Hi Mummies,
Need advise. Any mummies here start their little ones in playgroup at 18 months? Do your toddlers have any problems adapting to the class?
I've signed up my 18months old boy in 3 hour daily playgroup program at Agape blk 632A. But now I've cold feet. Haha. Afraid I'm being to enthusiastic in staring my boy in playgroup.
I's just that he spends his days with my maid at home. I tot that its better that he spend a few hours a day in school.

Hi Hani,
No worries lah...I sent my gal to same school when she was 22 mths. She was ok and no more crying after 1 week, tho' sometimes she throws tantrum and says do not want to go to school. But, once she is at the school gate, she is ok liao....goes into class automatically with teacher and says bye bye to her granny (who is her caregiver while we are at work). She is still in the same sch but in PN class now. I have enrolled her with fullday CC with Agape opposite. Likely start her by end of this year, latest.
Hi Jo - When kids starts sch. They will need time to adjust to the new environment. Hence, it is inevitable that they will be sick quite often. My gal got cough and runny nose for almost every other mth for almost the 1st 8 mths when she started her PG. Worst of all, whenever she got it, her younger sister will also kena. We have spent alot of $$$ on doctor liao. But, somehow, this is the stage they have to go thro' and build up their own immunity.

I've not been to the one at Turf City but the go go bambini is really fun for kids above 2+. their maze is very good for motor skills and coordination etc
another new one is Polliwogs at east coast, next to burger king. that one is good for younger kids as the maze is not so complex and the place is big. relatively new too!

Dear all ladies,
Would like to check whether anyone of your child is at Ace Work Childcare (Blk 757, CCK) or been view before. Is this centre good? I heard from others said that this centre teach alot of things. And even N1 kids got exam at year end & their K1 lesson teaching Pri 1 syllabus and K2 teaching Pri 2 syllabus.
Just wondering is this good for kids to learn so inadvance? How their teacher, enviroment...etc?
Sorry for been asking so many question co's i'm look for a cc for my child that go next year for N2. But i scare it'll be too stress for her if she learn so many thing & no play time for her.
Cheers.

Hi Chicken Little,
Ya, i just moved in to CCK. So now looking for CC. I did read that some mentioned Kinderland, Wharton & agape not bad.
I did went to Agape & Wharton. Agape i don't really like it co's due to Hygiene purpose. The rubbish house just outside the CC. Wharton i like their programme but agreed that their centre is too dim & no window. PCF i did call them up, but they don't learn Phonics even at N2, it's really very basic programme.
So would like to check about Ace work at cck Blk 757 whether good or not. I also worry is it healthy to give kid to learn so inadvance co's N1 start to have exam at year end. Is it too much?
Oh ya, there is one CC call Amazing Star Montessori House at CCK Blk 511. Is this good co's seen like no one discuss about it before.
Sorry for been asking so many question co's i'm rushing to find one.
Cheers.

sorry, didn't come to this thread often. next time pm me ok? heee...
i personally prefer montessori style of teaching method, that's why most of the centres i visited are montessori school.
my gal is going to start her 1st day at amazing star tomorrow. i visited the centre few time. but didn't go for the trial as they don't offer any. the trial i went to is at little wonders at jln remaja. i like that place. but 'cos of logistic issue, i got to go for my 2nd preference i.e. amazing star.
For amazing star, during my visits (about 3-4 times, kiasu right? haha...), the way they attended to me is consistent i.e. friendly and open. I like the principal as she's open to give her view and hands on. The curriculum wise, it's montessori with some thematic stuff every term.
The centre is non-air con which is what I am looking for as well. recently, they just had minor renovation and the whole place look cleaner and brighter.
Teachers... their chinese teachers seems more experience than the english teachers, as the english teachers are quite young. if i am not wrong, the only person who is a certified montessori teacher is the principal. this is the minus point, IMHO.
For ACE work childcare, i heard good review from my friend, too. her colleague who stays at woodlands, drive all the way to yew tee to place the kid there everyday. can't give you much comments on this centre.
i think it depends on which angle you look at when the centre teaches stuff way in advance than other s. i have heard that the kids will have no interest in primary school as what teachers teach in school, they have already learnt in pre-school. So, will parents need to sign up more enrichment classes? sort for other avenue to let the kids progress? On the other hand, if the kids have learnt more advance stuff during preschool, we won't be worried that they will be left behind when they go to primary school. So, it's all depend on your kids' capability and how you wanna 'groom' him/her.
just my 2 cents' worth. hope it helps.

Hi Littledot,
Your ex neighbour child is at N2, K1 or K2 that have spelling & ting xie? Wah, every week also have either one then the parent also feel very stress too.
Is not the teacher teach them in the class for the spelling? Still need to go home to learn? Such a young age after whole day study, go back home still need to revise the spelling & ting xie then where got time to have fun with bro/sis, accompany by parent....etc.
So you child is at which CCC?
Thanks for your info.

i agreed with u... my son's cc has spelling and ting xie but he will revise in school and no homework at all. i don't understand why some cc give homework, already full day in cc leh... having said that, my son's cc is considered quite academic in jurong area but he has no homework and no need to revise spelling or tin xie at home.

one mummy's son here is also in kinderland. i have not convinced my hubby to visit it. we visited it about 4 years ago we don't like the playgroup teacher cos she looked very boring while taking care of playgroup kids (i saw similar boring playgroup teacher in wharton last year too) but by now the playgroup teachers should have changed... last year we also visited one kinderland at hwa chong which is very profit oriented, my hubby is turned off but different kinderland has different management. so i will try to convince him to visit kinderland again.
