Hi Pasir Ris mummies
....wondering if u all still rem me. I finally got a flat in Pasir Ris. will be moving to my mum's place (also pasir ris) temp till my flat is ready in End Jan 2010. I will be getting my keys mid Dec and doing extensive Renovations, so targetting to move in before CNY next yr --crossing my fingers.
Any mummies staying around White sands pri that cluster? my new place is blk 184.
Re: Pre-schools/ childcare
My girl (2yr old) is currently attending Playgroup at Talent plus (pasir ris). I intend to put her in half day childcare (then switch to full day aft she get used to it) cos the timing for Talent plus is quite short, kind rush for me to send/fetch her within 2 hrs i cannot do much things.
Can mummies share with me which childcare is good (culture/curriculum)? Or which ones are your kids attending currently? I was thinking of Carpe Diem & Learning vision, any comments to share?

lianrongbao, oh really? which blk is that? me still not 'that' familiar with that area yet.so ur blk is just next to the whitesands pri?
i am glad most of the tods here are with Carpe Diem. i am staying at Sengkang now and almost enrolled my girl in Carpe diem @punggol. i like the environment very much, but held back becos i sold my sengkang flat and moving away soon, so it wont be a wise decision to ferry her to n fro and they didnt have any bus from Pasir ris to Punggol.
But i know that the environment of punggol n Pasir ris carpe diem are fairly different. not sure abt the curriculum though. hope to see more comments from mummies regarding this as i also wish to enrol my girl in a childcare by Jan.
Lianrongbao, how old is ur child ?

welcome s@l! I'm not that far fr u too! stay at 20X.. within walking distance to pasir ris primary. I hv a 4YO gal and a pair of 2YO twin boys! My gal is at Carpe Diem (CD). Hv nt decided when or which cc to place my boys in yet. Hv actually spoken to the director of CD, she advise me to start maybe middle of next yr. Am considering YWCA(nearest to my place) or CD(same sch as jiejie)
Bao, if u intend to place ur twins early next yr, think u hv to start choosing now, they may run out of vacanies soon (at least that's wat the sch directors told me)..

lianrongbao, err...ok. I m really not very familair yet. only know my mum's area 47X and 180+. Anyway ya i agree with YK (YK thanks for sharing yah) that you hv to register a place real soon. From what i gathered, CD is a good CC and usually hv long waiting list. i m thinking if i should start my girl in CC by Jan or not . she will only be 26mths old then. My son (K2 now) started half day CC only at 3.5yrs old.
Besides CD and LV, any other Childcare ard PR that mummies are sending their kiddos to?
YK, where is YWCA? is it a CC curriculum?
Oh another thing, any kiddos here from / going to Nan Chiau Primary school (sengkang)?

hey i am in near white sands pri too! block 140+
i am not sending my son (17 months) to childcare since i am a SAHM, but just enrolled him in Little Neuro Tree coz sometimes i dunno what else to teach him anymore... but honestly it seems quite pricey. does childcare teach the children things too?

thanks bao, maybe will go there to take a look. hehe..
yami, i had the same problem, my sons keep saying no whenever i ask if they wanna go sch, i even bring them to one of the cc to see the kids playing in class!
scubababe, according to wat i understand, during this time Toddler class, it is more abt learning to be independent than abt studying, if u r a SAHM, shld be no problem to teach all these ba? but once they reached ard N2 time, it is best to introduce them to CC or some form of classes, cos that's the time CC starts to really teach stuff to kids, and we (without the proper childhood training skills), may not be able to really provide that kind of appropriate training ba? That's y the sch director advise me to start my twins in CC latest by mid next yr (when they will be 2.5 going to 3 soon)
Just curious, wat do u mummies teach ur kids at home? My sons learn A-Z, 1-20, shapes, colours, opposites, animals, body parts, 5 senses..etc at home. Wat else can we teach for 2 yr old? I'm also running out of ideas wat to teach (other than Chinese).

