was calm, she continued to play with her toys & at the same time observing us. She even went over to my hubby to do a hi-5 with him, very cute

Sunnysun,
No...i didn't try MMI cos they are full when i wanted to enrol my son. the next nearest branch is oppsite phoenix lrt (those private house) but i find it inconvenient so dropped the idea.
some schools required us to book early..especially those good school. Learning ladder is very good but always fully booked. i am on their waiting list for 3 long months but before they got vacancy for my son, i have already enrol my son into his current school.

Hi,
Nice to meet the Bukit Panjang community here.

We are putting up at Fajar Road Blk 425.
Currently as I am working full time, MIL is taking care of baby renxu. Can't wait to send bb to YMCA childcare under the block opp Senja LRT.
Anyone know how is the YMCA childcare centre? It is our 1st choice as it is very convenient for us. Hwoever, they only take in bb when they can walk, eat independently and are toilet train.
Think must wait long,long cos my son quite slow in his dev. Only start crawling when he turns 10mth, let alone walking:<

think not fast leh...my dec group oso hv bbs starting to learn crawling...
Hannah loves flipping too, now that she's perfected it and can keep flipping multiple times, it's getting hard to change her! When i pin her down, she gets "angry" wif me and will cry.
bb learn to crawl best on firmer surfaces, so i place her on the bumper mat. but sometimes on the bed she also will try (will remove the comfortor cos it's too soft. Her cot no room for her to crawl. Sometimes I put her on dining table (we hv a big one)! She move extra fast on dining table...
Sitting now is still supporting herself with her hands. not yet totally uprite without hand support and back totally straight type.

Re: Childcare
I heard that Leaning Ladder is not good in terms of their hygiene.
I am also looking for CC now. My son is 14 months. MMI at Ten Mile is my first choice now but it is expensive and not much place to roam about for my child. Furthermore, dunno by the time my son is ready got vacancy or not
Re: Ergo carrier
I have been using it for quite a while until baby is too heavy for me to use now. It's really useful but i have some comments
1) it is too hot for our weather
2) i cannot roll it to keep when not in use
3) fat pple with thick waist cannot use, like my hb lor
How come nobody tried Patapum Carrier? It is almost the same as Ergo but it is cheaper, less pockets = less layers = less hot, can it can roll up to keep when not in use (easier to bring out)
http://sg.auctions.yahoo.com/sg/iatapum%20baby%20carrier%20%28combi%2C%20lucky%2C%20maclaren%29:111559313
I am not doing a promo here but just giving some feedback. I have also not come across a patapum carrier before.

Hi hui,
Dun worry too much, u r not alone, my gal born 30 oct 06 (coming to 7.5 mths). So far, she knows how to flip very well but can't really sit firm without support, now starting to lift her bum n learning to crawl. Last weekend, we saw her crawling backwards a bit, so furni. I guess different babies develop very differently, cannot compare lor...
Soon when yr son know how to crawl very well, u will call for help loh.

Soon when yr son know how to crawl very well, u will call for help loh.
jaline,
after hearing wat u said, i more relieve now. it must be real funny seeing bb crawl backwards... my fren also told me her son crawl backwards instead of forward...i hear already also can't help smiling.
bobian,
at first i also tot of buying babybjorn, or ergo carrier, or sling...then my hubby say i siao ding dong... waste $$...jus concentrate and specialise in 1 will do. ever since i bought him a stroller, i find putting my son in his stroller better than carrying him... at least both of us have hands free to eat. heeheehee...

bobianahh,
ya, i not using anymore cos he is 10kg now, my shoulders cannot tahan already. Furthermore i keep thinking that his urine leak and keep touching my stomach to feel the wetness. But actually its becos both of us are sweating profusely due to the heat
Sorry, my Ergo carrier was lent to my friend alrdy.. but i can recommend you a person who rents if you want. PM me.
I have not seen the real patapum thing. But from wat i seen from the pics, it seems to be better than Ergo. Less pockets, more compact. Seriously, i have never use the hood and the pockets attached to it.

Hi Hui & Jaline,
My gal (born in Oct 06 too) also starts to learn crawling when she is abt 7 mth +.
At first I tot she will skip the crawling process as initially she only does "push up" & move backward instead of forward.
Only recently then she decides to move forward
Now hv to be careful what I put on the floor especially the table fan as she always move toward the direction where the fan is.

Angez,
$600 should be quite reasonable right. I visited there on Wed. No air con one ar?
Hook,
Teck whye there got MMI meh? I thought only 1 at Ten mile only. So now where is ur boy sch?
Hui,
I also new bird there, only organized 3x BP, 1 is the Old Navy another is Gymbroee and current one is the CCT. Is best the u jo the mummies to buy together in order to share the shipping fee Vpost charged. Vpost actually charge according to the weight or the size of ur item so u need to check with the supplier the weight n dimension of yr item. I haven try order from ebay or amazon b4 maybe u can ask at the overseas sprees there whether any mummies interested to buy those things u mentioned and organize the spree and u can tobang thr.

i show her flashcards. can tell if they are interested or not. if they interested, they will look at the cards, sometimes smile, look at u, if they not interested, will look away lor.
bb quite clever one, it is us who think they dum dum...if we teach them they will learn, if we dun teach them, they dun learn lor.
anyway, we are not out to test them. the main purpose is to bond with bb and cultivate love for learning. And of cos, stimulate them and increase their learning capacity. That's why so many parents cannot do flashcards, cos the objective is wrong...
