ya the kids will perform for every "invited parents" sessions leh... Teachers always say my girl was so well to sing and dance when learning/ practising... but on actual day, when she saw us, she wld cling to us and didnt want to go to perform lor... sigh!!! so thinking maybe we dont "see" her, she can be as normal to sing n dance like in class...
Hi Reiner,
I was there at 1730 also. My son was stoning there and seems least interested. After that he was cranky which was very unlike of him. Later I realised that he was actually hungry!! I think he probably didn't get to eat much during snack time...sometimes they miss giving him his packet milk also!
Which one is your girl? You took pic?
My son is the one standing besides the girl with pillow. Stoning... Kekeke...

cant see my girl from your posted pic... my girl is standing behind the gril with 2 ponytail who is just beside your boy... she's too small size lah... short hair, tiny eyes... keke... she's quite fair lor...
you mean the ordered milk? marigold one right? hmmmmm...
this is the 1st time, the performance session is in the classroom... It used to be in the open space - the space where they have their makan... but agape has to make another room up for the mobile infant... miss the "old times"... spacious, "bigger stage"...
uh.. any comment on the question popped by an adult (grandma of PG?) regarding the teacher and children ratio? what do you think eh?
so what time did you leave?
we gone to the 8th floor @ 1930hrs, but nobody there yet... so we left aro 1945hrs...

Is your girl the short hair one at the extreme left of this pic? You're right...its a bit cramp in there. Especially the games playing part. We played the 1st game and went outside shortly. Too crowded...
Ya, the ordered Marigold milk. Did you order it too? Actually I prefered that they give him formula just like in CS. But since everyone is giving packet I didn't want to "deprive" him of it as he prefers packet milk than formula.
Ehh...it was so noisy like market that I only heard the question but didn't really hear the answer. What was the supervisor's reply arh?
I left before 1930. Wanted to go to the 8th floor but I saw so many people leaving so I thought it has been canceled. Since you leave at 1945 and no one was there, most likely it was canceled also. I think most people went home for dinner...

Teachers are to teach leh - not to clear the shits... they are to further enforce the toilet training lor, provided started from home lor...

Ooh...the aunty kept complaining not enough arh. When the teachers increase, the price will also increase. I hope she won't complain when that day comes. I remember the aunty was sitting at the back row. She was talking away loudly when Diana started to intro. Very distracting.
I feel toilet training has to be both ways. Can't be totally centre's responsibility. But at the same time, it is also tough to just start it at home if the centre is not also training them. It is good that they are increasing the no. of teachers and also starting toilet training. I tried toilet training my son but he rather play with the potty than sit on it. But lately he has been telling me especially in the shower that he wants to wee wee. I believe it is the training they are starting now. I'm not in a hurry actually, as and when he start to learn I am ok with it. Putting on diapers for him is also easy on me. Hahaha... just my excuse for being a lazy mum.

ya cost increase too... keke... then comes the complains again lor... no wonder hard to find teachers lor... so the win-win will be dont put kis @ cc, care for yourself... then the ratio is wonderful>> 1:1... yeah!!!
ya its a both way thingy. but me still think shall start @ home 1st.

the CD consists the photos of your kid in agape leh... the one which you saw on that meet the perent session bah... me didnt attend on that day, is my hb told me one lor... is a small slip not together with the coupon thingy one.... but the 20bucks is for the fund raising too... so we buy lor... or else will ask N1 parents to share share... haha!!!
Oic... I was there and heard about the CD thing. Didn't know it cost $20 and didn't see the slip. I was still wondering when and how can we get the CD. Will check with the teacher this evening. If its for charity, I don't mind donating $20 for it. Unlike CS, they also charged us for $20 for the rehearsal CDs which they keep in their pockets. Btw, I don't think this CD can be shared cos' they did mention the CDs will contain individual kid's pictures right? Or all will be inside?
me got the CD already... ya teacher grace said that she gonna put more of my girl photos in the CD lor... my girl had been playing the CD to everyone whenever they are back from work, like her shushu, gugu, then us... keke. lotsa photos...
my colleague's grand daughter's cc gives the CD leh @ every year end hor... not a single cent charge...

Hi,
Why you don't like the Cherie Heart programme? Cherie Heart should be quite reputable!
Yes agreed, difficult to source for CC esp we want the best for the kid.
YWCA building is old so you see a bit cramp in the office. But is a organisation so .. so far is ok! Maybe you can check the Agrape at Kallang MRT, over there maybe a better choice. Or the Montesorri at the CC, near to Boon Keng Market.

oh the reason is becos the principal tell me that they dont teach phonics for playgroup as they felt the playgroup age is too young to understand which i disagree totally cos my girl is attending zoophonics for 8 wks and she can say/remember half of the phonics now.
to me, learning phonics is part of the criteria cos i have stopped the zoophonic class due to the travelling distance thus hope my girl can learn from cc instead.
agape is very near me cos i stayed nxt to kallang mrt! just called them and found out that got discount if i have ocbc cda a/c. can make use of my younger bb cda to pay for my elder fees but i need to change bank first cos mine is standard chart cda...

Any mummies' kids in Ascension Kindergarten? I m looking for someone to help me to ferry my kids to and fro school for the 2nd session. Let me know your charges if you can offer help. Thanks.

Hi Juz Us
Nursery 1 (N1) is for 3 yrs old, since your gal born in 2008 she will be 3 yrs next year so she will be in N1. Application depends on the preschool, you can visit some of the school near to your house to find out about their curriculum, fees, registration procedures. You will also have to decide if you are placing her in childcare or kindergarten. Childcare is full day and kinder is usually 3 hours.

Hi juz us
Yes, you start the same time cos the registration is by the year they are born and not the month for nursery. Unless you are placing her in playground, they will go by the month she turns 18 months.
My gal is in CC all along so can't comment much on kindys. There are a few around actually other than Ascension, you can call up the churches around like Kim Keat Christian Church http://www.kkcc.org.sg/kindergarten.html , Elim Church http://www.elimchurch.org.sg/kindergarten. I believe there maybe more around this area. Good luck in finding one!