yk, thanks for the info. will go check YWCA out too.
Hmm, yes 26mths not that young but i feel guilty la..cos i m actually a WAHM. but with her ard i am not productive at all. And i dun wan to rely on my mum daily. I see my son learn alot from CC. And i also prefer them to hv a routine.So aft 'warming up' at 2hrly playgrp, i slowly transit her into half/ full day CC will be easier.
scubababe,which LNT branch are u with? I used to bring my girl to the one at Serangoon (hougang) for abt 2 terms. It's fun and my girl enjoyed it. But I find the time spent in class is too short, and on a weekly basis. so decided to send my girl to daily playgroup instead. the main reason is i DO not need to sit in the class with her! LOL
I guess we Probably cannot compare CC and LNT cos they are quite different as sending kids to CC also to encourage independence/routine life etc. LNT is more of an enrichment programme that stresses on the memory and right brain development. CC i would say is kinda all-rounded.
yami, oh really? hahaa i love shopping and lobangs!are u still active in nov 07 thread? i seldom hv time to read/post recently.ya time flies! some of the mummies even had their 2nd baby already!
YK, same here. thats why i prefer to send my girl to playgroup (started when she was 18mth)cos i also ran out of ideas!

s@l,
yap, 443, pai seh typed wrongly earlier. larger space, individual rooms. overall impression is much better than CD generally. nissi has childcare services from infant care to after-school care so there'll be lots of children of different ages ard, some might it a negative (and perhaps distraction) but to me it's ok, can mingle with more jie jies and kor kors instead
the infant care rooms are at the back of the centre and generally quiet. the time when i visited was ard noon and some classes were having lunch, all were very well-behaved and independent
the centre looks to be very well-run. can pop by and pick up some brochures from the gate or at the counter
yk,
ur ah boys got do puzzles? mine love doing puzzles & lego as well as drawing & coloring
now starting to teach E do simple addition & substraction. he loves $ so i use that to make him do simple maths

bao, they are doing simple puzzels now, dun really like lego.. drawing colouring ok lah, they enjoy colouring the walls though! Wow, addition & substraction.. hmm maybe can try, we are trying to teach them word blending now,but I think either we are not teaching it the right way or they are too young to understand, no interest at all.
By the way, do u allow them to watch TV/CD?

yk,
har har har, yah, took a while to find out what they really like, turns out they like puzzles and coloring best. also into electronic toys with sounds. TV ah, i let them watch BabyTV on starhub only, no cartoons on other channels cos some very bo liao / do stupid stuff. for VCDs, C used to like Dora, now obssessed with Mr Bean of all things *faint*
my parents do most of the teaching since i'm not home most times. so quite heng they speak in english and can read to the terrors.

yk: i still have some time to persuade my girl haha.... she coming to 2 next month. I was thinking of starting when she is abt 2.5 years old la. YK, maybe can let ur boys draw or learn a song & dance routine?
s@L: me no longer active in nov 07 thread
didnt know some mummies have 2nd baby liao, tat's fast!!
s@L: me no longer active in nov 07 thread
I used to let my boys watch leapfrog, barney, wheels on the bus and Mio's baby first.. but rencently I had spoken to a teacher friend, she discourage TV.So i sort of cut down their daily tv to almost weekly!(Am wondering if I'm too drastic). So now really trying very hard to replace their "TV time".
Try the dance routine, funny yoga pose, marching, balancing book on head etc.. can only keep them occupy for like 5 mins! haha
I'm also a lazy mum, but am lucky to hv a good & patient maid.. she's the one who taught my boys most of wat they know now. In fact, I'm trying to teach her Chinese, so that she can teach my boys Chinese! haha..

Yami, my girl is just the opposite. she loves to go to school. i rem there was once we brought her to class and me, this blur mummy forgotten that it was a school closure day. in the end we had to turn bk and walk towards our car, she cried like mad when we told her no class for the day.
u can try to start her off with such playgrps rather than CC straight away as it might be too overwhelming for her.

Hi! I didn't know that there was a thread for Pasir Ris moms here. Glad I found it.... I'm staying at Pasir Ris too and my girl is 13months old.
Just wondering....
What is the Pasir Ris estate like during Halloween? Do you guys dress your kids up in costumes and go 'trick-or-treating' with them around the estate....? Or are there special Halloween parties for our kids organised by the Pasir Ris Town Council etc? :-D

calling for dsii... pls check lobang thread and advise, thanks!
s@l,
thanks! will prob drop by Nissi and get them registered for next year
too lazy to scout out other locations also! har har har! i'm super bo chap. since the location is in between my place and my mom's at st 21, it's pretty ideal if i shd decide to walk them to sch either from st 12 or st 21. we sually bring the terrors over to her place in the mornings but if hubby is away, she'll come to my place instead. so Nissi is really very convenient for us
there's another one called Sherwinn at the CC (polyclinic), can check that out too
